Bimbo Adekanbi: The Quiet Star from Ibadanland Welcomed to Oyo PDP
In every generation, there emerges a man whose brilliance speaks louder than his words. From the heart of Ibadanland comes one such man — Bimbo Adekanbi — a symbol of loyalty, humility, and quiet intelligence.
Those who know him will tell you he carries himself with the grace of good upbringing and the confidence of deep knowledge. I know his roots — his father, his mother, and every member of that noble family. No one within the Arisekola Alao dynasty can deny the bond that once flourished between Bimbo’s father and the late Aare Abdul-Azeez Arisekola Alao.
Bimbo is a true product of Aare Arisekola’s benevolent legacy. Unlike others who bit the hand that once fed them, he has remained grateful, humble, and loyal. Never once has he looked down on anyone introduced to him through Aare Arisekola. That is the true mark of a man raised with integrity.
May the gentle souls of Papa Adekanbi and Aare Arisekola Alao continue to rest in perfect peace. Their good deeds still live through men like Bimbo.
I remember vividly when His Excellency asked me, half-jokingly last year, “Do you know Bimbo?”
I smiled and replied, “Know him? He’s like a younger brother to me — just like Musa and Khadijat Arisekola Alao.”
Those were the golden days at Obafemi Awolowo University — my house in Ife was their home away from home. We shared laughter, meals, and memories that time itself cannot erase.
If you are ever in search of a capable, trustworthy hand to handle a sensitive task, take my word for it — Bimbo Adekanbi will never fail you. Let’s leave sentiments aside: the man is an encyclopedia of wisdom, refined by solid home training and life experience.
And while we’re talking about excellence, if Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State is ever seeking a seasoned banker with a wealth of administrative experience, he should look no further than Prince Eniola Oyeyode Oyesosin. These are the kinds of young, brilliant Nigerians I turn to when I need guidance — men of substance, intellect, and integrity.
