Political career

Olufumilayo Adesanya-Davis, is in the race for president of Nigeria in the 2019 elections. At the political front, her dream to be in the political race for Nigeria presidency was first birthed in 2015, but for President Jonathan's single candidacy choice by the PDP, where she is a member, and as such, made not known her intension. Again recently, within the power play of PDP in 2017, she saw the need for the registration of a party as APDP - Advanced Peoples’ Democratic Party, if the Makafi-faction of the PDP had not won. She is a very active member of the Women's wing of her Party in her State, LGA and Ward to-date.

Currently, she has joined MAJA and she is the only PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE of MASS ACTION JOINT ALLIANCE (MAJA) PARTY, where she aspires to contest the 2019 Presidential election and MAJA is working in collaboration with the newly formed Coalition of United Political (CUPP) made up of about sixty (60) political parties. Following current political parties primaries againt 2019 election, she has just won the Mass Action Joint Alliance (MaJA) Presidential Ticket, at an affirmation ceremony by the party as the CONSENSUS CANDIDATE of MAJA.

Princess Mercy Adesanya-Davies always believes in "Power to the Women and to the Youth of this generation for the prosterity of our unborn children." She says "when a woman is in power, the Youth and Children are better empowered and catered for, so also is the entire society."

A versatile academic and educational prodigy, prolific journalist, widely read, travelled, poet, author, editor, activist, who was in the Versity in the 80s, when Nigerian Universities were well respected in the global academic community, her vision is to pay back to the Nigerian community which nurtured her to the current status. As such she speaks about vision and mission for Nigeria and not any personal ambition at all. "Nigerians deserve better and need to make their own CHOICE, rather than been blown away by any wind or deceptive chant of empty 'change' " she says. As Germany and Liberia have set the pace for female leadership, it's up to Nigeria to join the train in 2019 as the men have had a fair share of their quota in this nation without so much to show for it. The youths are tired, the children are suffering, the men are dying, and the women bear the brunt of it all.

Her vision is to pay back to the Nigerian community which nurtured me to my current status. We have a vision and mission for Nigeria and not for any personal ambitions.

One who cherishes the ideals of a democratic, free and egalitarian society, she could emerge a ticket bearer as the only female candidate. "With God, all things are possible, as He makes everything beautiful in its time" she says.
