It was a day of celebration and renewed dedication as Hon. Paul Kehinde Bankole, entrepreneur, media strategist, and political advocate, marked his birthday on Thursday, July 25.
The occasion brought together friends, associates, and political allies who joined to honour the Ada-born leader from Boripe Local Government Area of Osun State. Known for his deep-rooted passion for community service and youth empowerment, Bankole used the moment not just to celebrate but to recommit himself to public service and grassroots development.
An alumnus of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Bankole has long distinguished himself as a student activist turned development-driven leader.

Speaking during the celebration, Bankole expressed gratitude to God and those who have supported his journey, while promising to double down on his efforts to uplift communities in Osun and beyond.
“Each birthday is not just a milestone but a reminder to serve with greater purpose,” he said. “I remain committed to empowering the youth, creating opportunities, and championing development that touches lives at the grassroots.”
Widely regarded as a bridge between the younger generation and leadership, Hon. Kehinde Bankole continues to inspire a new wave of civic responsibility and innovation across Osun State.
