Voice Air Media, VAM News Update
It is no more news that the All Progressive Congress (APC) gubernatorial aspirant, Engr. Ifeoluwa Oyedele had obtained and submitted his nomination and expression of interest form to participate in Ondo State 2024 governorship election.
The Okitipupa born politician is quite conscious of what it takes to wrestle the gubernatorial ticket of the APC from a sitting governor in the primary election.
He has been making wide consultations across the length and breadth of Ondo State on the gubernatorial primary elections.
The Executive Director, Engineering & Technical Services of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company, Oyedele has achieved tremendous success in his effort of power restoration by handing over the largely completed project to Benin Electricity Distribution Company (Benin DISCO) to enable it to undertake customers enumeration and subsequent reconnection of the area to the national grid.
Here is a vastly experienced and awesomely competent individual who is without a doubt a tested and trusted person. Oyedele is not just a super performer as a technocrat, he is also known for his penchant to always walk the talk. He has demonstrated his ability to be a better governor of Ondo State has achieved huge success in the task of restoring electricity to Ondo South Senatorial District.
He is reputed as a man of integrity whose watchword is competence. He is a man of extreme goodwill and someone whose time has come. Aside from being of uncommon brilliance and impeccable integrity, Oyedele is a seasoned technocratic and committed party man who has paid his dues in politics and truly deserves to be the next Executive Governor of Ondo.
Oyedele is clearly a man of extreme humility that also shares character similarities with President Buhari as far as integrity and honesty are concerned. He is a man whose honesty and commendable level of transparency can never be denied by anyone. He is clearly different from an average Nigerian politician that sees political offices as opportunities to amass wealth at the expense of the populace. Ifeoluwa has the enviable reputation of being a stickler for integrity, accountability, transparency and orderliness.
The 60-year old leading APC aspirant was a member of the ACN/CPC Merger Committee that negotiated the merger of the legacy parties that eventually metamorphosed into the All Progressive Congress (APC). He had prior to the merger talk served as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC). He was also a member of the APC Constitution Drafting Sub-committee as well as a member of the APC Constitution Review Committee.
Ifeoluwa has to his credit the honour of designing the logo of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and he was indeed one of the 15 gentlemen that began plans for the emergence of General Buhari as the Presidential Candidate of APC in 2014, shortly after the party was registered. He was thereafter appointed as the Ondo State Coordinator of the Buhari Campaign Organization when GMB became the APC presidential candidate. It is noteworthy that Oyedele was the first person to open a State Campaign Office/Secretariat for General Muhammadu Buhari in August 2013.
He was the Head of Media and Publicity Committee of Buhari Campaign Council in Ondo State in the run-up to the 2019 presidential election. The political organizing skills of Oyedele, as well as his active involvement in Ondo state politics, were seen displayed during the 2019 presidential election in which the APC narrowly lost to the candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
It is noteworthy that he made a substantial donation to all the candidates that contested on the platform of APC in the 2019 general election. APC candidates that benefitted from this substantial donations included the senatorial candidates, House of Representatives candidates and all the House of Assembly candidates of the party.
Meanwhile, it is apropos to point out that APC could have woefully lost the same election in Ondo if not for the active involvement of a thoroughly committed party man like Engr Ifeoluwa Oyedele.
Oyedele has over the years built a robust career that cut across engineering management, manufacturing, construction, venturing, governance and engineering consulting from 1982 till date. He has evidently proven his mettle in both public and private sectors.
The unapologetically detribalized Oyedele is the Executive Director in charge of Engineering and Technical Services at the Niger Delta Power Holding Company Limited. He was appointed into this position strictly on merit in August 2016.
He had earlier been appointed and served as the Executive Director/Chief Operating Officer of Gambiul Builders Nigeria Limited and Rikmor International Limited. In his capacity as the Executive Director/Chief Operating Officer, Engr. Oyedele was responsible for mapping out strategic business agenda, negotiating contracts and ensuring that quality, as well as standard of jobs, were maintained.
The highly respected Ifeoluwa had earlier worked as the Head of the Sales Department of Dynapower Nigeria Limited for two years. He thereafter consulted for Edison Group and Partners where he strictly designed electrical engineering projects and services in accordance with clients’ briefs and terms and also supervised the execution of projects.
Engr. Oyedele began his career with DAFEC Consultants as an engineer with responsibilities to design and prepare tenders for rural electrification projects. His responsibilities also included supervision and monitoring the implementation of projects.
He later joined Oyo State Ministry of Works and Transport on the recommendation of the then Governor of old Oyo state, late Chief Bola Ige.
He worked at the ministry for two years with similar career responsibilities in his previous jobs.
