In light of recent discussions and concerns raised by some of Chief (Engr) Jubril Dotun Sanusi’s business associates, family, and friends regarding his potential entry into politics, the JDS Support Group wishes to clarify our stance and the reasons behind our call for his gubernatorial aspiration.
As the convener of the JDS Support Group, I, Rahmon Akintunde Alawode, acknowledge that everyone is entitled to their opinion. However, our appeal for Chief Jubril Dotun Sanusi to consider running for the governorship of Oyo State in 2027 is rooted in our belief in his proven track record and dedication to community development. It is worth noting that Chief Sanusi’s extensive contributions to the community, including his support for both the All Progressives Congress (APC) during Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s presidential campaign and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the re-election of Engr Seyi Makinde as Governor in 2023, reflect his commitment to the well-being of the people.
The JDS Support Group comprises various sectors, including Oyo State Market Traders, Youths, Students, and other community groups who recognize the positive impact of Chief Sanusi’s initiatives. His philanthropy and leadership qualities make him a fitting candidate for public office, particularly in a gubernatorial role, where he can implement policies that foster growth and development at a broader scale.
We understand the concerns about the challenges and potential pitfalls of politics. However, we believe that Chief Sanusi’s entry into the political arena could bring about much-needed change and progress for Oyo State, leveraging his experience and dedication to public service. The support from diverse groups is not merely about asking him to run but is also a call to continue his good work and expand his influence for the betterment of the state.
In conclusion, we urge Chief Jubril Dotun Sanusi to consider this call seriously. We believe his leadership could bring significant benefits to Oyo State, building on his successes in business and community service. We also assure all stakeholders that the JDS Support Group will continue to advocate for integrity, transparency, and accountability in all political engagements.
