Barrister Babajide Gbolagunte, a prominent legal practitioner and scion of a respected political lineage in Eruwa, Ibarapa axis of Oyo State has extended warm felicitations to Honourable Bimbo Adepoju, a leading figure of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ibarapa Land, on the occasion of his birthday. Gbolagunte lauded Adepoju as a father figure and a dogged fighter whose political journey serves as a profound inspiration.
Honourable Bimbo Adepoju boasts a distinguished career in public service. He has previously served as a Councilor representing Ward 1 in Ibarapa East Local Government, demonstrating his foundational commitment to community representation.

Barrister Gbolagunte, who is the grandson of the late Speaker of the old Oyo State and son of the late Mr. Kunle Gbolagunte (fondly known as KGB), emphasized Adepoju’s deep-rooted connection with the grassroots, describing it as “unparalleled.” This close bond with the people, Gbolagunte noted, is a testament to Adepoju’s authentic leadership.
In his birthday message, Gbolagunte stated, “I wish Daddy, Hon. Bimbo Adepoju, a wonderful birthday celebration and prayed that God almighty blesses him with long life and sound health to enjoy the fruits of his labour.”Furthermore, Gbolagunte urged aspiring leaders to emulate Hon. Adepoju, encouraging them to “tap from the wealth of experience and political wizardry” of seasoned politicians like him. This sentiment underscores the value of mentorship and the transfer of knowledge to the next generation of political actors in the region.
