Throughout history, age has often been regarded as a constraining factor. Both being too old and too young presented similar challenges, unless the individual possessed exceptional qualities that distinguished them
as truly remarkable. Debo Ogundoyin, without a doubt, radiates such qualities. It comes as no surprise, then, that he is once again being considered for the highest position attainable within his state’s House of Assembly.
Currently serving as the Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Ogundoyin is one of the youngest political figures in the country, at a mere 36 years old. Despite a growing number of young individuals venturing into politics, Ogundoyi’s supremacy remains unshakable. Furthermore, he carries the endorsement of Governor Seyi Makinde, solidifying his ambition and accomplishments beyond comparison.
Ogundoyin assumed the role of Speaker of the Oyo House of Assembly in 2019, at the tender age of 32. Critics who were initially skeptical of his talents, visionary mindset, and indomitable spirit believed he was too young for such a position. They anticipated that time would teach him lessons in humility and self-awareness. However, the reality has proven to be quite the opposite.
Throughout his four-year tenure, Ogundoyin has emerged as an exceptional leader deserving of commendation. Like his late father, Chief Adeseun Ogundoyin, he possesses a profound understanding of the human condition, a forward-thinking vision, and an unwavering drive. While his education at the prestigious Babcock University may have contributed in some capacity, it is clear that this factor pales in significance, as none of his peers have reached similar heights.
Governor Makinde’s expressed interest in allowing Ogundoyin to continue serving as Speaker for another four years signifies to all, irrespective of party affiliation or constituency, that he has much more to offer the state. With Ogundoyin, diligence and foresight speak louder than age, and in the years to come, these resounding qualities will only grow stronger.Founded on January 22, 1995, THISDAY is published by THISDAY NEWSPAPERS LTD.
