In Leadership, Asiwaju is unparalleled as he remains epitome of leadership by example!
In Transparency, Asiwaju is a Torch-Bearer for Integrity and Openness in All his Public Conduct!
In Accountability and Judicious Application of Public Resources, Asiwaju Yinka Fasuyi remains unrivalled!
No wonder not a few have been nursing the fears of whether Ijesaland would be able to raise another Asiwaju Of Ijesaland of similar pedigree if the incumbent Asiwaju Yinka Fasuyi lives till old age and passes on.
His Midas touch in bringing together all the over 150 Traditional Rulers in Ijesaland still marvels not a few.
His Masterpiece Public Relations expertise in relating across all spheres, cadres, and interests in Ijesaland is amazing.
His Intellectual Capacity to envision, conceive, articulate, present, and execute Community-Driven Development Projects without record of a single failure is awesome.
His Project Marketing and Fund Mobilisation Strategy is not only second to none but will also find recognition in the Guinness Book of Records.
His Supernatural Energy to work an average of 30hours within a 24-hour day is a talk around town that most people have found difficult to decipher.
His Motive and Objective for always pursuing development agenda where neither him or his immediate family are beneficiaries still marvel the populace..
This is Asiwaju Olayinka Fasuyi who has been described in many quarters even far beyond Ijesaland as a rare gift to humanity.
No wonder the Juju Maestro and Legend, Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey Fabiyi described in his Special Album waxed for Asiwaju Olayinka Fasuyi few years ago as an uncommon asset to mankind and as the first Asiwaju that would be combining the rare gift being a Community Modernizer with being a high class fashionista whose dress culture is not seen anywhere in the world as he attested to in another Special Album waxed for Asiwaju Olayinka Fasuyi early this year.
In another clime, the physiologists would be employed to study the underlying philosophy of the making of a person of Asiwaju Yinka Fasuyi in order for the mankind to benefit from generation to generation on this unique individual.
Perhaps the snippet of the news emanating from some of the First Class Monarchs in Yorubaland praying to God to endow their respective communities with someone like the Asiwaju Of Ijesaland is after all justified. I pray may the Lord answer their prayers for the betterment of humanity especially in Nigeria.
It is the same first Asiwaju of Ijesaland, Asiwaju Olayinka Fasuyi that turns 69 years old today.

The First publication of KAKAKIOODUA on the first Asiwaju of Ijesaland was during the IBEDC AND IJESALAND ORDEAL: on 8th April 2019 after he had successfully conveyed and organized, with the consent of His Imperial Majesty, the first and second Unity Meetings of all Traditional Rulers in Ijesaland at Ifewara and Ijebu-jesa respectively in 2019, since he was installed on Saturday, 22nd October, 2016; That was when Asiwaju Yinka Fasuyi came with a proposal that attracted us at KAKAKIOODUA when he wanted Ijesa Roots Club to Coordinate a Press Conference. And we followed his activities that eventually led to an amicable resolution of the crisis.
Some residents of Ilesa in Osun State, staged a protest on major streets of the town.

Continuous Payment of WAEC Fees for Students of Public Secondary Schools in the six LGAs of Ijesaland
Asiwaju Yinka Fasuyi Foundation (AYFF), can be mentioned as a change maker who believes that the more Ijesa children are educated, the more they grow to become responsible citizens who can contribute positively to growth and development of Ijesaland.
Asiwaju Yinka Fasuyi Foundation (a foundation fully owned and funded by the duo) has continued to pay the WAEC Fees of Students from Secondary Schools from the six (6) LGAs in Ijesaland. Paid for 100 Students in 2017/2018; 200 Students in 2018/2019; 250 Students in 2019/2020; 310 Students in 2020/2021; 310 Students in 2021/2022; and set to pay for 435 Students in 2022/2023.
Their passion for scholastic progression among the young people is monumental. Even where some highly placed individuals had erroneously thought that the Asiwaju had embarked on this humanitarian mission for future political objective and ambition, Asiwaju Yinka Fasuyi has successfully proved such minds wrong by staying apolitical in his six years in office to prove a point that Asiwaju Yinka Fasuyi is fond of sermonizing that ‘You do not necessarily have to be in politics to serve your community!’ And neither should anyone desire a gain to offer sustainable selfless services to his community!
