Former Lawmaker, Shina Peller’s New Ambition
“Great achievements are born from audacious dreams combined with unwavering perseverance,’’ so says an anonymous quote.
Former member of the House of Representatives, Shina Peller, has proven this quote right. As in the past, he has dared where many of his age-mates fear to tread and come out triumphantly. Perhaps, this has given him more audacity and courage to dream bigger.
Society Watch gathered that the man, who is also a big name in the entertainment industry, is rumoured to be eyeing the governorship position in 2027. Although, according to our source, the ambition is still being discussed in whispers and hushed tones.
Those who have knowledge of the matter revealed that he is banking on his close rapport with the incumbent governor, Seyi Makinde and other influential figures in the state to turn his dream into reality.
Many would recall Peller recently dumped the All Progressives Congress, APC after he was denied the slot to represent the party at the senate in 2023.
A former member of the Green Chamber, Pellet was elected on the platform of the APC in 2019 to represent Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Iwajowa/Kajola Federal Constituency. He, however, dumped the party in 2023 to secure the Oyo North Senatorial ticket of the Accord Party. But he lost the general election to the candidate of the APC, Fatai Buhari. However, some political watchers in the state say that he has lots of Hercules tasks to surmount to achieve his new ambition.
