Mrs. Oyetola: Using Power and Influence positively
By Ismail Omipidan
First Lady, Osun State, Hajia Kafayat Olaitan Oyetola
Historically, there are several examples around the world of what ignoble or positive difference women around power can make.
Hajia Kafayat Olaitan Oyetola, the First Lady of Osun and Chairperson, Southern Governors Wives’ Forum, is one virtuous woman that belong to the clan of women, who use power and influence, positively.
Whenever Mr. Governor plays host to guests, who perhaps may have to take lunch, dinner and even breakfast, our First Lady personally supervises the kitchen. She does not believe that abandoning the kitchen to the cooks is how to announce that one has arrived politically. Our First Lady not only cooks, she also directs the kitchen affairs by phone even when she is away, all in a bid to ensure all is well.
In spite of doing all of the above, she still devotes time to her Pet Project, the Ilerioluwa Development Initiative, an outreach that has impacted positively on the lives of many, especially women and children in Osun and beyond. For all these and many more, I celebrate our mummy, the First Lady of Osun, today.

Today is not her birthday, I chose to celebrate her today because I asked for a photo ups with her and she obliged without hesitation. Her humility is infectious and Osun could not have asked for a better First Lady.
God bless you, ma.
