“JDS is the Adebisi of Our Generation, Stop Pushing Him to Become Governor” – Dr. Habeeb Olamitoye
Dr. Habeeb Olamitoye, a close family friend of Alhaji Ganiyu Sanusi, the father of Jagun Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oloye Jubril Dotun Sanusi (JDS), has likened him to the legendary Adebisi Idikan, the renowned philanthropist during the colonial era. In a statement that has stirred conversations across Oyo State, Dr. Olamitoye implored people to stop pressuring Sanusi to run for governor, emphasizing that his charitable spirit and humanitarian efforts are akin to those of Sanusi Adebisi Giwa Idikan, whose philanthropic legacy still resonates today.
Adebisi Idikan, famed for his remarkable generosity, became a symbol of selfless service and community development.
Dr. Olamitoye drew a direct comparison, noting that Chief Sanusi’s extensive contributions to society are reminiscent of the impacts Adebisi had on the people of Ibadan and beyond.
“Chief Dotun Sanusi is the Adebisi of our generation. His generous spirit is too profound to be compensated by an office in the Oyo State government secretariat. His contributions transcend the realm of politics,” Dr. Olamitoye remarked. He further elaborated that while many aspire to political office to enact change, the Ilaji boss has consistently demonstrated that real influence comes from selfless service, much like Adebisi Idikan, who became a household name through his philanthropic gestures rather than political ambition.
Addressing the increasing calls for him to contest for the governorship, Dr. Olamitoye firmly stated, “Stop pushing him to become a governor.” He stressed that Chief Sanusi has shown no interest in politics, preferring to focus on his mission of uplifting the less privileged and fostering development across Oyo State. Dr. Olamitoye cautioned that pushing Sanusi into a political role might undermine the unique contributions he is already making to society through his various philanthropic endeavors.
Chief Sanusi, who serves as the Chairman and CEO of Ilaji Sports and Resorts, has earned widespread recognition for his efforts in youth empowerment, sports development, and community upliftment. Notably, his initiatives, such as the Ilaji Football League and other grassroots programs, have provided countless opportunities for young people in Oyo State, propelling the state to greater heights in sports and development.
Dr. Olamitoye’s praise for Sanusi echoes the sentiments of many who have witnessed his impact firsthand. Much like Adebisi Idikan, Chief Sanusi has built a legacy of service that transcends material gain or political power. His ability to touch lives, create opportunities, and foster unity speaks to the depth of his commitment to humanity.
In conclusion, while the political scene in Oyo State continues to evolve, Dr. Olamitoye’s message serves as a reminder that true leadership is not confined to public office. Chief Jubril Dotun Sanusi, much like Adebisi Idikan before him, has shown that one can make a profound and lasting difference in the lives of others through philanthropy and service, without the need for a political title.
