Hon. Clement Akanni hails from Ila-Orangun and was in the 60’s. He is a member of National Assembly, representing Boluwaduro/Ifedayo/Ila Federal Consistency.
As far back as his secondary school days at Ila Grammar School, Ila-Orangun, he has been demonstrating leadership traits and every student and staff of the school had been noticing the peculiar traits. They used to see him as a ray of hope for this generation.
Akanni Olohunwa, as he is popularly addressed by all and sundry is a man of many parts, an administrator, a financial expert, a prosperous business man, an astute and vibrant politician and also a philanthropist of great notes to mention but a few.
Akanni is a lover of progress not only in Ila-Orangun community but he has made his footprints known in the entire Federal Constituency and Osun State at large. This easy going, cool headed but intelligent socialite is a lover of peace. In one of the interactive sessions he had with Igbomina Today, Mr. Akanni said ‘Ila-Orangun is our own Jerusalem and if we love the town, it shall be well with us. Politics is about peace. If democracy is a government of the people by the people and for the people, how can we justify this statement in the absence of peace?
In a community where there is arson, destruction, intimidation and cruelty, where people are living in fear, there cannot be any meaningful development. Absolute peace should be our collective responsibility and with people like us in politics, it is achievable”. He stressed.
Akanni Olohunwa, a retired para-military officer who served his country diligently for 11 years before his retirement; has made significant contributions to the growth and development of his home town.
He is a mentor to many Ila/Ifedayo/Boluwaduro youths and has assisted many of them to be gainfully employed. He has played very prominent and enviable roles in the development and preservation of culture and tradition of Ila-Orangun in particular and Igbomina kingdom at large.
This gentleman believes in an egalitarian society and his vision of industrializing his Federal Constituency is being intensified daily.
It is worth mentioning that Mr. Clement Akanni was meritoriously appointed as Director, Oodua Group of Companies and later in 2013, he became Commissioner 1 at State Universal Basic Education (SUBEB) by the former Governor of Osun State, Ogbeni Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola.
Hon. Akanni is an extremely devoted family man, married and blessed with wonderful children.
Congratulations on your new age, Akanni Olohunwa. May the good Lord bless you and your family on this special day and always.
