The first and most important is that you must be a citizen of Nigeria in order to be a Senator, and it’s crystal clear without the need of a microscopic scrutiny that Dr. Surajudeen Ajibola Basiru, is a genuine Citizen of Nigeria, who hails from Osogbo, the state Capital, of the State of Osun.
In order to be eligible for contesting an election for Senate, you must be at least 35 years of age, and Dr. Basiru was born in the year 1976, he’s 46 years Old, therefore, He satisfies the Law, in this aspect.

In order to run for office of Senator, the individual must also be a member of a registered political party and sponsored by that political party to contest in the elections. The Nigerian Constitution and does not allow candidates to run as ‘independents’. However, Dr. Basiru has been an active member of the All Progressive Congress (APC), for years.

He has never been sentenced to imprisonment or a fine for an offence involving dishonesty or fraud, nor been convicted and sentenced for an offence involving dishonesty or he has been found guilty of a contravention of the Code of Conduct, this distinguishes him as an individual of an unquestionable and an Unimpeachable Character, and a strictly law abiding.
