The attention of the leadership of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Lagos State Chapter, has been drawn to a misleading and malicious publication currently circulating online under the title: “A Call For An Immediate Vote of No Confidence on the Failed Leadership of NDC Lagos.” Ordinarily, the party would not dignify baseless propaganda and politically motivated attacks with a response. However, in the interest of our members, aspirants, supporters, and the general public, it has become necessary to set the record straight and correct the false narratives deliberately being spread to create confusion and disunity within the party. First, we categorically reject the false allegations of extortion, exploitation, and coercion against the leadership of NDC Lagos State. At no point were aspirants forced or compelled to make any unofficial payments. The only approved payments made by aspirants were the officially recognized screening fees as directed and approved by the National ...
In the political landscape of Osogbo especially Olorunda State Constituency, some names emerge through noise, while others rise steadily through years of visible community impact. For many residents across the city of Osogbo, Dr. Sesan Sanusi belongs to the latter category, a figure whose growing reputation has been shaped not merely by political ambition, but by sustained grassroots service, youth development, and community-based interventions.
Armed with a Doctorate degree in Mathematics from the University of South Wales, Dr. Sanusi is often described within the progressive family as a product of enduring political loyalty and ideological continuity. His late father, Chief G.O. Sanusi, remained a respected figure within the progressive movement until his passing in 2017, leaving behind a legacy many supporters believe the younger Sanusi has continued through practical engagement with the people.
Across communities including Osogbo, Ilie, Oba-Ile, and Oba-Oke, Dr. Sanusi’s interventions have increasingly tied his name to empowerment and social development. In 2018, he organised one of the notable free medical outreaches within the constituency, providing healthcare services to over 3,000 beneficiaries.
During the same governorship election season, he also deployed mobile medical support teams alongside APC campaign activities across strategic wards in Osogbo, blending political mobilisation with humanitarian outreach.
His influence has equally extended into education and technology development.
In 2019, he sponsored the first African Code Week programme in Osun State, equipping students from sixteen secondary schools with digital literacy and coding skills. Through the Kajola Cooperative and Empowerment Scheme, several APC members within Olorunda Local Government reportedly benefited from interest-free microcredit support.
His educational interventions later expanded into ICT and coding training programmes across schools such as Fakunle Comprehensive High School, Osogbo Grammar School, Ataoja School of Science, St. James Grammar School, and Anglican Commercial Grammar School.
Beyond academics and technology, Dr. Sanusi has continued to invest in youth empowerment and local infrastructure. In 2022, he facilitated rice farming and processing initiatives aimed at creating employment opportunities for young people, while in 2024 he organised cybersecurity training programmes designed to prepare youths for opportunities within the evolving digital economy.
His 2025 interventions included the rehabilitation of community boreholes and support for vocational training through the facelift of the Automobile Workshop at the Industrial Development Centre, Osogbo. In 2026, he again returned to medical outreach, coordinating another large-scale healthcare intervention that benefited more than 1,500 elderly residents across Olorunda Local Government.
As political conversations continue ahead of the race for the Olorunda State Constituency seat in the Osun State House of Assembly, many supporters argue that Dr. Sesan Sanusi’s consistent grassroots presence has made him a familiar and trusted figure among the people. To many within the constituency, his profile increasingly represents a combination of intellectual depth, community connection, and a development-focused approach to leadership rooted in years of visible service.
