Rotimi Adebari (born 1964 in Okeodan, Ogun State) is a Nigerian-born Irish politician. He was elected as the first black mayor in Ireland. He fled Nigeria in 2000, and made claim for asylum on the grounds of religious persecution, but his application was rejected due to insufficient evidence he had personally suffered persecution. He gained residency in Ireland under the Irish Born Child scheme (since repealed). He and his family settled in County Laois. In 2004, he was elected as a city councillor in local elections. In June 2007 he was elected as mayor of Portlaoise Town Council (9 members), with support from Fine Gael (2 seats) and Sinn Féin (1 seat). He completed his master's degree in intercultural studies at Dublin City University [img]http://1.bp..com/_xHdqWGaSPFs/R0hwvRwltTI/AAAAAAAAAAM/WK7quLOFy8Q/s320/irishblackmayorweb.jpg[/img] 3 Likes |
