Considered a God fearing man, a living legend, a force to be reckoned with and a firm believer in fairness and justice, Otunba Alebiosu started his early career as an engineer after his return from the UK in 1967. In 1976, he entered into politics and became a councillor in the then Shomolu Local Government Area of Lagos State.
He quickly rose to be a legislator in the Lagos State House of Assembly, first elected in 1979 and re-elected in 1983. He was in this post until the Buhari-Idiagbon coup in 1983, after which he focused on building his political leadership career.
Many politicians received great counsel and enormous support in developing their political careers through his mentoring and leadership. Otunba Alebiosu, popularly known as Bush, is a fervent and devout Muslim who built a mosque in the grounds of his home to appreciate the goodness and mercy of Allah.
Otunba Alebiosu is greatly respected by his contemporaries and friends who included the late Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. Family values matter to this great man and today he is celebrated by his beautiful, youthful wife, Otunba Mrs Hilda Funmilayo Bush Alebiosu, who is and remains his heartthrob for life, together with his children, grandchildren and well wishers both in Nigeria and abroad.
