The Oyo State House of Assembly has passed a motion to honour and celebrate veteran Yoruba actor, Chief Lere Paimo, popularly known as ‘Eda Onile Ola’, for his outstanding contributions to the promotion of Yoruba culture through theater.

The Assembly made the call on Wednesday at its Yoruba plenary session while deliberating on a motion presented by the majority leader, Hon. Sanjo Adedoyin (Ogbomoso South).

The motion urged the state government to recognise and honour the Octogenarian Yoruba actor, Chief Lere Paimo, Eda Onile-Ola, who is among the oldest in the industry.

It further called on the government to honour other veteran actors who have made an impact in the theatre industry.

While highlighting Eda Onile-Ola’s remarkable career and his role in showcasing Yoruba culture and values through his performances, the House noted that Chief Paimo’s dedication to the arts has helped to promote the rich cultural heritage of the Yoruba people.

Hon. Adedoyin in the motion commended Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration for his commitment to sustaining and promoting Yoruba culture, citing various cultural initiatives spearheaded by the government.

He noted that while efforts have been made in festivals and tourism development, traditional Yoruba theatre, once a stronghold of cultural storytelling, is gradually fading.

The Motion also urged the state government to support the production of traditional Yoruba plays that promote wisdom and good character, and ensure their integration into cultural tourism.

It equally plans to hold a special plenary in honour of the theatre icon, and calls for the funding of documentaries and exhibitions showcasing Chief Lere Paimo’s work.

“Yoruba culture is rich, and theatre is one of our strongest mediums to educate, entertain, and preserve our traditions. It is essential to recognise and support those who have dedicated their lives to ensuring these values do not disappear, one of them is Chief Lere Paimo, popularly called Eda Onile-Ola”, Adedoyin added.

He further lamented that modern film productions have lost touch with Yoruba ethics, often promoting foreign influences instead of showcasing the moral values embedded in indigenous Yoruba storytelling.

Hon. Adedoyin emphasised the importance of preserving theatre as a medium for educating younger generations on Yoruba values, saying, “Our ancestors taught us through storytelling, and legends like Chief Lere Paimo have carried this torch. We must support them and ensure that Yoruba cultural expressions continue to thrive.”

The Oyo State Speaker, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin acknowledged the contributions of Yoruba actors and assured that the Assembly would take necessary steps to ensure the implementation of the resolutions contained in the motion.
