Idiat Oluranti Adebule

Senator, Lagos West (Senatorial) · APC

Assessment Profile06

Senator Idiat Oluranti Adebule was sworn into the 10th Senate on 13 June 2023 as the first female senator for Lagos West, winning 361,296 votes against the PDP's Segun Adewale (248,653 votes); her victory was upheld by both the election petition tribunal and the Court of Appeal in September 2023. She brings a documented educational career and four years as Deputy Governor of Lagos State (2015-2019) under Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to her legislative role. Her legislative output is visible: she self-reported sponsoring 12 bills and co-sponsoring six others by January 2026, and two of her motions were adopted by the Senate. Identifiable bills include the Proceeds of Crime (Recovery and Management) (Amendment) Bill, 2025, which scaled second reading in May 2025, and reported sponsorship of amendments to the Compulsory, Free Universal Basic Education Act and the Child Rights Act. Two adopted motions are independently reported: a motion on out-of-school children (invoking a UNESCO figure of 20 million out-of-school Nigerian children) and a February 2026 motion on the urgent need for adequate stocking of antivenom and emergency medicines in hospitals, adopted after public outrage over the death of Abuja singer Ifunanya Nwangene from a preventable snakebite. On constituency delivery, self-reported projects include six solar-powered boreholes, transformers donated to seven communities, construction of classroom blocks across multiple LGAs, inauguration of a skill acquisition centre at Odi-Olowo/Ojuwoye LCDA, commissioning of a centre in Mushin, construction of two primary healthcare centres, over 1,000 solar streetlights, and a multi-purpose youth development centre in Badagry; a January 2026 stakeholders' programme distributed cash, mini-buses, sewing machines, laptops, and catering equipment to 1,000 beneficiaries. These project claims have not been independently fact-checked by a third-party monitor in the public record. On integrity, no criminal charges, arraignments, or convictions have been recorded against her; she remained in the APC throughout her tenure and was affirmed as the party's consensus candidate for Lagos West in the May 2026 APC primary, emerging unopposed.
