It appears that the growing influence and impact of Chief Fafoluyi Olayinka Michael, popularly known as Solace, the Senior Special Assistant to the Executive Governor of Kwara State on New Media, have begun to unsettle some quarters.

Despite his impressive record of service and commitment to community development, a few disgruntled individuals seem more focused on tarnishing his image than contributing meaningfully to the progress of their people.

Solace has distinguished himself as a young leader who doesn’t just talk about development—he acts. From facilitating and personally supporting several community projects, he has proven that leadership is about service, not self-interest.

Earlier this year alone, he facilitated the installation of dozens of solar-powered streetlights across Rore/Aran-Orin/Ipetu Ward, commissioned a motorized borehole, and flagged off the construction of a modern corps members’ lodge. He also facilitated youth training programs at IVTECH, creating opportunities for empowerment and skill acquisition.

These efforts haven’t gone unnoticed. In recognition of his developmental strides and youth-focused initiatives, Solace was recently honoured with the titles Chief Akeweje of Aran-Orin Kingdom and Aare Bobájiròrò of Oko-Irese.

These titles are more than ceremonial—they are a clear testimony to the acceptance and appreciation of his selfless service to the people.

Rather than waste time and resources sponsoring baseless attacks, those threatened by his rising influence should learn from his example and redirect their energy toward meaningful development.

Chief Fafoluyi Olayinka Michael Solace remains focused and unwavering in his mission to drive progress across Rore/Aran-Orin/Ipetu Ward and Irepodun Local Government at large.

His message is clear: no amount of distraction can stop genuine service and the passion to make a difference.
