Senator Solomon Adeola’s New Year ‘Gift’

Senator Solomon Adeola
Senator Solomon Adeola, better known as Yayi, began 2025 with actions that speak louder than words. Just after a festive celebration with his constituents, he handed employment letters to 14 individuals from Ogun West, placing them in federal civil service roles. For these beneficiaries, it wasn’t just a job—it was a new beginning.
Yayi’s actions are not altogether strange, given his character and such recurring patterns in his political career. Whether through road rehabilitation or educational support, his focus has remained on initiatives that directly impact the lives of his people.
Indeed, as an elder once said, “A good leader doesn’t need a second drumbeat before the crowd dances.” Yayi seems to understand this deeply, so he is always taking action before others even consider the possibility.
However, in recent times, murmurs about his gubernatorial ambition have caused ripples in political circles. Even though Yayi has tactfully avoided direct conversations on the matter, his commitment to developmental projects continues unabated.
For instance, the ongoing rehabilitation of the Imeko-Abeokuta Road, a crucial international route linking Nigeria to the Republic of Benin. This road had long been a sore point for communities relying on it for economic and social activities. Through Yayi’s facilitation, this long-neglected artery is finally receiving the attention it deserves, bringing relief to commuters and boosting local commerce.
Yayi’s efforts also continue to extend to education. His scholarship program for Ogun West indigenes is still about providing financial support to students in public tertiary institutions across Nigeria.
Despite political undercurrents, Yayi’s achievements remain a talking point. From infrastructural projects to social interventions, he has shown an uncommon dedication to improving the lives of his people.
Yayi’s track record leaves many wondering what more he could achieve if given a broader platform. For now, Yayi has chosen to stay focused on the present, delivering on his promises and laying the foundation for progress.
