Early Life & Family

Rooted in Ajeromi‑Ifelodun

Hon. Sabur Akanbi Oluwa was born on 13 January 1987. He is the son of Prince Rabiu Adio Oluwa, an APC chieftain who serves as the apex leader of the Lagos West senatorial district — a family lineage of political and community service that shaped his own path into public office.

His journey to the Lagos State House of Assembly was not a straightforward one. His 2022–2023 campaign for the seat was contested against public hostility tied to his family's name in Ajegunle, the heart of the constituency he now represents — a reminder that the trust of Ajeromi‑Ifelodun II had to be earned, not assumed. In the run-up to the election, he sponsored the SAO Community Football Competition in Ajegunle in December 2022, an early signal of the youth and community focus that would define his campaign.

Education

Built on scholarship in public affairs

He earned a Bachelor's degree in History and International Relations from the University of Lagos in 2009, returning to the same institution in 2016 to complete a Master's degree in Public and International Affairs — training that grounds his legislative work in both historical context and public policy.

Career Before The Assembly

Seven years learning the institution from within

Between 2012 and 2019, Hon. Oluwa worked as a legislative officer at the Lagos State House of Assembly — gaining first‑hand knowledge of how the House functions years before he would be elected to sit in it. That experience continues to inform how he moves motions, chairs committee work and engages the legislative process today.

In The House

Elected office & a mandate renewed

Hon. Oluwa was elected in March 2023, polling 21,009 votes to become the youngest member of the 10th Lagos State House of Assembly, representing Ajeromi‑Ifelodun Constituency II under the APC. Within the House, he chairs the Committee on Energy and Mineral Resources, positioning him at the centre of the state's conversations on power supply, including the Lagos State Electricity Bill.

In 2026, ahead of the 2027 general election, he secured the APC ticket to seek re‑election in a primary described as peaceful and orderly — with constituents pointing to his empowerment programmes and community development record as reasons for their continued support.

“This is just the primary election. We are expecting to also come out in our numbers to support him in the 2027 general election... I'm confident that he will represent us well and bring more developments to the constituency.”
