The 1993 political science graduates from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife have thrown their weight behind the Speaker of Osun State, Rt. Hon. Najeem Salaam on his re-election bid into the state House of Assembly in the forthcoming general elections. Salaam represents Ejigbo Constituency under the All Progressives Congress.

The group, known as N-mates with members from across the globe said Salaam’s good leadership style, which he had demonstrated in the last four years as a speaker has shown that he is a trusted and reliable lawmaker who deserves another term. The group’s Coordinator and Head of Planning and Programmes, Awolowo Centre for Philosophy Ideology and Good Governance, Osogbo, Mr. Tope

Mustapha in a statement noted that Osun State House of Assembly did not only enjoy peace and leadership stability under Salaam but also saw to the passage of over 25 people-oriented bills, including the one establishing community development council areas which will make governance closer to the people. He pointed out that if Salaam did not perform as a speaker, the group wouldn’t have thrown their weight behind him for another term.

But under his leadership, Mustapha maintained, Salaam has transformed the House such that business there is no longer being carried out in analogue but online even as the assembly complex is now wearing a 21st Century outlook. Apart from these, according to Mustapha, Salaam has also contributed significantly to the education development and well-being of not only his constituents but the entire people of Osun State.
