The growing momentum behind Hon. Taiwo Ayedun, popularly known as SHANANA, reflects a shared aspiration for inclusive leadership, effective representation and sustainable development in Oshodi Constituency I. His emergence as a leading aspirant for the House of Representatives under the All Progressives Congress (APC) has inspired a unifying movement across the constituency, captured in the rallying call: “Oshodi Connects, SHANANA For Rep.”
For many residents and party stakeholders, SHANANA represents a new generation of grassroots leadership anchored on service, accessibility and genuine concern for the welfare of the people. Over the years, he has built a reputation as a compassionate and people-oriented politician who remains connected to the needs and aspirations of his constituents.
His political journey has been shaped by mentorship, experience and unwavering commitment to community development. SHANANA proudly acknowledges the role played by Hon. Hon. Moruf Akinderu-Fatai (MAF), former Member of the House of Representatives for Oshodi Constituency I and now a Commissioner in Lagos State, whose guidance contributed significantly to his political growth and leadership development.
His dedication and consistency also earned him the admiration and confidence of respected leaders, including the late Hon. Masote, who publicly expressed belief in SHANANA’s capacity to provide quality representation and responsive leadership.
Known for his humility and empathy, SHANANA has continued to distinguish himself through a style of politics that prioritises people above personal interests. His commitment to unity, peace and community advancement has endeared him to party faithful, youth groups, women, professionals and grassroots stakeholders across the constituency.
The late Elder Evangelist Osho once described him as a bridge-builder whose leadership would bring people together beyond political affiliations. According to him, “SHANANA is a man of peace whose political legacy will unite many people in Oshodi. His leadership will be embraced across party lines because it is rooted in sincerity and service.”
Today, that vision is becoming a reality as support continues to grow across the seven wards of Oshodi Constituency I, Mafoluku, Afariogun, Igbeyinadun, Shogunle, Ewutuntun, Ogunoloko and Oluyeye. Across these communities, party members and residents are rallying around a common objective: electing a representative they believe understands their challenges and possesses the capacity to advance their interests at the National Assembly.
As the political process unfolds, one message continues to resonate across the constituency: Oshodi stands united for progressive leadership, purposeful representation and collective advancement.
Oshodi Connects. SHANANA For Rep. APC Progress.
