Shina Peller announced his interest in running for an elective post for the Federal House of Representatives via his Instagram page on 1 June 2018. Following this, Peller declared his intention to run for a seat at the Federal House of Representatives on 12 July 2018, representing Iseyin, Itesiwaju, Kajolaand Iwajowa Federal Constituency in 2019, under the aegis of the All Progressive Congress (APC). This received a historic ebullience as people massively trooped out in support of his thoughtful intention.
According to him, his reason to run was motivated by the desire to take his constituency out of the present developmental barrenness that had consequently weakened the sense of belonging and placed people in avoidable destitution. Moreover, the huge clamor and persuasion he had been receiving from prominent members of his community and beyond, including notable traditional rulers, who had seen the selfless desire and capability in him to provide noble service to his people mounted huge pressure on him to run for public office.
In further recognition of his many contributions to the economic and social development of Nigeria, and Lagos and Oyo States in particular, Peller has had many momentous recognitions from different organizations and groups which includes awards from Oyo State Football Association, National Career Fair, City People Entertainment Awards, Young Achievers Awards, Pacelli School of the Blind, African Leadership Magazine, amongst others.
Also worthy of mention is a recent notable award he received, the Certificate of Congressional Commendation by US Congresswoman Dina Titus in September 2018 at Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
Shina Abiola Peller, along with his wife, Ayobola, was conferred with the chieftaincy titles of Mayegun and Yeye Mayegun of Igbobi-Sabe by the royal father, King Owolabi Adeyemi Adeshina Adeniyi of Igbobi-Sabe community in Yaba on 18 December 2016 for his formidable contributions in nation building.
In August 2017, both him and his wife were also conferred with the chieftaincy titles of Aare Gbobaniyi and Yeye Aare Gbobaniyi of Iseyin respectively, by Oba Abdul Ganiyyu Adekunle Salau, the Aseyin of Iseyin.
