A Toast To LEOVEST, A Quintessential Philanthropist, Gentle Young Political Icon By Tope Abiola

Ambassador Ola Awodiran, a.k.a. Leovest, is not a man given to flamboyant life. He is unassuming, humble and loves humanity. This is not praise singing. It is basically what humanity should be.

Awodiran loves his people, whether they are in his immediate community of Ijesaland or they are anywhere in Nigeria; he regards his people as his people.

Please, worth celebrating is the Obokun philanthropic ambassador. This is an upcoming political enigma to watch out for, not only in Obokun Local Government Area of Osun State, but also in the entire State of The Living Spring and the large expanse of Nigeria.

Take note that his political vision is different from the conventional politics; his vision is youth empowerment, youth rehabilitation and women rehabilitation. He has added value to a lot of youths and the elder women by giving out empowerment packages without recourse to religious or political affiliations.

No doubt, his ‘Leovest’ Ambassadors is planted and fruiting in all wards in Obokunland.

One sterling feature the Ibokun-born American based Doctor possesses that had made him an icon of recognition within his short adventure into politics is his unvavering humility. The first, this writer had a communication with him was a 7-minute call from American, reeling out his vision for the land gave a conviction that the guy was really as he had been described by many people. His diction and language expressed humility, love and obedience. His discussion was very purposely objective.

Within his short appearance in our political theater in Osun State, he has empowered and rehabilitated hundreds of youths who seemed to be living in despair. Thus, it is the belief of many elders in Obokunland that if Ambassador Awodiran has an opportunity to serve in a political position, he would perform wonders in his youth development vocation.

Recall that Awodiran has given many youths scholarships to enable them achieve educational goals. He has given many assistance to establish trades and helped aged women to stabilise lives.

This is an unassuming gentleman who doesn’t speak about his good deeds. A complete gentleman, Awodiran does not brag, and he has milk of human kindness.

To say the least, this Ibokun-born patriot deserves accolades in compensation of what he has been doing for Obokun Local Government youths in the last few years. He has traversed the professional world and has been giving back to the community that made him.
