Hon. Balogun, a son of the late renowned Ibadan politician and labor activist, Abdul-Ghani Kolawole Balogun—the first chairman of the defunct Ibadan Municipal Government (IMG) from 1977 to 1979—contested in the 2023 general election for the Oyo House of Assembly in Ibadan North East Constituency 2, and the chairmanship post in this year’s Oyo State local government election, both under the NNPP.

I remain steadfastly loyal to him, no matter what, and I pray for his long life, good health, and abundant wealth.”
