Sharafadeen Abiodun Alli
Senator, Oyo South (Senatorial) · APC
Barrister Sharafadeen Abiodun Alli (born 20 April 1963) was inaugurated on 13 June 2023 as Senator representing Oyo South Senatorial District in the 10th National Assembly under the APC, defeating PDP's Joseph Tegbe with 111,513 votes; both a tribunal and the Court of Appeal upheld the result in September and November 2023 respectively. A lawyer and former Executive Chairman of Ibadan North LGA (1991-1993), and former Secretary to the Oyo State Government under Governor Rashidi Ladoja (2003), he chairs the Senate Committee on Agricultural Colleges and Institutions and has been separately described in reports as serving on the Senate Committee on Electoral Matters. His identifiable legislative output includes bills to establish a Federal Medical Centre in Igbo-Ora (Ibarapa zone), to amend the Pension Reform Act 2014, and to establish the Chartered Institute of Auctioneers; none have been independently confirmed as enacted as at the date of compilation. On constituency delivery, he has executed solar-powered streetlight installations across several LGAs in Oyo South, sunk boreholes in wards across the district, and partnered with the Women for Greater Good Foundation on the multi-season 'Flow With Dignity' menstrual hygiene school tour reaching reported figures of 5,000 to 10,000 schoolgirls. Cash empowerment grants to women and a food bank initiative are also reported. Quantitative independent verification by a third-party monitor of project completion rates across all 99 wards is absent from the public record, and some constituency articles originate from partisan or promotional sources. On integrity, no criminal charges, convictions, or EFCC/ICPC proceedings have been reported against him, and he has remained within APC throughout his tenure. The overall record reflects a senator with visible constituency activity and a nascent but as-yet-unconfirmed legislative docket in a first term.
No court or anti-graft case on public record in this archive as of compilation. Absence of a record is not a clearance.
This grade rates performance in office, not any person’s guilt. Criminal matters appear above only as their court status. How we grade.
