Famously
known as the “father of the hopeless” in his senatorial district, Kwara South,
this is on account of his generosity to the poor and ordinary people in his
constituency, Senator Simon Sule Ajibola has been re-elected four
times by the people of Kwara South, in Kwara state which is situated in North Central
Nigeria on the account of what he means to them. This veteran politician from
Kwara state is addressed as “the man with a heart for rural development”, the Isapa
town, Ekiti Local Government Area born former federal commissioner of
the Federal Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission is equally
seen as one of the leaders who significantly contributed to the establishment
and sustenance of the ruling PDP in Kwara state since inception in 1998. He
started his political career with his election as a delegate to the national
constitutional conference of the late General
Sani Abacha in 1994. His legislative proposition has equally led to the
creation of two popular local government areas in Kwara; that is Isin and Oke Ero LGAs from Irepodun-Ekiti federal constituency.
His dedication to the PDP also led to his appointment as a member, board of
directors, Lower Niger River Basin
Development Authority. As at last year when the other two senators
representing Kwara North and Kwara Central decamped to the opposition party APC
alongside the Governor of the state and his deputy and majority of the Kwara
political class, it was only Simon Ajibola that stood behind to
fly the PDP flag in Kwara state. On account of this, he is equally addresses as
“The last man standing”. For being loyal to the PDP in the last 15
years, stakeholders in Kwara have asked him to contest for the number one
position next year and also break the jinx of being the first candidate in a
long time to take over the one decade rule of people of Kwara Central (Ilorin)
as governor of the state. He is said to be the most preferred candidate for the
job as his grass root appeal is second to none in the entire Kwara state. Senator
Ajibola is married to one wife in the person of Deaconess Victoria Ajoke Ajibola

How the families organized the events
Not many
knew that the two families who posses intimidating clout in the Nigerian
society spent millions of naira to make the event come to life. A very reliable
source told this blog that both the families of the bride and that of the groom
pulled their clout in different quarters to make the event a reality. While the
bride’s mother Princess Roseline Omolara Osipitan took charge of the Engagement
and Bridal party which took place at The Ark at the blue water zone,
Lekki by 2nd Lekki Round
about on Thursday June 26th, the bride’s father Senator Simon Ajibola was
said to have been in charge of the Reception party which took place at Rubby
Garden Center by KLM 11 Lekki, Lagos. While Princess Osipitan picked
the bill for The Ark, we learnt Senator Ajibola picked the bill for Rubby
Garden Center, two of the major places where big festivities took place
during the event. The two event centers cost the families a whooping sum of Five million naira. Princess
Osipitan and her husband, Prince Bola Osipitan we gathered
also picked the bill for Juju Music maestro turned
Evangelist, Commander Ebenezer Obey’s performance during the engagement and
bridal party. Another band that was engaged by the family is the Awesome
Band led by a young dynamic multi-instrumentalist. The band performed
at both the engagement/bridal party and at the white wedding reception. In order to guarantee enough food for all her
guests to eat and drink, the First Royal Oil founder also got the
services of 10 caterers which include Golden
Pot, Morison Caterers and 8 others to service her guests on Thursday. On
the other hand, the senator equally brought with him some local caterers from
Ilorin led by Kibis Menu of
Plantation Road GRA, Ilorin to cater for guests at the Saturday June 28th
event.

The Venue was designed in Gold
Those who
attended both the bridal party on Thursday June 26th and the wedding
reception on Saturday June 28th were not only arrested by the
artistry of the venue decorator but the sprawling and creative manner in which
the wedding arcade was designed spurred them into some level of aspiration as
the decoration of Wale and Nike’s wedding arcade was up to standard and spoke
volume of the class and panache attached to the event. Right from the entrance of the venue at The Ark and Rubby Garden into the expansive and Air conditionally cooled
marquis at both event places, there was a feel of grandeur in every one that
attended and by the time the party winded up around 9pm on both occasion, not
many wanted to forget the memory of the assemblage of flowers and other
memorable items that graced the venue. The venue was decorated by leading event
decoration company Torge Events & Décor under the leadership of Tayo and
Tosin Odunlami who made statement with both the sitting arrangement and
the cake podium which was drabbed in a form of gold and mercury.

Why Veteran Socialite Bisi Ediomseri
and Alhaja Risikat Amori Odumosu sat for bride’s family
and Alhaja Risikat Amori Odumosu sat for bride’s family
Truth is
that the bride family is one family with lots of great guardians and custodians
of culture and sanctity of their children. This came into play during the
bridal activities of asking and paying of dowry as the groom’s family soon
discovered that taking away Oyenike was never a child’s play as
they needed to go through the blessings of some biologically related elders and
socially related parents as well. Leading the team of family elders that gave Oyenike’s
hand in marriage to Olawale is Prince Adewale Aladesanmi, a prince of
Ado-Ekiti who conducted some special prayers for her before other actions
followed. With him was his daughter, Princess Adedoyin Aladesanmi who
equally granted prayers to a daughter she loves so much. However, when the task
fell on Princess Rose Osipitan and her husband, Prince Bola Osipitan, she
quickly informed her God mother in the person of Ogun born socialite and
veteran clothe merchant, Chief (Mrs.) Biola Ediomseri alias Cash Madam. Another person who also granted good wishes
to the new bride and her husband was Iyalaje of Gutter market and one of
the leading textile merchants in Lagos, Chief
(Mrs.) Risikat Amori Odumosu (RAO) of Ricci Fashion International. Sources
claimed that it was the octogenarian Bisi Ediomseri aka Cash Madam who mentored both Risikat Odumosu and Rose Osipitan in their younger days in
business and as of today, they see her not as their social mother but a great
mentor and role model. That was why she was one of those who presided over the
traditional aspect of the bridal party.

Why Risikat Amori and Rose Osipitan
are very close
are very close
For a very
long time, many have always asked if this top Lagos clothe merchant Risikat
Amori Odumosu of Ricci Fashion
and one of the influential women in Lagos textile and fabric industry is a
sister to the First Royal Oil boss, Princess
Rose Osipitan as they both attend parties together and nothing will Rose
do without bringing Risi’s attention to it likewise Risi will never do
anything without first informing Rose. But the truth came to light
during the wedding bash of Rose Osipitan’s daughter as Risi
and
Rose practically planed the wedding bash together right from shopping
to syndication of invitation letters and sharing of Aso-Ebi and sundry
activities. For a whole month the very rich Amori Odumosu was said to
have made her best friend, Rose Osipitan’s Ologun Agbaje, Victoria Island, Lagos home her
permanent residence as they planned the event together. Their bond of
friendship is said never to be far fetched as they both hold special royal
privileges in the palace of the Onitori of Itori, HRH Oba
Abdulfatai Akamo. While Princess Rose Osipitan is the Yeye
Oba of Itori land, Amori Odumosu who is also into gold
and jewelry is the Iya Afin of Itori Land. Rose
and Risikat
have also come a long way in a friendship that lasted over two decades
and they are really like 5 and 6. Amori
Odumosu is said to be Number 1 friend of Princess
Rosaline Omolara Osipitan and till now, their
friendship is still waxing stronger. They both stormed the stage for Chief
Commander Ebenezer Obey’s melody at the event while other women looked
in great admiration.

How IPMAN Chiefs stole show at the
event
event
When they
stormed the Bridal party of Thursday June 28th, it was like a heavy downpour of
water in a rainy season. But that was not the beginning of their show-stopping
strategy; these big men of the Nigerian oil sector later launched themselves on
the Chief Entertainer, Commander Ebenezer Obey and they in
turn got showers of praises amidst old songs (Oldies) from the grand Juju music
whiz before they dumped the stage. They stole the stage for good three hours to
the displeasure of a top Local Government boss at the event who wanted to get
the attention of the music legend before he left in great annoyance due to the
continuous domination of the Oil boys on the stage. Among the top IPMAN
(Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria) chiefs that came from
the national body (Abuja) is the National President, Elder Chinedu Okoronkwo;
Vice President, Alhaji Abubakar Shetima; national secretary, Alhaji
Danladi Pasali; Assistant National Secretary, Alhaji (Dr.) Hammed Fashola;
National Treasurer, Mr. Bola Adeleke and National auditor, Alhaji Yakubu Dimka.
Others are Alhaji Yakubu Sulaiman, National Public Relations Officer, Dr.
Leo Nkameme, National Organizing Secretary, Chief Joseph Ubinni,
National Financial Secretary, and Chief
Mike Osatuyi who are the immediate past National secretary. We also had Chief Ojugbo, Chief
Chukwudi Obanerri, Alhaji Oloko, Alhaji Umar Baba Kano who
is the Nation legal Adviser and Chief Ezekesili Maduagwuna the chief
whip. They are all guests of bride’s mother, Princess Rose Osipitan.
