Leadership in Motion: The Case for Abdul Ganiyu Vinod Obasa in Agege 2025
At a time when many communities across Nigeria are demanding more from their local governments, Agege finds itself at a crucial junction. The coming elections present an opportunity to not only sustain development but deepen it and Abdul Ganiyu Vinod Obasa (AVO) is emerging as a compelling choice for that task.
AVO brings a multi-dimensional profile to the table. He started his professional career at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), a globally respected firm, where he honed his skills in financial analysis, auditing, and advisory services. From there, he moved to Providers Bank, taking on key responsibilities in banking operations and strategic development. His trajectory continued with Parallex Bank, where he served as Head of Performance Management and Strategy, driving institution-wide growth, policy implementation, and financial sustainability.
He holds a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Accounting and Finance, is an affiliate of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), and is currently pursuing his Doctorate at Babcock University. This academic journey reflects not just competence but a relentless commitment to personal and professional development.
In the real estate space, AVO has transformed De’Havilland Homes into a forward-thinking development company known for delivering modern, eco-conscious, and community-friendly housing projects. But what makes him truly unique is his seamless transition from the boardroom to the grassroots.
His day-to-day engagement with Agege residents from mentoring youth through football, to supporting women entrepreneurs, to attending community development forums, demonstrates that AVO’s leadership is not seasonal. It’s consistent.
His AVO 2025 manifesto promises continuity and innovation: enhanced infrastructure, free school shuttles, vocational hubs for youth, 24-hour healthcare centers, adult literacy classes, and sports development. These initiatives are not abstract, they are realistic, well-structured, and reflective of what the people of Agege truly need.
In a political climate where voters are more informed and expectations are higher, AVO brings the right blend of experience, education, and empathy. He is young, but seasoned. Ambitious, yet grounded. And most importantly, he is ready to serve with purpose.
