Tech Entrepreneur, Michael Adewale Adesanya Joins Race For Remo House Of Reps Bye-Election

…Michael Adewale Adesanya vows to reposition Remo Federal Constituency through Education, Enterprise, and Strategic Legislation

A global business executive, Michael Adewale Adesanya, has formally declared his intention to contest in the upcoming bye-election for Remo Federal Constituency in Nigeria’s House of Representatives, presenting a development-focused vision that blends global exposure with local insight.

At just 37, Adesanya boasts an impressive portfolio as a tech entrepreneur, policy advocate, and educational reformer. In his declaration, he emphasized the urgent need for a new brand of representation—one that goes beyond symbolism to deliver tangible results through policy, constituency investment, and enterprise.

“Remo is strategically located, rich in human capital, and commercially positioned between Lagos and Nigeria’s industrial belt. Yet, it is underserved and underrepresented. We can no longer afford leadership that is familiar with Abuja but fails to move Abuja for Remo,” he said.

Born and raised in Isale Oko, Sagamu, Adesanya’s journey spans continents. He earned First-Class honors in Chemical Engineering from the University of Lagos, followed by an MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business in California.

His professional career includes leadership roles at Procter & Gamble, Jumia, and Gap Inc., as well as co-founding Suplias, a Y Combinator-backed retail tech company, and Oris, a digital platform now empowering over 1,000 Nigerian sales professionals.

Despite his global track record, Adesanya insists his mission is deeply rooted in homegrown progress.

“I’ve built startups from scratch, led teams across continents, and delivered results in complex systems. But now is the time to bring that capacity home. It’s Remo’s turn to rise.”

Adesanya’s candidacy rests on four core pillars designed to unlock federal potential for local development:

1. Educational Advancement

Through his Adewale Students Conference (ASC), he has directly impacted over 5,000 students and teachers across Ogun State. He now seeks to expand this initiative using federal education funding and public-private partnerships to upgrade schools, teacher capacity, and digital learning access.

2. Job Creation through Innovation

Drawing on his entrepreneurial experience, Adesanya proposes a multi-pronged approach to employment through vocational training, tech hubs, and micro-enterprise development—particularly targeting youth and women.

3. Purpose-Driven Constituency Projects

Rejecting the tradition of symbolic handouts, Adesanya promises to deploy constituency funds on scalable, life-changing initiatives: youth-led businesses, modern classrooms, and community development infrastructure.

4. Legislative Advocacy for Economic Reform

If elected, he pledges to champion legislation that attracts infrastructure funding, expands power access, and positions Remo towns for special economic zone consideration—aiming to stimulate industrial growth and commercial competitiveness.

Nigeria’s economic downturn continues to shrink opportunities, especially in semi-urban constituencies like Remo. Adesanya argues that effective federal representation is now more critical than ever.

“The role of a legislator is not to offer empty promises, but to influence national budgets, shape policy direction, and deliver constituency-focused development. We need people in Abuja who understand how to convert access into action.”

A Movement, Not Just a Campaign

With a tone that transcends traditional politics, Adesanya described his campaign as a broader call to action—for Remo citizens at home and abroad to recommit to regional advancement and national relevance.

“This is not politics as usual. It is a mission to restore Remo’s voice and value in Nigeria’s development conversation. I am not asking for trust based on rhetoric—I am asking for it based on a record of building, leading, and delivering.”

As preparations for the bye-election commence, Adesanya’s entry is expected to reshape the contest, introducing technocratic credibility into a field often dominated by career politicians.

“I’m not here to play politics. I’m here to get things done” Adewale said.
