Sunshine Anifowoshe: Another great mobiliser


4th April, 2018

Alonge Olufemi Alonso

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.

With or Without Defection, You Have Won - Fayose Tells Oyebanji in Ikere

Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, on Tuesday stirred the political atmosphere in Ikere Ekiti as he openly declared that Governor Biodun Oyebanji has already secured victory in the coming elections, with or without fresh defections into the ruling party. Fayose spoke at the defection event of Engr. Henrich Akomolafe in Ikere Ekiti, where political leaders and stakeholders gathered in a show of unity. Addressing the Governor directly, Fayose said: “Your Excellency, anybody who wants to join this party to genuinely support you is welcome. I will personally encourage them especially those who will not give you a hard time. He, however, made it clear that the Governor’s political strength does not depend on defections. “Without people decamping, the Governor has won his election. Without people decamping, the President also has won his presidential election. We are only respecting ourselves.” Fayose stressed that the overriding interest of political actors in the s...

President Tinubu Affirms Oyebanji’s Second-Term Ticket in Birthday Message, Silences Speculations

December 21, 2025  President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has put to rest lingering beerpalour speculations around the Ekiti State governorship ticket as he openly affirmed that Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji has secured the All Progressives Congress (APC) nomination for a second term. The affirmation came on Saturday in a birthday message issued by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, as Governor Oyebanji marked his 58th birthday. In the congratulatory message, President Tinubu not only celebrated Oyebanji’s personal milestone but also clearly stated that the Ekiti governor “has already secured the All Progressives Congress’ nomination to contest for a second term in office in 2026.” The presidential acknowledgment effectively douses the wave of rumours and political conjectures, making the rounds by followers of a disqualified aspirant over the APC ticket in Ekiti State. President Tinubu, in the message, reflected on Governor Oyebanji’s lo...
