ALAO : A Heart to Serve, The Passion to Bring Hope

IN the history of every great nation there are always great exceptional few, those whose lives and action shape the destiny of the people, those who have an indomitable spirit to develop and contribute passionately to improve the people’s lives. Among such few is Semiu Oladimeji Alao.

Forty one years ago, the renowned family of Arisekola-Alao of Adigun village via Ajia in Ona -Ara Local Government Area of Oyo state was blessed with a baby boy christened Semiu Oladimeji Alao. He started his success story with a brilliant academic career at Omolewa Nursery&Primary School, Ibadan. He was at various times a willing pupil and student at Lagelu Grammar School, Ibadan and Government College, Ibadan where he completed his SSCE/WASSCE. He also had a brief stint at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) in Ogbomoso, before his parents decided to relocate his studies to the United Kingdom.

Semiu acquired his A’ levels equivalent at the famous Bellerby’s College in Brighton and the zeal to acquire more knowledge motivated him to later proceeded to the prestigious University of Leicester for his Bachelors degree. He bagged his first degree in Business Economics. In search of the golden fleece, this golden fish enrolled at the celebrated Buckingham University in the United kingdom and obtained a postgraduate degree in Computing.

The fire of learning kept burning for the ambitious Semiu as he obtained a master degree in Information Technology and Management incorporating SAP from Sheffield Hallam University.

After his jubilant sojourn through the world’s ivy league institutions, Semiu began his working career in the United Kingdom where he holds sway as a SAP consultant for companies like Britvic, Cerox and also managed some companies as Business Executive before returning to Nigeria to contribute his quota to the enhancement of his family business group including the Lister Corporation where he was enlisted as Manager and later an Executive Director in the group’s Oil & Gas Division at the Lister Tank Farm, Apapa Lagos.

He is also a non Executive Director in a number of Nigerian based companies and leading business concerns in Nigeria and overseas.

Aside his international exposure, his love for service to humanity and desire to cause a positively remarkable change in his generation and to the unborn generation to come informed his voyage into the Nigerian political clime when in the year 2014 in his native Oyo state and hometown of Ibadan land. He aspired to represent his people at the lower chamber of the Federal House of Representatives, Abuja, having pitched his tent with the then Accord Party (AP) led by Senator Rasheed Ladoja.

However, his first attempt at picking up with political relevance was overshadowed by intrigues and the overwhelming resistance to his rising popularity by the powers that be, who believed it was too early to bestow such eminent privilege to a relatively inexperienced and politically innocent young man.

Semiu is a welfarist politician whose candid philosophy is immersed in strong human feeling towards the wellbeing of his constituents and the Nigerian masses as a whole. As a matter of his consistent commitment to his astute belief in the general welfare of his people as well as his immediate constituents, Semiu Alao committed massive funding into a welfare empowerment scheme to his constituents in Ibadan North East/ South East Federal Constituency towards the run up of the 2015 general elections in his rare generous bid to galvanise support for his political party at that time. This gesture was one rare feat which till date remains the talk of the town as one act of benefaction very unusual in the political terrain coming from a person who is yet to benefit any returns for whatever reason from the political system of the country or any spoils of office whatsoever even at a time when incumbent holders of same offices and political privileges were at large and at a contemptuous distance to their constituents.

Hence, the gesture earned him the popular accolade bestowed on him by the people of Ibadan land as ‘Omo Oloore’, as his popular political slogan during his campaigns.

Semiu Alao is a young, vibrant and resolute Nigerian politician whose vision for a better Nigerian society is undeterred and unstoppable. He remains focused in his unimpeded bid for the realisation of a better Nigerian nation and religiously committed to the actualisation of a free egalitarian society where Nigerians irrespective of tribe or religious leanings will be able to live to fulfill the full cause of their God’s given potentials.

He has dutifully obliged his People’s calling in his native Oyo state and hometown of Ibadan land to ‘re -present’ his bid to represent his primary political constituency of Ibadan North East/ South East Federal constituency in the House of Representatives, National Assembly, Abuja come 2019 God’s willing.

His political conviction is rested on the dictum of service to humanity and dear fatherland .This is the main crust of his involvement and venture into the hot seat of the Nigerian political stream to bringing his best to bear in rendering the best alternative, in the missing narrative of good leadership which the Nigerian political system has over the years been lacking.

According to him, “our mission like ever is as solid and better reinforced and intact. As well, our commitment to the cause of the common people is unshaken, salient and second to none. The recurring purpose of our mission Is also as clear and ever dynamic.

“My constituents in Ibadan North-East/South East Federal constituency deserves a responsible and responsive representation and a diligently humane leadership. I am inspired to offering myself for service and diligently committed to serving them with all my God’s given strength and resources”, Semiu concluded.

Semiu is contesting under the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
