Further digs revealed, while the children bicker and grumbled underground over the missing fund and handling of their father’s estate, the man more associated with the deceased’s name than the children has being playing host to aspirants that formerly lobby the late Arisekola for support.

Reality check revealed while the emerging ‘Arisekola’ lacks the enormous grass root appeal and loyalty of the late pathfinder, he enjoys influence that goes deep into the presidency.

An association that enhances good rapport with top hierarchy of ruling political party, People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

‘Arisekola’s’ is confirmed to equally posses contacts that cut across party lines.

A peep into his background reveals extra ordinary rapport with Alhaji Atiku Abubakar one of the major influence behind opposition party, All Progressives Congress (APC).

He reportedly forged rapport with the heavy weight politician years back when the latter had a strong hold on the PDP.

The relationship with Atiku backed with the door opening Arisekola identity and ingenuity of the person of Bowale conspired to make him a voice within the corridors of power- and outside.

His foray into journalism with free publication, Street Journal- now transformed into an online platform – only helped to accentuate his growing influence over the years.

Image management (for quiet money men that wished to remain so) and incursion into the Oil Industry opened the door of wealth for him. He used it as a means to ladder into Real Estate.

His political and business clout grew together and remained interwoven.

A development that has placed him into vantage point to inherit the structure of his late mentor.

And in a way, his late mentor paved the way for him, While Bowale grew his contact and influence – the late Arisekola’s children enjoyed sheltered life.

And with Aare’s death, Bowale remains the most visible bearer of the ‘Arisekola’ name and only known walker within the corridor of power.

Two of the late billionaire’s children that came closest to him, do so in a distance of kilometres!

There is Umar Arisekola Alao, a commissioner in the current Oyo state Government and first son, Abdullahi Alao, the celebrated fuel subsidy scammer undergoing prosecution in court.(Incidentally Alao is actually the surname)

While it is clear Wole does not posses the wealth and grass root support enjoyed by the late Arisekola Alao, it is apparent his positioning with the decision makers of the ruling party and main opposition as transformed him favourites of aspirants in either camp.

Direct links with the presidency – and good relationship with top level party men in the ruling PDP in the face of clamour for retake of the southwest for the party has made Wole subject of lobby for those who want to use the platform to achieve their ambition.

Extra ordinary relationship with national play and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar and casual rapport with re election seeking incumbent, Governor Ajimobi has made him also open to intense pressure from those who want to use APC as a spring board to greater heights.

While children of the late Arisekola Alao continue to bicker and grumble underground over missing fund and related disgruntlements -observers believe it is just a matter of time Bowale perfect the take over the deceased’s political structure and includes the wealth and grass root support he currently lacks.
