The aspirant, who is currently the Coordinator-General of the Onward Movement of Nigeria, has also served as the Personal Assistant to Hon. Sunmi Odesanya, a former representative of Ikorodu Constituency I in the Lagos State House of Assembly.

Until recently, he was the Coordinator of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Registration/Revalidation exercise for Ikorodu Constituency I.

“Dear friends and well – wishers , #Ikorodu L.G 2021# , we are coming. Watch out!!! .

“Re- defining the purpose, new policy direction that will create sustainable growth and endless possibilities. #Ara koni gbe inu wa da oooo  ti  omo omo#”.
