The aspiration of Hassan Mihode Hammed may be a surprise to many but for those who have been in his circle, it is only a case of sooner or later. This is mostly because his leadership style is uniquely carved in such a way it draws admiration from people who take the time to understand it.
Alhaji Hassan is often underestimated and misjudged, largerly due to his lanky and if I may add, smallish-stature. However, like the popular saying goes “small body, big engine”. The Chairmanship-hopeful has a soft voice, he is hardly heard when noise is the order, but rather than walk away, he instills and ensures there is decorum.
HMH is a gifted person, his instinctive acumen is one of his strongest assets, allowing him to read situations and people with near perfect accuracy. He possesses a natural ability to weigh options devoid of emotions, anticipate outcomes, and make decisions that reflect both wisdom and foresight. His quiet intelligence has not only earned him the trust of many but has also, in subtle ways, commanded the fear of others.
Having worked closely with him since before the primary election of 2022, I can say without hesitation that he embodies the qualities of a 21st-century leader. He is tech-savvy and possesses a remarkable understanding of basic life hacks that make leadership and management more efficient. His vision for Badagry is straightforward - to take Badagry to the forefront of development, innovation, and inclusive growth.
HMH is firm and tactful in his strategies, and one of the qualities that has consistently worked for him — and will continue to do so — is his integrity. He commits to his words and stands solidly by them. In today’s political space, where two-faced behavior is common, it is not surprising that someone as consistent as he is seeing his aspiration to lead the affairs of Badagry Local Government gain impressive momentum. Confidently I can say, he is poised to become the next Council Mayor.
For Hassan, the future belongs to those who prepare today, and he is committed to equipping the next generation with the tools they need to lead. Most of the people around him today are young individuals whom he is deliberately nurturing into leadership roles. He believes that every move must begin with a clear succession plan. Without mincing words, a BLG administration led by Hassan will birth new and creative leaders who are fully in tune with modern developmental trends. This, however, does not in any way invalidate the roles and experiences of political and societal leaders who have shaped and contributed to his journey.
Over the last few years, he has deliberately taken time to move around the Local Government, fully immersing himself in the realities on ground to understand where the rebuild of Badagry must begin. He has spoken with farmers, engaged artisans, and established relationships with research organizations. He has also shown a strong commitment to driving Badagry’s greatest goldmine — Tourism. Hassan understands the intricacies of governance at all levels and is never afraid to knock on any door if the solution he seeks lies behind it. He is fearless, he is smart, and he is fully prepared to do the work of building a new Badagry.
