Kwara deserves a governor who has walked the same roads as its people and built something lasting from them. Alhaji Muideen Olaniyi Salako is that man. From a roadside motorcycle mechanic in Bida to the Executive Chairman of multiple companies employing over 85 Kwarans, his life is proof that discipline, vision, and service can transform humble beginnings into statewide impact.
Born February 1, 1963, in Offa, Alhaji Muideen did not inherit privilege. Between 1979 and 1993 he worked as a truck driver moving foodstuffs from rural markets to urban centers. He understands the sweat behind every naira earned by Kwarans. Today, through Rear Breeds Global Services, Pholataiz Nigeria, Hafadis Global Concept, Zizania Agric Concept, and others, he drives real development: roads and buildings constructed, farmlands cultivated through Zizania Nigeria Rice, science labs equipped, and MSMEs financed through Smart Earny Investment and Finance.
This is not theory. It is a record of job creation, infrastructure, and agricultural value chains built in Kwara and beyond.
Leadership is a habit Alhaji Muideen has practiced for decades. As Global President of Offa Descendants Union, Director-General of FAATAS, President of Rotary International District D9125, and former Chairman of Edusoko University Governing Council, he has united people, managed institutions, and delivered results. His tenure in NASFAT, cooperative societies, and youth unions shows a consistent thread: build people, strengthen systems, leave them better than you met them.
Kwara’s challenges demand a governor who understands finance and accountability. Alhaji Muideen holds a Ph.D. in Forensic Accounting and Audit, an MBA from NOUN, and advanced certification in Project Management and Control from Dubai. He is a Fellow of the Classic Institute of Entrepreneur. He will bring forensic attention to state funds, project discipline to government delivery, and entrepreneurial energy to IGR growth.
Fluent in Yoruba, English, and Nupe, Alhaji Muideen connects across Kwara’s diverse communities without an interpreter. His leadership philosophy is simple: service, empowerment, sustainable development. He has lived it as a Rotarian, a community organizer, and a businessman who pays salaries and remits taxes.
The Agenda: Kwara That Works for Kwarans
1. *Jobs Through Production*: Expand Zizania Rice and other agro-allied ventures into statewide outgrower schemes. Link farmers to processing, finance, and markets.
2. *Infrastructure That Connects*: Apply construction and project management expertise to deliver rural roads, school upgrades, and primary healthcare centers on time and on budget.
3. *Youth & MSME Engine*: Replicate the cooperative and finance models he pioneered to unlock capital for artisans, traders, and tech-enabled youth.
4. *Transparent Governance*: Deploy forensic accounting standards to public finance. Every kobo tracked, every project measured, every contract open.
5. *Education That Delivers Skills*: Equip technical schools and labs the way Mubafiz Nigeria has done across institutions. Tie learning to local industry.
6. *Security* : Considering the present security condition of our dear state, Dr Muyideen is set work extensively with all relevant security agencies while empowering our Forest guards with improvised security weapon to combat insecurity.
Alhaji Muideen is not a career politician shopping for a platform. He is a builder asking for the tools of government to scale what he has already proven in private and community service. He knows the price of cement and the pain of post-harvest loss. He has met payroll in tough economies and still expanded. That is the resilience Kwara needs in Government House.
If you believe Kwara should be run by a man who started with a toolbox and built companies, who leads with humility and delivers with discipline, then stand with Alhaji Muideen Olaniyi Salako for Governor.
This is more than a campaign. It is a chance to elect competence, integrity, and proven capacity. From Offa to Baruten, from Ilorin to Kaiama, let us unite behind a self-made leader whose life mission is our collective progress.
Kwara can work. With Muideen, Kwara will work.
