Nairabet owner Akin Alabi has won the All Progressives Congress House of Representative ticket for Egbeda/Ona Ara federal constituency, Oyo State. He clinched an automatic ticket after other contenders stepped down for him.
“I have just been declared the winner of the primary election after the other contestants, Hon Jenrade, Hon Adewale Ishola and Hon Adio all stepped down for me,” Alabi tweeted on Thursday.
The Nairabet owner had in 2015 contested for the Egbeda-Ona Ara seat of the House of Representatives’ election under the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, but lost.
He had earlier resigned from the sports betting company to enable him to concentrate on his political ambition ahead of 2019. But maintained that if he loses he is always welcome back into his office at anytime.
“If I lose, my seat will be waiting for me at the head office. Politics is not a do or die affair,” he said.
Akin Alabi is considered as one of the foremost young entrepreneurs in Nigeria.

Is this not the Akin Alabi, the video director? . Who directed most hit music videos years back. Alongside Kemi Adetiba.

I hope so. He's the one then. A professional director who corrected the banned 2face TRUE LOVE music video back then directed by KENNY'S MUSIC

@Aligba; No, he is not. The publisher of Success Digest is Dr Sunny Ojeagbeaso...
Akin Alabi used to publish similar business newspaper called "INCOME"
I bought INCOME for N50 back then in Port-Harcourt. These are the guys that first started Tech/online business in Nigeria.
@Libra: well said.

Aligba Jerry T, yes, he is the Akin Alabi you read about in Success Digest but he is not the publisher. The publisher of Success Digest is Dr Sunny Obazu Ojeagbase. Dr Sunny Obazu Ojeagbase is a mentor to Akin Alabi. Whatever Akin Alabi is doing today on the internet, he learnt from Dr Sunny Obazu Ojeagbase.
