A statement issued on Sunday by Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President (Media & Publicity), said, in particular, the President joined Soyode’s son-in-law, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, family, close friends and associates to felicitate with the esteemed octogenarian.

The President used the occasion to celebrate “a worthy patriot and a man of honour, with strong commitment to family values, education and Nigeria’s socio-economic development.”
