IWC History

In 2006, seeing the steady progress being made by Ikale Progressive Association in NY/NJ, Durojaye Odimayo Akindutire, who was then the president of the “Egbe”, was mandated to reach out to other Ikales in North America on the formation of an all-encompassing Ikale Association. The initial breakthrough came when some Ikales were invited to attend the end of the year gathering of the Egbe in New York. Prince Rinde Akinsola and Dr. Salewa Olafioye honored the invitation. These two gentlemen sat through the night with Akindutire to discuss the birth of IWC. This was how Ikale World Congress (IWC) began.

Legacy of late Chief Dayo Aiyebo (IWC President)

Late Chief Ekudayo Aiyebo legacy cannot be easily forgotten in the history of Ikale World Congress. He is such a courageous leader who serves with humility, love and compassion. Unfortunately, he couldn’t finish his tenure before he passed on to glory in December 2022. He invested so much time and effort in understanding the aspirations, challenges, and personal development of each member of IWC. He actively cultivates an atmosphere of peace and tranquility within the organization, makes phone calls across all the members to discuss the importance of unity, peace and progress of the organization. He discourages conflict and seek resolutions through dialogue, understanding, and compromise. As a peace ambassador, he initiated a financial donation to Ikale members who experience brutality during the Ago Alaye farm crises. He served as the Chairman Ikale Security Observers Network. Chief and his executives achieved the sponsorship of the rehabilitation of the federal high court in Okitipupa, Ondo State.
Chief Aiyebo visited all the monarch in Ikale, on behalf of Ikale world congress to promote unity and peace among others. He was able to meet with the Abodi of Ikale land, HRM Oba George Babatunde Faduyile, Jegun Idepe Okitipupa, HRM, Oba Michael Adetoye, Rebuja of Osooro, HRM, Oba Gbadebo Bajowa, Majuwa of Ilutitun, HRH, Oba Earnest Idepefo, and a host of others.
Chief Aiyebo leadership style creates a lasting legacy built on compassion, empathy, and a genuine commitment to the betterment of individuals and the broader Ikale community.
