Other notable attendees included the Special Assistant to Hon. Don, the Supervisory Councillor, Hon. Afeez Azeez, alongside all 12 Ward Youth Leaders in Ibadan North Local Government.

Additional dignitaries such as Hon. Abidemi Sanni, Otunba Olanrewaju Soremekun, Alfa Olalere, and a host of others added prestige and vibrancy to the event, underscoring its significance within the local political and social landscape.

She further emphasized the importance of togetherness and continuous engagement:

"Even beyond public office, my commitment to the good people of Ward 8 remains unwavering. Ramadan teaches us compassion, service, and unity; values I will continue to uphold with all of you.”

The event also featured heartfelt commendations from members of her ward, who praised her consistency and accessibility even after leaving office.

One community leader remarked:

"It is rare to see a former councillor remain this connected to her people. For over two years since leaving office, Hon. Yemisi has continued to check on us, support initiatives, and stay involved in the progress of Ward 8.”

Another attendee added:

"She has shown that leadership is beyond holding a position. Her relationship with the people is genuine, and today’s event is just another example of her dedication to the community.”
