For enterprising businessman and politician, Hon. Olumide Araoyinbo, it was yet another date with history recently, when he was installed as the Basorun Onisowo of Ibadanland.
In his honour, his friends and business associates stormed the ancient city of Ibadan to share in his joy, leaving behind sweet stories that will be told for long.
Araoyinbo, a businessman, humanist, security expert, entrepreneur, investor, community leader, and politician of repute, is the President of Akoko Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines, Industry, Manufacturing and Agriculture, AKOCCIMA.
His foray into the murky waters of politics, he once revealed, was informed by his experience as a child and the determination to give succour to the poor.
For Araoyinbo, who is also Otunba Ogbagba-Agbotewole of Idimu-land, Lagos, Olu-Omo of Irun Akoko, and Otunba-Bobagunwa of Ogbagi-Akoko, among several others, the honour didn’t just come on a platter; instead, they are all for his kindness and impactful contributions to the society.
Araoyinbo, a multiple award-winner, served as the Chairman of a strategic House Committee on Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, and other committees like Transport and Utilities, Sports, Commerce and Industry, Natural Resources, and the Finance and Appropriation.
