Hon. Tomisin Edu Falade Named Political Game Changer of the Year

Hon. Tomisin Edu Falade, Chief Executive Officer of TEF Foundation and a leading aspirant for the Akure North/Akure South Federal Constituency seat, has once again been recognized for her impact in leadership and service as she was named “Political Game Changer of the Year.”

The prestigious award, presented by The Hope Newspaper (Owena Press), was conferred during a grand ceremony at the Multipurpose Hall, Ijapo Estate, Akure. The event attracted dignitaries from within and outside Ondo State, including political stakeholders, captains of industry, traditional rulers, and members of civil society, all gathered to celebrate her rising influence in politics and community development.

Though unavoidably absent, Hon. Edu was ably represented by Princess Aderonke Oluyede, a close associate and staunch supporter. Members of her campaign media team, led by the Director General of her campaign organization, Hon. Banjo Adesida, were also in attendance. The announcement of her award drew thunderous applause from the audience, underscoring the widespread admiration she enjoys.

Delivering a goodwill message on behalf of the Governor of Ondo State, Hon. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Ebenezer Adeniyan, praised Hon. Edu’s unwavering commitment to good governance. He described her as a source of inspiration to women and youths, commending her humility and boldness in redefining grassroots politics.

This recognition comes shortly after she was honored with the Community Service Award by the APC Akure South Youth Forum. That earlier award highlighted her compassionate philanthropy and tireless contributions to youth empowerment and community development. Taken together, these back-to-back honors reflect not only her growing acceptance among the people but also her increasing relevance in Ondo State politics.

Beyond politics, Hon. Tomisin Edu Falade has established herself as a compassionate philanthropist through the TEF Foundation, which has implemented projects aimed at supporting education, women empowerment, and grassroots welfare. These initiatives have further strengthened her bond with the community and positioned her as a leader who genuinely understands the needs of her people.

With these recognitions and her continued service, Hon. Tomisin Edu Falade is emerging as a trailblazer whose influence is shaping both community development and political participation in Ondo State.
