Asiwaju Yinka Fasuyi until some ten years ago was a hardly known entity in Ijesa land. Thereafter he suddenly became a phenomenon after he emerged the first Asiwaju of Ilesa.

“As a man thinketh, so is he.” This timeless biblical truth speaks to the essence of a man’s character and behavior.

Glory, Honour and Adoration to God Almighty, from whom all blessings flow. I am incredibly happy to felicitate with my friend, Asiwaju Olayinka Linton Fasuyi on this joyous occasion of his 70th Birthday Anniversary Celebrations.

We give glory to Almighty God whom He has pleased to keep a very remarkable man, a community builder, a lover of God and people, our dear Asiwaju-Asiwaju Yinka Fasuyi to the age of 70.

Happy 70th birthday to an icon of man, a stalwart of the Ijesa people but most importantly to me, my father- in-law.

Olayinka Fasuyi was born into the family of Pa Jacob Olowookere Fasuyi on October 25, 1955. Pa Jacob Olowookere Fasuyi was a textile merchant of note (Osomalo) at Ereja in Ilesa.

Asiwaju Olayinka Fasuyi means a lot, to so many people within a and outside his native Ijesa land and in the global world.

On this momentous occasion of your 70th birthday, we celebrate not just the years, but the immense legacy, indelible impact, and unyielding spirit of a truly extraordinary Ijesa man—Asiwaju Yinka Fasuyi.

I have always admired the Strategic Brilliance and uncommon knack for excellence of Asiwaju Yinka Fasuyi since i met him over 30years ago.

After several casual meetings at different social gatherings especially in Ibadan and Ilesa, I caught the attention of Asiwaju Olayinka Fasuyi about ten years ago.

When a man has packed so much into his 70 years on earth, he cannot but be celebrated. Asiwaju Yinka Fasuyi can be described in so many fashions; leader, entrepreneur, management guru, thinker, traveller, founder, peripatetic teacher and a man of the universe.

I met Asiwaju Yinka Fasuyi at All Souls’ Church, Bodija, Ibadan over two decades ago as I was new in Ibadan and ever since then, he has been a wonderful brother.
