As an individual, I am most grateful to have been recognised by His Excellency, Engr. Seyi Makinde, the Executive Governor of Oyo State, to work with him as a Commissioner and member of the State Executive Council.
As for Oyo State — We will continue to protect the peaceful protesters/residents and bring to firm check these unscrupulous elements out there to disrupt and frustrate our efforts.

It doesn't matter what is going on around the world — Your Word is all that I see. I'm marvellously helped of GOD!
Happy Birthday Asiwaju. 28 never looked better! 🥰
We are not Anti-Police, we are Anti-Police Brutality.
If the police fail to defend us, maybe it's time we defend ourselves by demanding justice — This is why I stand with every well meaning Nigerian out there, especially the Youth lending their voice
Apparently, it wasn't only Timi Oyeleso that was detained by the Police SCID Iyaganku, we found out we had three others. On the strength of His Excellency, Gov. Seyi Makinde’s directive, I made sure we secured the bail of our three other brothers.

Yesterday, I resumed office with ardent zeal and renewed conviction — I’m starting out 2021 with the hunger to serve my people selflessly, and conduct myself more meritoriously — So help me GOD!
Toluwalase — Yesterday, Chioma and I welcomed our bundle of joy, our first child — a baby boy.
We bless GOD for a calm delivery and a sound recovery as both of them are doing very well.
I'm so grateful and excited. GOD be praised forever! Rejoice with us. 😍
Today makes it exactly one (1) year I was appointed as Commissioner in Oyo State. GOD be praised forever — This great work we have started will not seize.
Again, I'm grateful to His Excellency, Engr. Seyi Makinde for giving me this opportunity to serve my beloved State.

Don't get it twisted, Ibadan isn't fast becoming like Lagos — rather, Ibadan is turning into what Lagos will eventually aspire to become. We are the pacesetter, the model others emulate — Aji sebi Oyo laari, Oyo kiise bi baba enikan! 👌🏽

Last week, I paid a visit to Oladipo Alayande School of Science, Oke-Bola, the Senior Secondary School I finished from in 2009, as the Labour Prefect and President of the Press Club.
I acknowledge the numerous messages in my DM wishing my Principal the utmost best in the forthcoming Gubernatorial Election in Oyo State.
I also want to use this medium to encourage all the well-meaning Youths in Oyo State and beyond to troop out in your numbers to vote Governor
Serving Oyo State as the youngest Honourable Commissioner was only achievable because the people voted for a responsible, visionary and Youth-loving Governor — our votes counted, and today, we have no regrets!
From The Fakoredes — We say Happy New Year

Reflecting on the past four years, I am thrilled by the remarkable transformation of the workspace at the Oyo State Ministry of Youth and Sports. It all began with a vision to create a space that inspires productivity and fosters a positive work environment.
By the way, my COVID-19 test result came back inconclusive yesterday, I hope to get a confirmation later today or tomorrow.
Thank you for the prayers, love and support. I will give updates as I get them. Continue to follow the COVID-19 Task Force directives please. Stay safe!

Father, a Son's first hero — I've had the privilege to "father" a few persons, but having Osinachi come forth out of my loins is one of my favorite blessings. Being a Dad is completely surreal.
Again, Guys! Don't forget to live life, whether with little or much, because it's so fickle; we are here today, and tomorrow is only guaranteed by the Creator. So, live as much as you can, holding nothing back!
Men may not understand how far you've brought me, they may not understand — I'm marvellously helped by YOU — LORD, THANK YOU.
