There are people whose lives quietly ripple through the world, and then there are those whose presence becomes a source of light for everyone around them. Engr. Olatunji Olusoji, the Asiwaju I of Ayere Kingdom in Ijumu Local Government Area of Kogi State, belongs to the latter. His story is one of faith, courage, and an uncommon devotion to humanity. For those of us who have had the privilege to know him closely, his life remains a daily reminder that true greatness lies in service and humility.
When Olusoji marked his birthday on the 13th of October, it was not just another date on the calendar. It was a celebration of purpose, of a man whose journey has been guided by grace and shaped by the desire to make life better for others.
Fondly called “The Unifier” by his people, he has worked tirelessly to bring peace and understanding to the different communities of Kogi State. His leadership is not the loud, attention-seeking kind. It is quiet, steady, and deeply rooted in his belief that progress is possible when people choose unity over division.
