APM's Ajadi felicitates party leader Olaolu Adepoju at 70 in Oyo

An Allied Peoples Movement leader, Dr Olaolu Adepoju, has turned 70, and the party's senatorial candidate for Oyo Central, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, has sent him warm wishes.

Adepoju marked the milestone on Sunday, 25 October 2026, at his residence in Akobo, Lagelu Local Government Area of Oyo State. Family members, friends, political associates and well-wishers joined him there, according to reports of the celebration.

In his message, Ajadi said reaching 70 is a blessing and thanked God for the grace granted to the celebrant.

“Attaining the age of 70 is a remarkable blessing, and I am delighted to join his family, friends, political associates and well-wishers in celebrating this important milestone,” he said.

The APM candidate prayed for Adepoju's continued good health, long life, peace of mind and greater accomplishments in the years ahead. He also wished him divine protection and favour, and hoped the new chapter of his life would bring love, progress and memorable experiences.

Why it matters in Oyo politics

The birthday is a personal family occasion, but it also puts a spotlight on the APM's presence in Oyo State ahead of future contests. Ajadi is the party's flagbearer for the Oyo Central Senatorial District, and Adepoju is described as a respected leader within the party.

Gatherings like this one are common in Nigerian politics. They bring party figures, associates and supporters together in a relaxed setting, and they often serve as an informal chance to strengthen relationships within a party.

There was no political announcement at the event in the reports reviewed, and no statement from Adepoju himself was included.

What happens next

Ajadi's message wished Adepoju many more years of health, prosperity and fulfilment. For now, the focus for the APM in Oyo remains on building its base and preparing for future elections, with figures like Adepoju celebrated as part of its leadership.
