He served as the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives during the Third Republic, Governor of Kano State (1999\u20132003 and 2011\u20132015), and Minister of Defence (2003\u20132007) under President Olusegun Obasanjo. He later emerged as the presidential candidate of the NNPP in the 2023 general election, where his campaign emphasized national unity, education reform, and infrastructural development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ambassador Ajadi, who himself has consistently championed youth participation and good governance through his philanthropic and political engagements, reaffirmed his loyalty to the ideals of the NNPP under Kwankwaso\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs we celebrate our leader\u2019s 68th birthday, I join millions of Nigerians to pray for his good health, long life, and continued wisdom to guide our great party and the nation,\u201d Ajadi said. \u201cHis unwavering commitment to a Nigeria where everyone has equal opportunity remains the driving force for many of us who believe that a new Nigeria is possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ajadi, an entrepreneur and grassroots mobilizer from Ogun State, has been instrumental in expanding the NNPP\u2019s influence across the Southwest region. His political trajectory and consistent advocacy for credible leadership align with Kwankwaso\u2019s long-standing reputation as a reformist and an advocate of inclusive governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He reuterated his message with a reaffirmation of solidarity and hope:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDr. Kwankwaso is more than a political figure; he is a mentor, a patriot, and a living example of selfless service.
