Adebayo Ayoade Salami ((); 26 July 1951 – 7 January 2021)[1] was a Nigerian accountant and politician who served as Senator representing the Osun State Central constituency at the start of the Nigerian Fourth Republic running on the Alliance for Democracy (AD) platform.[2]
After taking his seat in the Senate in June 1999, he was then appointed to committees on Public Accounts, Labor (vice-chairman), Power & Steel and Water Resources.[3] In a May 2001 debate over importing beans from Burkina Faso, he was in the minority when he argued that whatever could be done to feed Nigerians and make food affordable to the people should be done.[4]
Salami died in the United States on 7 January 2021.[5]
