Chairman of the South-West Governors Forum and Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has felicitated his Ondo State counterpart, Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa, on his 60th birthday, describing him as a passionate public officer.
Governor Sanwo-Olu said this in a statement issued on Saturday by his Special Adviser (SA) on Media and Publicity, Mr Gboyega Akosile, praising Aiyedatiwa’s commitment and dedication to serving the people of Ondo State in different capacities.
The governor noted that Governor Aiyedatiwa, a successful businessman, had, since 2011 when he joined partisan politics, made a valuable impact in the lives of many people as well as the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State and Nigeria.
Sanwo-Olu said Aiyedatiwa, who would clock 60 on Sunday, had used his position as Federal Commissioner, who represented Ondo State on the Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) from 2018 to 2019, to attract development to Ondo State and different parts of Nigeria.
The governor further said that Aiyedatiwa’s contributions to the progress, growth and development of Ondo State, formerly as deputy governor, acting governor, and now governor, were a pragmatic testament to his visionary leadership and passion for public service.
“On behalf of my family, the government and the people of Lagos State, I congratulate my dear brother, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, on his 60th birthday.
“Governor Aiyedatiwa’s contributions to the progress, growth and development of Ondo State, formerly as Deputy Governor, Acting Governor, and now Governor, are a pragmatic testament to his visionary leadership and passion for public service.
“As a Deputy Governor, he was a dependable and trusted partner to his boss, the immediate past Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu (SAN), and to date, the developmental strides of their teamwork are noticeable in different areas of endeavour.
“Since he assumed office as Governor in December 2023, the Aiyedatiwa administration has made positive changes in the Sunshine State, impacting lives and delivering the dividends of democracy to the citizens,” Sanwo-Olu stated.
Sanwo-Olu, therefore, wished Governor Aiyedatiwa more years in good health and sound mind on his birthday celebration, and equally prayed that God would give him more wisdom and strength to enable him to render more service to Ondo State.
“On this landmark occasion of Governor Aiyedatiwa’s Diamond Jubilee celebration, I wish him more years in good health and sound mind. I pray that God will give Governor Aiyedatiwa more wisdom and strength to enable him to render more service to Ondo State,” he prayed.
