Past Records

Akinbade was appointed a member of the board of Delta Steel Company in Aladja, Delta State, and was Chairman of the company's Finance and Multipurpose Committee. Akinbade joined the Osun State government, working for over sixteen years under three military administrators and then under the civilian governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola. In 2003 he was appointed Secretary to the state by Olagunsoye Oyinlola. In 2004 Fatai Akinbade was chosen as the leader of the Party in the Iwo Federal Constituency.
Akinbade announced his plan to run in the PDP primaries for state governor in February 2010. Eventually fourteen others announced their candidacy. In June 2010 his bid was given public support by several traditional rulers in the Ife region of the state, including the Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade. However, Akinbade's bid was opposed by party leadership. They directed all the state council chairmen to back Senator Iyiola Omisore, whose election as Senator for Osun East had been annulled in October 2009. The April 2011 election did not take place. In November 2010 the Federal Appeal Court, Ibadan declared that the April 2007 election of Olagunsoye Oyinlola was invalid, and in his place declared that Rauf Aregbesola of the Action Congress of Nigeria was the winner.
