Over two decades in public service, he has built a reputation as a principled advocate for accountability, retiree welfare, inclusive politics, and electoral integrity. As a legal practitioner, he brings discipline, due process, and respect for the rule of law to public discourse.
Alignment with 36 PEG Objectives
The 36 Political Elevation Group (36 PEG) is a non-partisan coalition committed to elevating the standard of leadership across Nigeria by identifying, supporting, and promoting candidates with proven integrity, competence, and a clear capacity to deliver for the people. Our objectives are to:
1. Promote issue-based politics over patronage and personality cults.
2. Advance transparency and accountability in public finance and governance.
3. Defend the welfare of ordinary citizens, especially retirees, workers, and marginalized groups.
4. Encourage inclusive and unifying leadership that transcends religious and ethnic division.
5. Support electoral integrity and the emergence of leaders who reflect the will of the people.
Bar. Oyedepo’s public record aligns directly with these objectives. He has consistently called for the timely payment of pensions and gratuities, arguing that infrastructure is meaningless if retirees cannot live with dignity. He has challenged exclusionary politics and urged broader participation, stating that competence and fairness must guide leadership selection. He has also demanded transparency in revenue management and condemned fraudulent elections, insisting that democracy must serve the people.
Our Endorsement and Pledge
36 PEG is non-partisan. We do not belong to any political party. Our support is for candidates, not platforms. We back individuals with proven pedigree, competence, and the capacity to deliver results for the people, irrespective of the party they contest under. We know Bar. Oyedepo, we believe he can deliver, and we stand with him because his record shows he will put Kwara South first.
Kwara South deserves a senator with courage, credibility, and a clear commitment to service over patronage. 36 PEG pledges to mobilize our structures and networks across the 36 states to support his campaign and work with him to deliver a new standard of representation for Kwara South, Kwara State, and Nigeria.
