Dr David Okanlawon Salutes President Tinubu At 72
Dr. David Okanlawon, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State, has congratulated the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on his 72nd birthday.
In a statement released by him, the engineering luminary described President Tinubu as a special and remarkable gift to Nigeria and a man of history whose impact, over the years, has helped shape democracy in the country.
He said President Tinubu’s 72nd birthday offers an opportunity to celebrate a life that is dedicated to the service of the fatherland and humanity in general. This, he said, is in addition to thanking God for giving Nigeria a man of courage as its leader at a critical time like this.
Okanlawon described President Tinubu as an uncommon statesman who sacrificed his all by opting to be an opposition leader at the height of military dictatorship in the country and fighting with other patriotic leaders to ensure the restoration of democracy in Nigeria.
According to Okanlawon, President Tinubu is a consistent politician who understands the game of politics and the intricacies of leadership, which he sees as an opportunity to touch the lives of the masses. This, according to the young philanthropist, has been demonstrated times without number through the president’s actions, policies, and interventions.
He described the nation’s leader as “the most prepared president ever” by his evolution as a freedom fighter, a pro-democracy crusader, a legislator, a governor, and an opposition leader who transited to the presidency to crown a stellar political career.
Hailing the President’s decision not to mark his birthday with any form of celebration this year in view of the mood of the nation, Okanlawon said the President’s action is a reflection of his selflessness and sensitivity as a true leader of the people.
“On behalf of myself, family, and supporters at home and in diasporas, I wish our dear President and valued leader a happy birthday and pray that the years ahead be lived in good health and crowned with greater impact.” Okanlawon submitted.
