In a glowing tribute released on Wednesday, Dr. Kareem lauded Comrade Olaitan for his lifelong commitment to human rights, ethical leadership, and unity, especially within the Nigeria-Australia diaspora community, where he is widely respected as an elder statesman.
"Your passion for media as a tool for advancing values, ethics, and societal development has shaped important conversations and guided many toward principled action," AKK wrote. "Your life is a model of selfless service, and your contributions continue to light the path for many."
The tribute also reflected on the camaraderie between the two, with Dr. Kareem expressing personal gratitude for Comrade Olaitan’s unwavering support — particularly highlighting Olaitan's role as a panelist during a recent town hall engagement in Australia. According to AKK, Olaitan’s insight and eloquence made the event "superb and memorable for all involved."
"As a mentor and ally, you have shown what it means to stand firmly for human rights and good governance. Your endorsement and active participation have strengthened my resolve," he added.
Dr. Kareem concluded the tribute with heartfelt prayers for continued health and vitality for Comrade Olaitan, calling him a "pillar and beacon for ethical progress" and expressing hope that his influence will continue to grow.
The tribute, signed under his campaign banners — AKK 2027, Aseyori ni tiwa, Ajose Ajoje, and A Task That Must Be Done — further cements Dr. Kareem’s public alignment with progressive voices and respected figures within and outside Nigeria.
As political activities begin to heat up ahead of the 2027 elections, this gesture adds to the growing public profile of Dr. Kareem, who continues to engage with the diaspora and grassroots stakeholders alike.
