Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has congratulated his wife, Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, on her 58th birthday, describing her as a reliable and dependable partner in the Greater Lagos development agenda.
Governor Sanwo-Olu said this on Tuesday in a statement issued by his Special Adviser (SA) on Media and Publicity, Mr Gboyega Akosile, and further described the Chairman of the Committee of Wives of Lagos State Officials (COWLSO), who will turn 58 tomorrow, January 8, as a committed prayer warrior, a caring, loving and devoted wife and mother, a strong pillar, and a trusted partner of many decades.
The governor also described his wife, who he said was worthy of celebration, as a compassionate woman who had touched many lives, first as a medical practitioner and now as First Lady of Lagos State, adding that as a courageous, kind-hearted, and strong pillar of support, she had contributed positively towards the delivery of dividends of democracy to millions of Lagos residents through the THEMES+ development agenda of his administration.
“My jewel of inestimable values has been a major pillar of my success, standing by me all through the journey for several decades. We’ve sojourned together in the turbulent public space and standing side by side, working for the good people of Lagos State.
“Ibijoke is worth celebrating for being a God-fearing and kind-hearted woman, a good companion, a caring and loving wife and mother. She is a passionate Christian, a prayer warrior, and a lover of children.
“My dear wife of almost three decades has complemented the roles that God has given us now with all sense of dignity, dedication, and hard work. She has played critical roles through her pet projects and people-orientated programmes sponsored by her office and COWLSO in ensuring that good governance and dividends of democracy are delivered to Lagos residents, particularly women and children,” the governor said.
“On behalf of my children, family, the government, and the entire people of Lagos State, I celebrate my trusted and reliable partner and lifetime partner, Dr. Claudiana Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, on her 58th birthday.
“On this occasion of her 58th birthday, I thank God for her life and appreciate her for all the support, time, sacrifice, and contributions to the growth and development of Lagos State in different sectors.
“I also use this auspicious occasion to appreciate my darling wife for her remarkable contributions to our family, the medical profession, Lagos State, and humanity in general. I wish her good health and more prosperous and impactful years ahead,” he added.
