In 2011, Ibrahim Babajide Obanikoro took the bull by the horns as he contested the membership of the Lagos State House of Assembly, representing Eti-Osa Constituency II, under the platform of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). Since then, he has enjoyed the love and support of the people of Eti-Osa. He has led massive campaigns in his constituency, and has worked assiduously to increase his constituents’ participation in politics and elections. With this influence, he later contested the Chairmanship position of Ikoyi/Obalende Local Council Development Area and won. However, his victory was truncated by the Appeal Court ruling, based on technical grounds.
In a bid to align with the progressive train of the “Not-Too-Young-To-Run” Bill, the youthful and feisty IBO officially joined the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in February, 2018, and expressed an interest in the party’s ticket for the House of Representatives seat of his constituency. He contested in the party’s primary and won by a wide margin. His victory lends credence to his simplicity, humility, and generosity. IBO is a trailblazer, an achiever, a youth leader and convener of 67Million Youth Initiative, a grassroots mobiliser, a stickler for excellence, and a visionary representative with a mission to serve the people of Eti-Osa Federal Constituency as their representative in the Green House Chamber under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Today, IBO is a brand that people are proud of and has become a political force to be reckoned with in Eti-Osa.
His name resonates with the people as a result of his dogged political campaigns and grassroots mobilization strategy. In March, 2019, he won the House of Representatives’ seat in a keenly contested general elections.
