According to the Ibadan North Local Government Chairman, the celebrant, fondly called “Wolekanle,” has over the years distinguished himself as a dependable pillar of support, a man of humility, generosity and uncommon kindness whose influence continues to inspire admiration across Oyo State and beyond.
