Senator Soji Akanbi is the lawmaker representing Oyo South Senatorial District of Oyo State in the Senate on the platform of the All Progressives Congress(APC). The 54-year-old senator, who is married to Mrs. Folake Akanbi, played big in the oil and gas sector before venturing into politics and founded an initiative Rilwan Adesoji Akanbi Foundation(RAAF) to support the underprivileged. In a recent interview with PUNCH where Akanbi spoke on his activities outside the red chamber, he revealed that he is not a womaniser. When asked how he copes with female admirers who are all over the National Assembly, Senator Soji Akanbi said, “I don’t even notice them. I don’t have time for them. I am too pre-occupied with the national assignment which I have been elected to do. So, I don’t see those girls, I don’t notice them at all.”

Responding to the question that many male lawmakers in Abuja, because of their money and influence, are socialites who love women, the Oyo South senator added that, “It is a no for me. My personal experience is that after getting home, I say my prayers and I don’t go out anymore. I have one of my aides who stays with me. After eating, we will move into the library to spend one or two hours everyday to prepare for the next day. Whoever is doing that (socialising), I wonder where they have the time to do such. Most of the time, I get home between 7pm and 8pm. After eating, we move into the library till around 10pm or 11pm; we look through our notes to prepare for the next day.”
