Quotes It has truly been a journey of grace. That is the simplest and most accurate summary of my life and times over the past 60 years. I was born on Saturday, January 8, 1966, at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, to Dr Lateef Salako and Mrs Rahmat Salako. I am the first child, with three other siblings. For my first few years, I lived abroad with my parents before we eventually returned to Nigeria. Oyedele speaks about governance, lifestyle and other issues I was actually offered admission, but I opted out. I believe my parents were concerned about allowing me to be on my own at such a tender age. So, I did two years of A-levels and then proceeded to the University of Lagos to study Civil Engineering in 1983. Oyedele speaks about governance, lifestyle and other issues I have always loved politics. Growing up, one of my favourite activities was listening to the news and reading Time Magazine. I have always been deeply concerned about happenings in Nigeria and around the world. While in the UK, I participated actively in politics, and as a Commonwealth citizen, I was eligible to vote in their elections. So, I have always been politically engaged.

Approaching politics that way may suggest the wrong motivation. Oyedele speaks about governance, lifestyle and other issues I have attended public presentations on the bill seeking reserved seats for women, and I want to commend the Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives for sponsoring it. I will always support initiatives aimed at improving women’s participation in politics. However, what I do not support is tokenism. Women need affirmative action, not symbolic gestures.
