Yemi Mobolade, a Nigerian immigrant and businessman in the United States, became the first Black mayor in Colorado.

On Tuesday, Mr Mobolade was sworn in at Pioneers Museum to become the mayor of the second-largest city in the western US state of Colorado.

During the inauguration ceremony, the governor of Colorado, Jered Polis, said Mr Mobolade’s story inspired him.

“Somebody who has dedicated his life to making Colorado Springs and America a better place, whose story we can all identify with, who came here, who started businesses,” Mr Polis stated.

Mr Mobolade is a Nigerian immigrant who moved to the country 27 years ago as a student and became a US citizen in 2017.

The father of three owns two restaurants and runs a church in his community.

“I wake up every morning and I think it’s a dream, and then I realise, no, this really happened,” the VOA quoted Mr Mobolade to have said.

He added, “I am a Black leader. I am a Black mayor. I am an immigrant mayor. Why that matters is because there are a lot of young black kids and minority kids that find inspiration and hope in my story.”

Congrats to the new first black Colorado Mayor, Mr Yemi Mobolade

BolawoMayor

NL tribal supremacists, lunch is set.

Violence in this thread will start in 1.2.3…

Congrats to him. Governments in Nigeria should take a cue from this and make political appointments based on merit, integrity, capacity and qualification. One devoid of ethnicity, religion and state of origin as we have it.

Lol... My lagos, my lagos... Una see ur lives..

Awesome! Why tribalism keeps holding my country backyard

Nice

Congratulations to him.

Ok

South Park will make a video of him soon

The rate of cyberfraud in Colorado is about to spike.

Congrats to him...more grease to his elbow
He and his family are lucky.



But y'all sit back and relax and watch out for some hungry frustrated coneheaded structures and sophisticated maarrraans about to fouoool themselves and turn this thread into something else

They never told him to go back to his country ooo

Yoruba always leads in greatness
Infact Nigerians are the greatest people on earth....minus those troublesome ones that always cry like babies upandan

Good to hear...

I will like to know for how long he abused the people of Colorado and their historical institutions before he decided to run for Mayor and eventually won like one Gbadebo Gbadeghesin...

If it is in Nigeria, his kinsmen will remind others that they dont have a right to vote in their state.

Colorado Ronu ooh don't use another person from somewhere else because they will take over your land
