Triple Celebration for Wolekanle: A New Role, a Birthday, and a New Home
For Bashorun Akinwale Akinwole, fondly called Wolekanle, life continues to be a journey marked by grace, blessings, and milestones. The Ogbomoso-born philanthropist and grassroots mobiliser is once again in the spotlight for a unique triple celebration that reflects the richness of his life and the favour he continues to enjoy.
This week, Wolekanle resumed office as the newly appointed Chairman of the Oyo State Local Government Service Commission — a significant step in his longstanding commitment to public service. But that’s just the beginning.
Today, he is also marking his 53rd birthday — a personal milestone that coincides with the housewarming of his newly acquired mansion in Ibadan, where friends, family, and political associates are expected to gather in grand celebration.
A man who has experienced the joy of receiving triplets a few years ago, Wolekanle has become a symbol of divine favour — earning him the nickname Baba Mẹ́ta (Father of Three). True to this name, he is once again celebrating three major blessings: a new leadership role, a birthday, and a new home.
As the festivities unfold today in Ibadan, the celebrations will continue on Sunday in Ogbomoso, where a special thanksgiving service is scheduled to express gratitude for all that God has done in his life.
Indeed, for Bashorun Akinwale Akinwole, it’s not just a triple celebration — it’s a testament to a life filled with purpose, achievement, and unwavering faith.
