Ooni Ogunwusi who doubles as the permanent chairman of Osun state council of Obas and Co-chairman of National Council of Traditional Rulers of Nigeria(NCTRN) spoke in a press statement released by his Director of Media & Public Affairs, Comrade Moses Olafare congratulating Ogbeni Aregbesola on his 63rd birthday.
"Congratulations from The Arole Oodua Olofin Adimula, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi to the Minister of Interior, Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, Ogbeni Adesoji Rauf Aregbesola on his 63rd Birthday Anniversary.
The statement reads; "Ogbeni Aregbesola as a comrade, you started with student's right activism over four decades ago. As a proponent of democratic rule, you in the 90s participated in the several pro-June 12 struggles which led to the enthronement of civil rule in 1999.
"You have since 1999 lived for the people through your sterling public service performances, first as Commissioner For Works and Infrastructure in Lagos state from 1999 to 2006, followed by your emergence as Governor of the state Osun from 2010 to 2018 and your current position as Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in charge of Interior through which you oversee very sensitive sections of Nigeria's internal security like Immigration, Civil Defense, Fire service, Correctional service among other responsibilities.
"RAUF, you are indeed a great descendant of Oduduwa and a Nigerian patriot with incorruptible Pan Africanism for which you are always worthy to be celebrated. You are an Omoluwabi per excellence, a down-to-earth grassroot politician with incredibly huge followership, a great promoter of our cultural values and heritage, an icon of people oriented public service and an epitome of loyalty."
Ooni, the foremost African monarch and Yoruba's Natural leader prayed for good heath and longevity for Aregbesola who is the immediate past of the state of Osun.
"My dear Ogbeni, may the Almighty Olodumare keep upholding your entire household as you gloriously clock 63 today.
We also pray the rest of your journey on this earth shall be characterized by sound health, meaningful long life and immeasurable prosperity.
Igba odun odun kan
Afon a gbo ko to wo
Happy 63rd Birthday!!!"
Happy birthday sir
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to him. The man is truly someone you can rely on as a friend. See how loyal he is to Tinubu, no matter the situation, because he appreciates that God has used Tinubu to bless him tremendously. Some people get into positions and the first thing they do is turn against those that helped them get there. I personally love the guy. Truly an epitome of loyalty. May God continue to strengthen him and give him longevity, in Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen.
DeleteReally loyal guy. Very modest too. I admire him a lot. I also admire his respect for the Oba and loyalty to Jagaban. A friend indeed. Many more years of service to him, in Jesus Name.
DeleteCongratulations to him. Simplicity personafied.
