Political strategist and Director-General of the Progressives Network for Tinubu, PNT, Olumide Obadele will be honoured at the 13th Anniversary Celebration of D Chronicle Media Ventures on Sunday, 30th August, 2026. The event holds at the OSDPC Multipurpose Event Hall, Ijapo Estate, Akure, Ondo State, at 2:00 PM prompt. The theme for this year is Agenda 2027: Leadership, Accountability, Progress.
D Chronicle said Obadele is being recognised for his leadership in grassroots mobilisation, political education, and for strengthening structures that support progressive governance in Nigeria.
Olumide Obadele serves as Director-General of the Progressives Network for Tinubu, a structured political support platform established to promote, defend, and advance the leadership philosophy and reform agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. In that role, he provides overall strategic direction for the organisation and coordinates national and sub-national networks committed to citizen engagement and democratic values. His leadership has been instrumental in expanding grassroots participation, mobilising diverse support bases, and sustaining advocacy rooted in discipline, unity, and service.
Known for his organisational depth and calm but firm leadership style, Obadele has consistently harmonised interests across political, professional, and community groups. His work reflects a strong belief in inclusive politics that brings youths, professionals, artisans, and community leaders into constructive participation. Through advocacy campaigns, stakeholder engagements, and structured mobilisation, he has contributed to building confidence in reform-oriented governance and deepening public understanding of progressive ideals. His approach emphasises loyalty to principles rather than personalities, institutional growth over personal prominence, and service-driven leadership over political noise.
Peers and stakeholders describe him as a committed organisation-builder focused on political enlightenment and the peaceful advancement of democratic processes. His contributions continue to support the consolidation of progressive political structures and the long-term sustainability of reform-focused governance.
A trained journalist, Obadele combines media practice with public service and community engagement. He also serves in ecclesiastical assignment. He is married to Joyce and they are blessed with three boys.
