In a heartwarming celebration of literary brilliance and social impact, Asimiyu Muhideen Abiodun, popularly known as Apostle, has been honored with the prestigious Golden Writer of the Year Award by the Afeez Muhammad Cantona (AMC) Media Foundation.
The event, attended by respected dignitaries and community leaders, marked a significant moment for Apostle, who expressed his surprise and gratitude. “I always believed awards were reserved for politicians and celebrities until this moment,” he shared. “To be nominated, and eventually selected, still feels surreal. It’s a memory I will forever cherish.”
The award recognizes excellence, creativity, consistency, hard work, and dedication to community and human development qualities Apostle has consistently embodied in his writing and public engagement.
The convener of the award, Afeez Muhammad Cantona, is a seasoned broadcaster and the founder of the AMC Foundation. His journey from an aspiring footballer to one of Oyo State’s most celebrated voices in sports media has inspired many, including Apostle. The duo share a bond dating back over three decades.
Today, Cantona stands tall as a household name in sports broadcasting at Success FM, known for his bold voice, brilliance, and deep understanding of the media landscape. His Foundation continues to identify and honor individuals contributing meaningfully to society through media and communication.
In his acceptance, Apostle dedicated the award to the youths of Sasa and the entire Akinyele Local Government Area, reaffirming his passion for youth development and community progress.
