Simisola Fajemirokun -Ajayi is gaining growing support in her bid to represent Ile-Oluji/Oke-Igbo and Odigbo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, as party stakeholders and community groups describe her as a prepared and results-driven candidate.
Her campaign focuses on governance experience and economic development across the constituency’s three local government areas.
She highlights a record that includes facilitating over $150 million in investment pipelines and supporting the recovery and repatriation of more than $50 million in assets into Nigeria. Supporters say this strengthens her credibility in the race.
Fajemirokun-Ajayi says representation must deliver practical outcomes. She argues that lawmakers should convert local resources into economic opportunities.
“Representation should mean understanding the people, knowing the strengths of the land, and turning those strengths into real benefits for everyday people,” she said.
In Ile-Oluji, she identifies cocoa production as a key asset and calls for a shift from raw output to processing, stronger farmer support, and improved export access.
She also points to Ore as a commercial hub with industrial potential, saying infrastructure investment could drive jobs and growth.
In Odigbo, she highlights bitumen deposits as an untapped resource and calls for policies that ensure host communities benefit directly from extraction.
She previously served as Senior Special Adviser on Strategy, Investments and Partnerships at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and as Executive Secretary of the West Africa Economic Summit Secretariat.
She also led the APC National Situation Room Secretariat during the 2019 and 2023 elections.
Her supporters cite her experience in governance and investment coordination as a key advantage in the race.
