Encomium
History was made today (Saturday, November 1,2014) as one of Nigeria’s renowned entertainment guru and media baron, Otunba Adedayo Olumide Adeneye (D-ONE) joined the political race on a mission to rescue and rebuild the future of his people at Odogbolu Constituency of Ogun state, South West Nigeria.
The Entertainment guru and co-founder of Primetime Entertainment who is vying to be a member of the Ogun State House of Assembly under APC has been in consultations with various interest groups in his Odogbolu constituency before now . Otunba Dayo Adeneye who has been frequently summoned by his people at the Odogbolu constituency of Ogun state finally succumbed to the yearnings of thousands of young and old people in the constituency who want him to bring forth his innovative leadership to the development of his people in Ogun state.
D-One who is coming into politics with an over two decade career which cuts across education, broadcasting and business management is seen as one of the biggest assets for the much desired “Change” that has become the lead philosophy of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) party in Ogun state and the entire country.
Acceding to the demand of his people at the weekend during a meeting with leaders of thought and youth in Odogbolu constituency of Ogun state, D-One said, “The invitation is an invitation to service and I am quite humbled to bring back home the entire knowledge I have garnered around the world, to change and lead. To whom much is given, much is equally expected and because my root is here I am ready to sacrifice my all for service.”
Born Adedayo Olumide Adeneye on March 23rd 1960, D-One and his partner and “twin brother” Kehinde (Kenny) Ogungbe revolutionalized the entire Nigerian entertainment and broadcast industry in 1996 at their return from America where they both studied Mass Communication on a master’s level with emphasis on Radio and Television Production while D-One also acquired a BSc in Business Administration. Their innovative ideas and touch of genius with Nigeria’s first twenty four hour radio broadcast with Raypower FM heralded a new all round the clock culture that later became the standard for local radio broadcast in Nigeria.
D-One and his partner, Keke achieved the same culture with Television broadcast as their innovative ideas brought about the massive success of AIT all subsidiaries of DAAR Communications owned by High Chief (Dr.) Raymond Aleogho Dokpesi.
When encomium.ng contacted the suave gentleman in the morning of Saturday, November 1, 2014, he confirmed the development.
