On this occasion of Simi Olusola’s first posthumous birthday, I join family, friends, and well-wishers in celebrating the life and legacy of a truly remarkable woman.
Simi was a force for good, whose influence and contributions to her community will forever shine as a beacon of light for all young people—especially young women—seeking models of courage, resilience, and diligence in politics and governance.
Her commitment to public service was evident in her bold decision to run for a seat in the Ekiti State House of Assembly, where she displayed an unwavering passion to drive positive change. Though she may no longer be with us, her legacy endures, inspiring countless others to embrace leadership and service.
As we honour her today, may her enduring impact continue to guide and inspire future generations.
Rep. Akin Rotimi, Jr.
