Nigerian Muslim, Fasinro elected councillor in UK

A Nigerian, Adebayo Murisiku Fasinro, has been elected councillor in the United Kingdom.
Fasinro, a Muslim from Isale Eko, Lagos Island, joined
the growing numbers of other wave-making Nigerians that
have been elected into the British political system.
He was elected councillor for Stacey Bushes ward
unopposed to Wolverton and Greenleys Town Council on
Thursday May 5, 2016 under the British Labour Party.
The induction (swearing-in) ceremony for the newly
elected British lawmaker was held on Thursday May 12,
2016 along with other newly elected councillors.
After his election, the journalist by training who had
a brief practice in Nigeria before moving over to
the United Kingdom about three decades ago promised to
provide strong leadership to advance the development of his ward and positively impact British politics.
Fasinro disclosed that he developed love for politics when
he used to drive his uncle, Alhaji HAB Fasinro, to UPN
campaigns and as an observer to ward meetings at his uncle’s residence in Victoria Island, Lagos in the Second Republic in the early 80s.
Labour Party is the main opposition party in Britain and
also elected the first Muslim Mayor of London last week
in Sadiq Khan.
He is married with three children.
