United Kingdom based Immigration officer and lawyer, Hadjia Monsurat Sunmonu


Sunmonu, who holds an LLB intermediate of the London University , was, before her election, an astute member of Oyo Defender Union-UK, a town union in the Diaspora which supports development projects in Oyo Township , her native place of birth.

She said she decided to join politics after witnessing the adverse effect of government’s neglect of infrastructure – fatal accidents on road, while on a trip home. “So, on getting back, I told myself, why don’t we get involved in governance to positively affect our people” she told Daily Sun.
The former immigration officer is bringing the benefit of her overseas exposure to bear on governance. She says she was heading for the house “to assist underprivileged people, small business people and get employment for the youths”. Also to concern her are the cardinal manifesto of her party, ACN – vis: free education, infrastructure provision, agricultural development and environmental sanitation.

She might be the first woman speaker in Oyo state, but certainly NOT the first woman speaker in Nigeria! Chief Mrs. Margaret Icheen emerged as the first woman speaker in Nigeria and possibly Africa between 1999 and 2003. Mrs. Icheen comfortably held sway in the Benue State House of Assembly for a larger part of Obasanjo's first dispensation. The records are there for us to see.

Damn, Aunty Monsurat is now the speaker? Gosh, this devilish woman. Stingy as hell and full of herself. I'd better call somebody to confirm this.

Earlier on in a bid to educate some pple about the fact that the woman speaker elected in Oyo state should not be misconstrued as being the first in the country, some pple are bent on turning the valuable information into a circus of Foul-Mouth-Show. Hmmm,  I feel sorry for them. Congratulations Oyo State and ACN for scoring another milestone. I wish the newly elected speaker an impeachment-free tenure.
