The Mien Of Amiable Hon. Balogun Adebayo

In the estimation of an American football coach, Vince Lombardi, leaders aren’t born; they are made through hard work.

Hence, his position that:  “Leaders aren’t born, they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that’s the price we’ll have to pay to achieve that goal or any goal.”

But there are those who will maintain that there are leaders that are born.

For associates of Honourable Balogun Adebayo, member, House of Representatives representing Ibeju Lekki, he is a true leader born.

A greenhorn politician at a point, Hon. Adebayo passed through the formative years of politics to get to where he is today, becoming a colossus of a kind who is uniting his people in an uncommon style.

A grassroots politician, the chubby and dark-skinned man is among the few politicians concerned about the people of his constituency.

At a recent town hall meeting of communities in Ibeju Lekki, Lagos State, Hon. Adebayo didn’t betray any emotion of being an elite, as he mingled with both the literates and those below him, addressing challenges bedevilling the communities.
