The Senator was subsequently elected into the upper chamber of the National Assembly where he represented the Osun Central Senatorial District before his appointment as the National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress.
According to the Forum: “In all of these offices where he had served at different times, Senator Basiru made us proud in Osogbo.”
The Forum expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for considering Basiru worthy of the appointment and prayed that God will grant him the wisdom to succeed in the assignment, while also calling on all sons and daughters of the town to sustain the spirit of love and unity that now reigns supreme among them.
