Businessman and philanthropist, Dele Omosehin, has declared that his foray into politics is not motivated by personal ambition but by a firm conviction to serve and drive meaningful development.
Omosehin, who hails from Iju-Odo in Okitipupa Local Government Area of Ondo State, said his political philosophy rests on integrity, compassion, and the pursuit of collective prosperity.
According to him, politics should transcend the quest for titles or positions, but instead focus on service, responsibility, and the transformation of lives.
“Politics, to me, is not a career choice, neither is it a platform for personal ambition. It is a solemn responsibility, a call to serve, and a vehicle through which meaningful change can be achieved for the good of our people,” he said.
The APC chieftain, who also convenes the Asejere Progressive Movement, recalled how growing up in Okitipupa exposed him to challenges of underdevelopment, poor infrastructure, and limited opportunities — experiences that inspired his passion for solutions-driven leadership.
Through platforms such as the Bamidele Omosehin Foundation (BOF) and the Dele Omosehin Development Initiative (DODI), he said he has supported youth empowerment, women’s development, and vulnerable groups.
However, he stressed that philanthropy alone cannot address Nigeria’s deep-rooted structural challenges.
“The problems of our society require political will, policy intervention, and leadership that prioritizes the people above self. That is why I am in politics,” Omosehin noted.
He pledged to continue championing fairness, accountability, and grassroots development if entrusted with leadership responsibilities.
“My aspiration is simple: to see a constituency, a state, and a nation where every Nigerian has the opportunity to thrive. This is why I am in politics. Not for self, but for service. Not for today alone, but for generations to come,” he added.
