Sunshine Anifowoshe: Another great mobiliser


4th April, 2018

Leadership has nothing to do with age, stature or position; but it is all about ability of a man to inspire and lead others successfully.

Since the inception of the expiring tenure of Gov. Peter Ayodele Fayose, I have not for once
come out with a piece in my name to applaud the generosity of this young man who is arguably one of the best three cabinet members of the governor. My latest experience at the newly commissioned restaurant at Osekita Bus Stop, Iworoko-Ekiti is the reason behind this piece.

On Thursday, 29th March, 2018, I was coming from Ipoti-Ekiti with my personal person cum leader; Ojo Ayegbusi (Ayee) who drove his Toyota Camry. On getting to the bus stop, I saw people hailing one man. As usual, I was inquisitive to know what was going on there from afar and I asked my man whether he knew what was going on there but he replied like a typical Nigerian who will answer question with question.

We moved closer and I told him to park so as to have knowledge of what was happening. He parked and I saw an handsome looking man, Sunday Anifowoshe, the Personal Assistant to Gov. Ayodele Fayose on General Administration and Stomach Infrastructure in the midst of the people, smiling and exchanging pleasantries with virtually everyone.

Looking up, I saw "African Kitchen" written boldly in front of where we parked our vehicle and I quickly remembered the then African Chicken at Fajuyi Park, Ado-Ekiti. The place we used to eat plenty of food with token amount.

We entered the place, saw people wining and dining. We were offered seat, food and drinks by Sunshine himself. I sat beside him and that gave me the opportunity to let him know that we were already okay right from where we were coming from.

The Disc Jockey (DJ) was busy blasting with latest songs while some guys were displaying their talents. What a beautiful day!

We were there for 1h:36 minutes and I was not only happy but over joyous with the kind of pleasant comments that people were making about the business oriented man who is the owner of the new restaurant.

The man known as Sunshine is also the owner of one of the most popular breads in Ado-Ekiti. Anybody who passes through Ekiti State University will know how popular Sunshine Bread is.

Before the government, Sunshine was a millionaire and despite his position as a Personal Assistant to the governor, he runs his personal businesses and he is judiciously making use of his office to win more souls for his political party, PDP.

His ability to manage people around him is another sterling quality that makes him to be loved by many people.

His human relations is equal to none, very respectful, humble and kind. Like my friend, Bola Agboola used to say , Sunshine is the real 'Atayese' of Osoko Kingdom, may God continue to bless him.

APC Governorship Aspirant, Atinuke Omolayo, Participates in Delegate Congress in Emure

October 25, 2025 A former governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, Mrs. Atinuke Oluremi Omolayo (née Okeya), who was duly screened and cleared by the party’s National Screening Committee, has demonstrated uncommon party loyalty by stepping down for Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji and actively participating in the delegate congress held today in her Eporo Ward, Emure Local Government Area. Mrs. Omolayo, who was warmly received with an Ọ̀wọ̀ song by jubilant party members, expressed appreciation to her ward for the support they gave her when she initially declared her intention to contest for governor. She explained that her decision to step down for Governor Oyebanji was informed by his wide acceptability across the state, sterling performances in office, and commitment to Ekiti’s growth and development, which she described as derivatives of continuity. While addressing the crowd, Mrs. Omolayo urged party members in Eporo Ward...

Ignore Rumours: APC Confirms Governor Oyebanji’s Name to Be Submitted to INEC on January 16, 2026

…As APC Spokesperson Reiterates Official Candidate List Ahead of Publication The APC Integrity Caucus has moved to dismiss what it describes as a reckless and senseless rumour being circulated by a few individuals posing as party members. The gossip, they said, claims that the party “does not intend to submit” the name of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). In a statement released on Thursday, November 14, 2025, the caucus said such claims are baseless and should be ignored by every well-meaning member of the public. “Since the successful conduct of our governorship primary on October 27 and the ratification by authorised delegates on October 29, some mischief makers have been whispering that the party will not submit Governor Oyebanji’s name to INEC. This is completely false,” the statement read. The caucus emphasized that the APC operates according to a clearly defined timetable, which specifies the dates for submissio...
