According to Prince Masilo “Rt. Hon. Najeem Folasayo Salaam’s selfless and impressive political and developmental achievements in less than seven years in office have placed his name on sands of time. 

The Chairman of the Alliance of Collaborating Political Parties (ACPP) further described Rt. Hon. Najeem Folasayo Salaam (Iwaloye) as a gentleman of honour, courage and integrity, a leading light of this generation, a consummate politician of our time and a courageous Captain of our ship.

“Ejigbo has benefited immensely from your fountain of knowledge, wealth of experience, political sagacity and leadership acumen. The remarkable impact you have made in all spheres of human endeavour remains a reference point. This is so that you can continue to make significant contributions to the overall development of our state in particular and our nation, Nigeria in general,” he said”

“A core democrat. Despite losing the APC Governorship primary, he didn’t decamp to another party but accepted defeat and extended hands of friendship to the elected governorship candidate in person of Chief Gboyega Oyetola. We have witnessed crisis-free legislative parliament under your watch compared to your predecessor’s regime. We witnessed crisis under Barrister Adewale Afolabi house leadership (1992-1993), Barrister (Dr) Mojeed Olujinmi Alabi house leadership (1999-2003) and Rafiu Adejare Bello house leadership (2003-2011). Despite stiff opposition in the present House which was also experienced by your predecessors, you were able control and maintain orders and peace. This was possible through your quality leadership and transparent legislative activities.”
