Prince Thomas Olaleye Ogungbangbe (PhD): The Man With The Solutions To Our Problems, Reasons He Is The Servant-Leader Osun East Needs For Senate

Prince Thomas Olaleye Ogungbangbe

In times like these, Osun East doesn’t just need a representative, it needs a visionary, a builder, a problem solver. That’s why the name Prince Thomas Olaleye Ogungbangbe (PhD), fondly known as Tom-Perry, is resonating across towns, villages, and communities in Osun East and beyond.

Prince Ogungbangbe is not a man of empty words; he is a man of action, a man who understands what people go through because he listens, he learns, and most importantly, he solves problems.

*A Track Record of Service, Not Just Success*

From his early days at Pfizer (now Neimeth), where he quickly rose to become Consumer Product Manager, to his leadership roles at Gateway Bank Plc, Conoil, Sahara Energy Group, and MRS Oil, Prince Ogungbangbe has always stood out, not only for his brilliance, but for his unshakable integrity and value-driven mindset.

At every stage of his career, employers found it hard to let him go, not because of politics or favouritism, but because his presence meant progress, more profits, more growth and more solutions.

*A Reconciler and Peace Advocate*

Prince Ogungbangbe understands that no region can grow amid conflict. That’s why he took initiative in addressing the long-standing tensions between Ido Ayegunle-Ijesa and Esa-Oke, identifying the root causes and championing reconciliation.

“It’s not pride, far from it. My values will lead by example, and with God’s help, communal crisis will become a thing of the past in Ife/Ijesa land when I serve as Senator,” he assures.

*A Vision for Osun East: Economic Empowerment through Strategic Thinking*

One of the major challenges facing Osun State is low revenue generation, but while many talk about the problem, Ogungbangbe offers solutions. He has clearly laid out a vision for tapping into the oil and gas sector to raise Osun’s economic profile.

In meetings with APC leaders in Ile Ife and Ilesa, he explained how investment in energy and oil by the Osun State government can bring real empowerment, employment, and development, just like it has done for Nigeria’s top businessmen.

“We have the resources. We have the manpower. What we need is the will and wisdom to invest strategically. That’s what I bring to the table.”

*Beyond Promises, a Legacy of Giving Back*

Ogungbangbe’s passion for service is not limited to speeches, he’s already changing lives across, his contributions speak volumes:

Sponsored countless scholarships for students across Osun.

Donated $100,000 to the University of Ilorin for vital research on aviation fuel safety.

Provided Ph.D. scholarships for Osun indigenes.

Supplied 20,000 vials of pain relief injections to Osun State in 2016.

Distributed 2,000 food palliatives across all Osun State LGAs in 2018 through NULGE.

Donated refuelling kits to the Nigerian Air Force.

Led mass deworming campaigns for children under Pfizer’s HELP Initiative.

These are not campaign gimmicks, These are solutions in motion to our problems.

Ogungbangbe’s Promise: Governance of the people, with the People and for the People

What sets Prince Ogungbangbe apart is his genuine desire to empower communities. He has pledged to hand over Constituency Project Allowances to the people, allowing communities to plan and execute their own development projects, with transparency and oversight.

“It’s your money. You should have a say in how it is used,” he says.

He believes governance should be participatory, not from a distance, but with the people at the centre.

*A Proven Builder with a National Footprint*

As founder of CITA Aviation Fuelling Company Limited, Nigeria’s largest aviation fuelling firm today, Ogungbangbe is not just a manager, he’s a builder of big dreams. From handling multimillion-dollar aviation fuel operations across West and Central Africa to building Nigeria’s biggest success stories in energy, his journey proves one thing:

With Prince Ogungbangbe, big things happen.

*The Future of Osun East is in Your Hands*

The upcoming senatorial election is not just about voting. It’s about choosing a direction. Osun East must choose between politics as usual and a new era of purposeful leadership.

*With Prince Ogungbangbe:*

Youth and women will be empowered through access to skills and opportunities.

Jobs and businesses will grow through smart investments and partnerships.

Infrastructure and development will become realities, not empty promises.

Most importantly, he will serve, not a rule.

Join the Movement. Support the Solution Provider, vote Ogungbangbe.
