Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu congratulated Chief Lowo Obisesan, the Aare Alasa Balogun of Ibadan land, as he marks his birthday.
In his birthday message to the legal luminary, Adelabu described Obisesan as an extraordinary individual, a beacon of inspiration, and a true pillar of the community who has made a profound impact in the lives of countless individuals, adding that his life is a testament to the power of dedication, resilience, and unwavering commitment to excellence.
The minister praised the former Oyo State Commissioner for Environment as a man of vision who is always interested in improving the quality of life for all citizens.
“Your contributions to the development of Ibadanland are nothing short of extraordinary. You have consistently demonstrated an unparalleled ability to lead with compassion, innovate with purpose, and inspire with your actions. Whether it is through your professional endeavours, your philanthropic initiatives, or your unwavering support for the growth and development of our state, you have proven time and again that you are a force for good.
“Your dedication to uplifting others and your relentless pursuit of progress have left an indelible mark on our collective consciousness,” Adelabu lauded.
Adelabu eulogised Obisesan’s humility and what distinguishes him among peers in the following words:“On this special day, I want to take a moment to reflect on the qualities that make you such a remarkable individual. Your humility, despite your numerous achievements, is truly admirable.
“You have never allowed success to distance you from the people. Instead, you have remained grounded, approachable, and deeply connected to the needs and aspirations of those around you. This rare combination of greatness and humility is what sets you apart and makes you a beloved figure among the people of Ibadan and, by extension, Oyo State.
The minister described Chief Obisesan as someone who has positively impacted his community and people around him. “As we celebrate your birthday, I am reminded of the words of former South African president, the late Nelson Mandela, who once said,‘What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that determines the significance of the life we lead.’ Your life is a living testament to this truth. You have made a profound difference in the lives of so many, and your legacy will continue to inspire others.” Adelabu submitted.
