April 03, (THEWILL) –Tokunbo Modupe, the founder and head honcho of leading public relation firm, TPT International Limited, may have to relax from the administrative duties of the company he laboured to build for over a decade for an elective position.
Despite being a leading light in Nigeria’s public relations practice, Tokunbo has indicated interest in representing Ondo North Senatorial District in the National Assembly in 2023. He even went as far as obtaining a nomination form to contest under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He obtained the form at the National headquarters of the People’s Democratic Party in Abuja a few weeks ago. This was done after weeks of consultation with critical stakeholders and party stalwarts across the state.
This development is coming four years after some political leaders and youths within the senatorial district held a major meeting which resulted in a consensus that Modupe was fit to represent them at the senatorial district. However, the dream was aborted after he lost at the party’s primary in 2018 to his opponent, Olusegun Alonge who scored 339 while he scored a total of 280 votes.
After his defeat at the PDP primary, he took a back seat in politics and went back to his business. He also embraced philanthropic acts to worm his way into the hearts of Ondo North indigenes and pave the way for his future political ambition. He invested a lot in his home town and district, touching lives with his resources from donations to skills acquisition for the youths.
