Birthday: The Last Man Standing! Congratulations – Prof Adeolu Akande Hails Asiwaju Tinubu At 70

Birthday: The Last Man Standing! Congratulations – Prof Adeolu Akande Hails Asiwaju Tinubu At 70.

Your annual colloquium, which marks your birthday, offers a virile platform to extol your rare and unique virtues. Nigerians, especially the Yoruba race, are truly proud of you.

Asiwaju, your positive impacts in the fundamental entrenchment of democratic ethos, today, have moulded great men and leaders in the political landscape of Nigeria.

Jagaban, you’re our own Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore. You’re the Mahathir Muhammad of Malaysia. On the Africa Continent, you’re in the mould of the Sage, Obafemi Awolowo, Zik of Africa and Sir Ahmadu Bello.

Your alliance and friendship with President Muhammadu Buhari and other worthy Nigerian political leaders birthed this present APC administration. Through thick and thin, you were persistent and unabashedly resilient to the persecution and repression of the successive PDP administrations till your goal of installing a Progressive government at the federal level was achieved.

Through your political sagacity and wizardry, you have successfully reversed the tide of backwardness in Nigeria and set our Nation on a glorious pedestal of economic growth and international prominence.

Today, Lagos is the commercial hub of Africa and the 5th largest economy in Africa. The foundation you laid in the past has transformed Lagos to the true Centre of Excellence and home of the largest refinery and fertilizer plant in Africa. Eko Atlantic City is an eloquent testimony to your astuteness and visionary leadership.

Your Excellency, the world is celebrating your birthday. My sincere wish for you is that may your lifetime ambition be fulfilled. May God bless you with the wisdom of Solomon, the temerity of Moses, the favour of Jesus Christ and the fortitude of Muhammad throughout your sojourn in life.

Happy birthday to you, sir.
