Today, I join family, friends, associates, and well-wishers in celebrating an exceptional personality, Tolulope Ibi-Oluwatoba (IBOF), the CEO of 101 Resort, Ado-Ekiti — one of the brightest, resourceful, and forward-thinking sons of Odo-Egosi and a worthy pride of Ilupeju-Ekiti.
Although we were not particularly close during our primary and secondary school days, destiny brought us together through student unionism in 2004 when we both contested for the presidency of the Ilupeju Students’ Union. Since then, our relationship has blossomed into a strong bond of friendship, mutual respect, and comradeship.
IBOF is a passionate lover of Ilupeju-Ekiti and a committed advocate of its growth and development. Over the years, he has contributed immensely to the progress of our community and the empowerment of its youths. Through employment opportunities, job placements, financial assistance, mentorship, and invaluable advice, he has positively impacted countless lives.
His leadership qualities were further demonstrated when he served as the Caretaker Chairman of the Ilupeju Youth Development Association (IYDA) in 2018. I had the privilege of serving as his Public Relations Officer during that period. His administration was remarkable, as it strengthened the youth wing, enhanced its visibility, and laid a solid foundation for the successes we all enjoyed during the tenure of Engineer Femi Fagbemi, the immediate past president.
My dear friend, IBOF, on this special day, June 19, I proudly join your numerous supporters and admirers across the globe in celebrating you. On a personal note, you have consistently shown me love, support, and genuine concern. You have never treated any matter concerning me with indifference, and for that, I remain deeply grateful and pledged my unflinching support at all times.
As you mark another year of God’s faithfulness, I pray that the Almighty continues to elevate you, grant you sound health, long life, greater wisdom, and abundant prosperity. May your path continue to shine brighter, and may all your aspirations find fulfillment.
Happy Birthday, my good friend and brother. May your new age bring greater accomplishments, happiness, and divine blessings. Congratulations! I love you dearly.
E-signed:
Comrade Law Ibitoye
National President, Ilupeju Youth Development Association (IYDA)
