This period provides us with an opportunity to reflect on a political journey defined by consistency, selfless sacrifice and service
beautifully laced with an enduring commitment to democratic governance by the man Senator Michael Opeyemi Bamidele (MOB).
As our party, the All Progressives Congress, APC advances towards its forthcoming primary election, it has become a call of duty for us as a group, Michael Opeyemi Bamidele (MOB) Volunteer Group, under the convenership of Simeon Toluwani Borokini, Senior Legislative Aide to the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio and former Member/Whip of the Ondo State House of 9th Assembly, and a devoted political son of the Senate Leader to formally place on record and add to the audible voices echoing and clamoirjng for the return of this trustworthy Leader to the Senate.
Senator Bamidele’s political journey is not one of convenience, but of endurance, commitment, dedication, service and selfless sacrifices across different layers of Nigeria’s democratic evolution.
From his early participation in progressive political formations to his present role as the Senate Leader of the 10th Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, he has remained a steady force in legislative leadership, one which is anchored on discipline, negotiation, and institutional balance.
In his current position, he has distinguished himself as a stabilising pillar within the National Assembly, coordinating majority legislative business with clarity , depth, focus and composure, while ensuring that the Senate remains a functional partner in national governance. His leadership to the South West Caucus of the National Assembly is highly commendable.
His leadership has helped sustain cohesion within the legislative arm and strengthened the interface between the legislature and the executive.
Equally significant is his steadfast alignment with the reform direction of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration.
Within the evolving demands of national governance, Senator Bamidele has consistently offered legislative backing to policies and programmes of the administration of President Tinubu, ensuring that the legislative framework remains supportive of national recovery, institutional reforms, and economic repositioning.
To Ekiti Central, he remains not just a representative, but a consistent political presence whose engagement clearly demonstrates accessibility, responsibility, and a sense of duty to his constituents.
His representation has been marked by continuity of engagement and a clear understanding of the link between national office and local responsibility.
The MOB Volunteer Group, therefore, views his leadership not as a completed chapter, but as an ongoing mandate that demands continuity beyond Ekiti Central to
In him, we find experience that has been tested, loyalty that has been proven, and leadership that has matured within the complexities of national politics.
It is on this foundation that we reaffirm our total endorsement of his candidature in the forthcoming APC primary election, and we call on party faithfuls, stakeholders, and supporters across Ekiti Central to sustain the trust in a leadership that continues to define stability, experience, and progressive service.
