OMOWANI AUTHENTIC CONGRATULATES AJE IYA, ACKNOWLEDGES NEW SOUTH-WEST ADC LEADERSHIP
Hon. Saheed Olawale Olunlade, popularly known as Omowani Authentic, has extended warm congratulations to Hon. Kafilat Olayiwola Omolabake, popularly called Aje Iya, on her election as the National Deputy Woman Leader of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The development is seen as a major boost for the party, particularly its women’s wing, as Omolabake’s emergence underscores the increasing recognition of women in key leadership positions at the national level.
Omowani Authentic also took time to commend all newly elected South-West leadership and acknowledged ADC officers serving at the national level. Among those recognized are Akinbolawale Omole, National Vice Chairman; Captain Tunji Shelle, National Director, Communication and Programmes; Professor Bode Ayorinde, Diversity and Inclusion Secretary; Fabiyi Oladimeji, Deputy National Financial Secretary; Olufemi Adeleye, Deputy Coordinator, Diaspora; and Mrs. Yidiat Omolara Oseni, Assistant National Organising Secretary.
Political observers say Omolabake’s rise reflects her resilience, grassroots mobilization strength, and commitment to party growth. Her leadership is expected to energize ADC women across the country and further consolidate the party’s position in the South-West.
Omowani Authentic’s endorsement is also interpreted as a clear signal of unity and support within the party, emphasizing the need for members to rally behind both national and regional leadership for the party to achieve its strategic objectives.
With the new leadership in place, ADC is positioned for stronger grassroots engagement, broader acceptance, and heightened visibility ahead of forthcoming political contests. Analysts note that such strategic alignments could strengthen the party’s influence in the region, especially as it prepares for the 2027 elections.
