Aside from being the MLA for Thunder Creek and Lumsden-Morse, he was also the Minister of Agriculture, Minister of Enterprise and Innovation, and Provincial Secretary, and was interim leader of the Saskatchewan Party and Leader of the Opposition briefly in 2004. 

Between them, Dr. Sesan Banjo and Dr. Omojomi Banjo have four degrees in dentistry.

In 2009, Dr. Sesan Banjo graduated followed quickly by his brother, Dr. Omojomi Banjo, in 2012 in Nigeria, where they were born and where they practiced a few years before moving to Canada. Having completed graduate studies at the University of Saskatchewan, they then enrolled in the dentistry program at the University of Manitoba, where they graduated a second time in 2020.
