PRINCE THOMAS OLALEYE OGUNGBANGBE: THE PROVEN MANAGER OSUN EAST NEEDS NOW

It’s apparently clear that Osun East has reached the time to choose a visionary, what we need now is not empty promises, but a servant-leader who can manage our resources effectively, foster development, and advocate for what our communities need, someone who doesn’t just speak of change, but acts and with a great assurance that he will deliver.

The only capable person considering his antecedents and awards received, is Prince Thomas Olaleye Ogungbangbe, PhD, an APC chieftain and expert technocrat. The Group Managing Director of Christ is the Answer (CITA), consisting of CITA Petroleum Ltd, CITA Aviation Fueling Company Ltd, CITA Bulk Storage Facilities Ltd, and CITA Organic Ltd.

A Success Story Based on Hard Work and Results

Prince Thomas Ogungbangbe’s life path is not easy; he begins from grass to grace, starting his career with Pfizer Nigeria, then the banking sector, before finding his pace in the oil and gas industry. In various companies such as Chevron Oil and Conoil, he learned the essential elements of production, refining, and energy distribution. This great experience has now helped his leadership at CITA Energies.

Recently, under his control, CITA controls the largest aviation fuel infrastructure network in Nigeria, currently operating across 16 states; this is not by coincidence, but rather by effective and efficient focused leadership, strategic plans, and commitment to excellence; these are qualities that Osun East urgently needs.

Awards That Speak Louder Than Words

Prince Thomas Olaleye Ogungbangbe is not just a businessman, but a national dignitary whose work speaks for itself. According to Prince Ogungbangbe, “Awards are not just for recognition, they are reminders that people are watching the work you do.”

And truly, his impact is well felt, his numerous list of awards and recognitions serve as clear evidence that he has what it takes to manage Osun East excellently and represent the people effectively, among them are:

Award of Excellence in Sustainable Development Stewardship – UNIOSUN

Oil & Gas Personality Leader of the Year – BusinessDay

Icon of Societal Development – West Africa Student Union Parliament

Thomas Sankara Pan African Prize for Excellence – Patriotic Icon of the Year (2024)

Our people in Osun East should see these honours and awards not just as feathers in their cap, but as a testament that he has the insight on how to get results, and most significantly, that he knows how to get things that matter to people done.

Why the Senate? Why Now?

Prince Ogungbangbe is not entering politics for fame or selfish interest. He’s stepping forward because, according to him:

I believe that leaders from the private sector have a unique perspective and can offer solutions to the challenges we face as a nation.

It is that aspect, of focusing on getting things done effectively and efficiently, that he wants to bring to the National Assembly and Osun East, more than ever.

A Voice That Will Be Heard, A Mandate That Will Deliver

With Prince Ogungbangbe in the Senate, Osun East will be active in national affairs. He will sponsor bills that matter, lobby for projects that will touch lives, and ensure that the development we have been waiting for comes faster and stronger.

He’s not just promising, he’s already proven his commitment through:

A $100,000 research grant to the University of Ilorin on aviation fuel safety.

Ph.D. scholarships for 5 Osun State indigenes at Babcock University.

Support for mass deworming programs for children under the Pfizer HELP initiative.

Donation of 20,000 pain relief injections to the Osun State Government (2016).

Distribution of 2,000 food palliatives across all LGAs in Osun State (2018).

Development That’s Already Happening
