*The Man YAYI: His Personality; His Politics, His Humanity*

*BY OLAJIDE AMUSAN

*Everyman, regardless of circumstances of birth, is here to tell, create or be part of history. In that history, everyman is also judged and assessed by what he does, what he says about himself and what people say about him.*

Distinguished Senator (Aremo) Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, FCA, representing the good people of Ogun West Senatorial District at the Nigerian Senate, Chairman, Senate Committee on Appropriations, in the estimations of the people, is a man of unique history.

A history anchored on divine destiny, edified by a special calling, shaped by strong convictions, propelled by personal commitment, driven by self discipline, character and integrity. A Chattered Accountant of impeccable pedigree, Adeola, before veering into Nigerian politics, has proved his professional mettle in the private sector, rising to the pinnacle of his career as Chief Accountant of the Guardian Newspaper.
Heavens help those who help themselves.

Olamilekan Adeola is a man of humble background, born and brought up by devout Christian parents, baptised and schooled in the family ethos of OMOLUABI.

Armed with prerequisite education, Adeola has, through deep commitment to personal development, rose from the shadows of his humble beginnings to the present enviable status of successful politician and statesman.

Yayi, as fondly called, is just like any other man. Not born with the proverbial silver spoon, but his life trajectory reflects and projects a man created and sent to this terrestrial plane for a purpose.

This humble and courageous son of Ilaro-Yewa (partenal) and Abeokuta (maternal) Ogun State, is today a very consummate politician, a pragmatic statesman, and highly connected personality who bestrides the world around him like a colossus.

Yayi’s politics is designed for just one purpose – service to the people. His people- centric policies and initiatives have brought to, and etched him in the consciousness of the people.

As one of Nigeria’s most popular national legislators, Adeola, in the state and national assemblies, has created unbroken and unmatched records of excellent legislative performance.

In Lagos State, both as House of Representatives (Alimosho Federal Constituency and Senator representing Lagos West Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Aremo Yewaland, Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, popularly called YAYI, has left an indelible mark in the sands of time.

That today, Distinguished Senator Solomon Adeola is presumed as one of the most popular senators in Nigeria did not happen by accident.
A sought-after Senator, who commands the respect and attention of others, has simply earned that dignified accolade with hard work. Generous beyond measure, the Gbobaniyi of Ilaro-Yewa enjoys the comradaire of his colleagues, in the Nigeria’s 10th Senate, not only because of his deep pockets but, most importantly, his ability to connect and build bridges of understanding across party lines.

His transition from Lagos West to Ogun West in 2023 was a call to duty. A call that he gladly obeyed without hesitation.

Not driven by selfish ambition, but propelled by the desire to offer selfless service the people of his native land-Yewa-Awori, and by extension, Ogun State, Senator Adeola, adequately prepared for the huge task ahead, offered himself for service.

Armed with requisite experience, competence and capability, enraptured by the love, support and warm reception of his people, YAYI had won the 2023 Ogun West Senatorial District election, thus setting the stage for the unprecedented human-capacity and infrastructural development in Ogun West and beyond.

Today, Senator Adeola’s homecoming has been a huge blessing to the people of his native land, Yewa and his state of origin, Ogun.
Yayi’s sense of urgency to stamp out poverty and underdevelopment in Ogun West Senatorial District, quite resonotaes with his love for humanity. He is one politician, whose commitment to liberating the underprivileged from the yoke of poverty and squalor, has been very consistent with his political philosophy.

Through numerous empowerment projects across Ogunwest and beyond, lives of the poor and underprivileged have been widely touched and positively impacted. Massive investment in education through annual student bursary and scholarships schemes, well coordinated ICT/Digital trainings, targeted at the youth, reflects his passion for education and skills acquisition as tools for self employment and poverty eradication.

The unprecedented folower-ship and ever growing army of Yayi’s supporters both physically and across social media is an eloquent testimony of his acceptability across political divides. His antecedents, character and performance have continued to endear him to the people.

Adeola, today, has become, not just a political phenomenon but a movement, whose popularity and acceptability is gaining momentum and growing in intensity every passing day. The clamouring, across the state, for him to contest the 2027 Ogun governorship election is electrifying.

If the voice of the people is the voice of God, then, it is safe to conclude that, if Ogun governorship election holds today, Distinguished Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, FCA, will win record a landslide victory.

President Tinubu described the development as a significant step for Nigeria’s growing influence in global communications.

 

He noted that Mr Ogra’s emergence as the only representative from West Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa on the Executive Committee reflects the depth of Nigerian expertise and the contribution of a new generation of young Nigerian professionals to global industry standards.

 

Mr Ogra was elected to the Executive Committee on the platform of the Advertisers Association of Nigeria (ADVAN), underscoring the role of Nigeria’s organised advertising and marketing industry in shaping representation at the global level.

 

The WFA is the leading global body for advertisers, representing over 150 multinational and Fortune 500 companies, alongside national advertiser associations across more than 60 countries, with a combined annual marketing spend running into hundreds of billions of dollars. Its Executive Committee is the organisation’s highest decision-making body, responsible for setting priorities and guiding global policy on responsible advertising, media transparency, sustainability, and the evolution of digital ecosystems.

 

President Tinubu noted that Mr Ogra’s election is both a personal distinction and a strategic opportunity for Nigeria and the African continent, placing them at the centre of global conversations on brand trust, platform accountability, innovation and the future of marketing and communications.

 

The President commended Mr Ogra, who also serves as Vice President of ADVAN, for his sustained contributions to strengthening Nigeria’s marketing and communications ecosystem, drawing on a career spanning leadership roles across the banking, manufacturing, and public sectors.

 

“Otega’s election reflects the growing recognition of Nigerian expertise and affirms our capacity to contribute meaningfully to the frameworks shaping global markets,” the President said.

 

President Tinubu added that the achievement aligns with his administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda, particularly in advancing the creative economy, strengthening digital governance, and positioning Nigeria as a competitive hub for innovation and enterprise.

 

Josh Faulks, CEO of the Australian advertiser association (AANA), and Simon Michaelides, Director General of the UK advertiser association (ISBA), also join the leadership team.

 

Current members of the executive committee, David Wheldon, President and Philip Myers, Deputy President, who is also the Chief Institutional Affairs and Corporate Communications Officer at Ferrero, continue in their current roles, as do all regional vice presidents.

Hold Peter Okoye Responsible If Any Harm Comes To Our Member – NASRE Fires Back At Singer

 

In a press statement issued on April 20, 2026, NASRE’s leadership, led by Comrade Femi Oyewale, expressed concern over the incident reportedly occurring at the Ikoyi High Court during proceedings in the ongoing legal dispute involving P-Square and their elder brother, Jude Okoye.

 

 

NASRE views the alleged statement as inappropriate and unacceptable, stating that any language suggesting intimidation against a journalist performing lawful duties raises serious concerns about press freedom, safety, and professional ethics.

 

 

The association has therefore called on Mr Peter Okoye to retract the alleged statement and issue a public apology to Mr Bayo Adetu, while also urging all parties involved in the ongoing legal matter to conduct themselves with restraint, respect, and strict adherence to the rule of law.

Read the statement below:

PRESS STATEMENT
For Immediate Release

NASRE RAISES ALARM OVER ALLEGED THREAT BY PETER OKOYE (MR P) AGAINST BAYO ADETU IN COURT, WARNS OF CONSEQUENCES

The leadership of the Nigerian Association of Social and Resourceful Editors (NASRE), led by Comrade Femi Oyewale, expresses concern over an alleged threat issued by popular Afrobeat artist Peter Okoye, widely known as Mr P, against journalist and NASRE Directorate member, Mr Bayo Adetu.

The incident reportedly occurred at the Ikoyi High Court during proceedings in the ongoing legal dispute involving the music duo P-Square and their elder brother, Jude Okoye. Eyewitnesses present in court stated that Mr Peter Okoye drew the attention of Justice Alexander Owoeye to Mr Adetu’s presence, noting that he was formerly P-Square’s publicist but now works with his brothers. The remark reportedly generated reactions in the courtroom.

It is further alleged that after the court session, Mr Peter Okoye confronted Mr Adetu in the presence of others and said, “You, Bayo, I will set you up.”

NASRE views this alleged statement as inappropriate and unacceptable. Any language suggesting harm or intimidation directed at a journalist performing lawful duties raises serious concerns regarding press freedom, safety, and professional ethics.

We state unequivocally that should anything happen to Mr Bayo Adetu or any member of his family, Mr Peter Okoye will be held accountable. Such statements, when directed at a media professional, are taken with utmost seriousness.

NASRE will not tolerate any form of intimidation, harassment, or threat against its members. We are fully prepared to activate all lawful media and legal channels to protect our members and safeguard the integrity of the profession. Mr Peter Okoye must be aware that utterances of this nature carry consequences and he will be held responsible for any outcome arising from this matter.

We therefore call on Mr Peter Okoye to retract the alleged statement and issue a public apology to Mr Bayo Adetu. We also urge all parties involved in the ongoing matter to conduct themselves with restraint, respect, and strict adherence to the rule of law.

The safety of journalists remains paramount, and the media will not be silenced.
