Armed with a formidable political pedigree and a vision centered on “Party Supremacy,” seasoned politician Samson Opeyemi Fatola, popularly known as “Te s’oju e,” has officially declared his candidacy for the House of Representatives, representing the Ibadan Southwest/Northwest Federal Constituency.
In a bold move that redefines the local political landscape, Fatola announced his intention to run on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) under the nationally recognized leadership of the Honorable Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, His Excellency Nyesom Wike.
Fatola, a veteran of the 2015 and 2023 electoral cycles, enters the race not as a newcomer, but as a tested leader committed to “giving back to the community that has long sustained him.” His declaration serves as a clarion call for a return to institutional order, citing the March 2026 National Convention in Abuja as the definitive roadmap for the party’s future.
“This is a movement for the people, by the people,” Fatola declared. “My alignment is with the legally constituted structures of our great party. We are moving away from the era of individual supremacy toward a future of true party supremacy. Our people deserve representation that is responsible, appropriate, and, above all, accountable to the collective will.”
Fatola’s campaign is built on the bedrock of “Service to Humanity,” emphasizing a transparent primary process and a rejection of dictatorial tendencies within the political space. Following his strong showing in the 2023 Oyo State House of Assembly primaries, Fatola is leveraging his deep-rooted grassroots support to bridge the gap between governance and the constituents of Ibadan.
As the momentum builds for the forthcoming primary exercise, the “Te s’oju e” movement invites all stakeholders to join a vision where the power truly returns to the people.
Samson Opeyemi Fatola is a dedicated public servant and experienced political strategist with a history of advocating for the people of Ibadan. With a career spanning over a decade in various electoral contests, he remains a steadfast voice for community development and legislative integrity.
