Prominent Ago-Are indigene, Dr. Olufemi A. Adetola, respected opinion moulder, revered Education Consultant, immediate past Southwest Zonal Youth Leader of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), the Aremo-Oba of Ago-Are land, the Akinroogun of Obbo Ile Kingdom, and a successful serial entrepreneur has joined political associates, admirers, and constituents in celebrating the birthday of the Oyo State House of Assembly member representing the constituency, Rt. Hon. Rilwan Saminu Gbadamosi, popularly known as Wale Canada.
In a statement personally signed and made available to journalists in Saki, Dr. Adetola described Wale Canada as “a shining star in Oyo politics, a dependable voice for the people, and a grassroots mobiliser whose service delivery aligns perfectly with the progressive vision of Governor Seyi Makinde.”
According to him, Wale Canada’s tenure has been marked by a refreshing style of representation that blends humility with strategic action — from championing infrastructural projects, advocating for quality education, and facilitating youth empowerment programmes, to ensuring that rural communities are not left behind in the distribution of government opportunities.
“Rt. Hon. Rilwan Saminu Gbadamosi is more than a legislator; he is a builder of bridges, a unifier, and a servant-leader who understands the heartbeat of his people. His synergy with Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration has ensured that dividends of democracy reach our constituency faster, deeper, and more sustainably. Whether in infrastructural renewal, health interventions, agricultural support, or educational advancement, his fingerprints are visible,” Dr. Adetola noted.
He further stated that Oyo State has witnessed unprecedented development under Governor Makinde’s people-centred leadership, and lawmakers like Wale Canada have complemented this vision by ensuring the Assembly remains a strong partner in progress rather than an obstacle to growth.
“As an education consultant and community leader, I particularly commend his interventions in our schools, provision of learning materials, and promotion of initiatives that encourage girl-child education and skills acquisition for our youth. He is truly a product of our dreams and a reflection of the Makinde administration’s success,” Dr. Adetola said.
The Aremo-Oba of Ago-Are prayed for the lawmaker’s continued wisdom, robust health, and greater accomplishments, adding: “On behalf of the good people of Ago-Are and indeed our constituency, I celebrate a friend, a brother, and a worthy representative. May the years ahead bring even greater impact and enduring legacy.”
