When Hon. Shina Peller first muted the idea of going into politics a few years back, many couldn’t just believe how the young businessman would easily transform from being a businessman to go into full-time politics.
Even when he decided to contest for a National Assembly seat, it was the same skepticism that trailed his decision.
But many years after settling in this slim and stylish Oyo lawmaker has left no one in doubt that he is fit and able. He has dazzled his constituents beyond a reasonable doubt. He has also fulfilled his promises to his people. In fact, the general view is that Hon. Shina Peller has over delivered on his promises.
Not only that. He visits his constituency almost on a weekly basis and constantly empowers Male, Female, Young, and Old people in his constituency. They see him as nice and down to earth. He interacts with them freely and they constantly leave his events with a broad smile.
It is still amazing how Hon. Peller in just a few years has risen to become one of the lawmakers to beat, in terms of performance.
