An Ogun State-based entrepreneur, Muraina Banjoko, has disclosed why he is eyeing the Ogun Central Senatorial District seat at the National Assembly in 2027.
According to Banjoko, he is aspiring to unseat the incumbent senator representing the senatorial district, Salis Afolabi Shuaib during the next general elections in order to use the legislative platform to continue impacting positively and help the socio-economically disadvantaged members of the society.
The real estate mogul and chairman of Threeco Construction Company, who stated this while addressing select stakeholders and support groups at a grassroots gathering in Ifo, Ifo Local Government Area of the state, explained that his ambition is driven by a deep-seated passion for service, philanthropy, and advocacy for the uplift of the downtrodden in the society. He emphasised that his journey into politics is an extension of his lifelong commitment to humanitarian service.

“I have always believed that leadership is about service.
My closeness to the grassroots has shown me, first-hand, the struggles of ordinary people, and I cannot stand by while they continue to suffer. My passion for the masses is the driving force to seek representation at the National Assembly.
“My ambition is to use the legislative platform to continue doing what I have done all my life, which is to help the socio-economically disadvantaged in our communities. Over the years, I have used my platform, Threeco Foundation, to carry out philanthropic gestures, such as scholarships for indigent students, empowerment programmes for women and youths and sponsoring medical outreaches in rural communities across the six local government of the senatorial Ogun Central,” Banjoko stated.
Speaking on behalf of the support group, Reverend Yemi Adekunle, noted that Banjoko’s closeness to the grassroots makes him uniquely positioned to represent Ogun Central effectively.
