Adegboyega Isiaka OyetolaCON (born 29 September 1954) is a Nigerian politician who is the current minister of Marine and Blue Economy. He served as governor of Osun State from 2018 to 2022.[1]
He contested for the Osun State gubernatorial seat on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the September 2018 gubernatorial election and won. On 23 March 2019, a tribunal declared him to have not been legally returned and ordered INEC to issue certificates of return to Senator Ademola Adeleke of the PDP, which was contested at the Court of Appeal.[2] Prior to his winning the election, he was the Chief of Staff[3] to his predecessor, Rauf Aregbesola.[4]
He was appointed minister of transportation by President Bola Tinubu on 16 August 2023,[5] but redeployed four days later to the newly created Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy.[6]
