[1] He is a member of the Bangladesh Awami League and served as an advisor to his mother, former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, on information and communication technology affairs.

In August 1975, his grandparents and uncles were assassinated during a military coup in Bangladesh; he and his mother, father and aunt survived as they were visiting West Germany.

After returning to Bangladesh in 1981, his mother assumed the presidency of the Awami League and spearheaded the campaign for the restoration of democracy, along with her arch-rival Khaleda Zia.

The 'Minus Two' formula was put in place, not only to get rid of the former prime minister Khaleda Zia, but also Sajeeb Wazed's mother, the then Leader of the Opposition Sheikh Hasina.

[25][26][27] Wazed has also had conflicts with Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus[28] and refused to publicly denounce Islamic extremists for the murder of Bangladeshi atheists,[29] in order to avoid alienating the country's conservative clergy, despite professing himself as a secularist.

[33] In a video posted on his verified Facebook page, Wazed also called on supporters to pay homage to his grandfather, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, on August 15th, the anniversary of his assassination.

[35] After the Awami League returned to power in 2009 with Sheikh Hasina as prime minister for a second time, he made his first public statements after the BDR Mutiny, praising his mother's handling of the crisis.

"This is probably the biggest incident Bangladesh has had since 1975 and our government and the prime minister has handled this compassionately, pragmatically but decisively to bring the situation under control" he said in an interview to the BBC.

[43] His comments were described by Nick Cohen in The Guardian as "pathetic";[44] while Trisha Ahmed, the stepdaughter of slain Avijit Roy, responded that "Bangladesh is powerless; it's corrupt, there is no law and order, and I highly doubt that any justice will come to the murderers.

[45] Later on Mahfuz Anam has admitted to his 'biggest mistake' in journalism, saying it was wrong of him to run corruption stories against Sheikh Hasina during the 2007-8 military-controlled caretaker regime.

[46] Three United Nations rapporteurs in a joint letter on December 22, 2022, accused Sajeeb Wazed of sharing misinformation against them while they pointed out gross human rights abuse in Bangladesh under the Sheikh Hasina regime.

The letter, signed by Aua Baldé, the Chair-Rapporteur of the Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances; Clément Nyaletsossi Voule, the Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association; and Mary Lawlor Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders, read: "By bringing into question the authenticity of the submitted claims about enforced disappearances, the media has reportedly accused Odhikar of wrongly influencing the WGEID’s reports and action [...] the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s son Sajeeb Ahmed Wazed, Advisor to the Prime Minister on Information and Communication Technology, has used his verified Facebook account to challenge the credibility and integrity of the WGEID.
