The deputy governor of Ondo state, Olayide Adelami, has claimed the state has been largely progressive and flourishing in every sector because of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s love for the downtrodden and the lowly.
Adelami in a statement he personally signed to commemorate Aiyedatiwa’s 60 years birthday, described the governor as a man who has been anointed and well prepared for the position he currently occupies.
The statement reads; “I would like to extend my heartfelt felicitation to my principal and leader on the occasion of 60th anniversary of his birth.
“Your Excellency, through your essential authenticity, disarming wit and unwavering commitment to governance, you have demonstrated that it is, indeed, possible to be great, yet humble, to be powerful, yet amiable, polite but firm.
“It is worthy of mention that the aura of calmness; of thoughtfulness; and of elegance with which you have conducted yourself over the last six decades, even in the face of adversity, has earned you the sobriquet ‘Odirorun’
“Your names, which typify the grace of God, do not only pave the way for you but reflect in the ways you pilot the affairs of the state. You have shown, countless times, that you are a governor for all.
“As someone who works closely with you, I can boldly say that since you have been in the saddle as the Chief Executive of Ondo state, you have religiously pursued pro-poor programs, projects and policies with a lot commitment and fervency.
“Your love for the downtrodden and the lowly in our society is second to none. Under your watch, Ondo state has been largely progressive and flourishing in every sector.
“We are proud of you, and your exploits.
“It is my prayer that the Almighty God who has brought you this far, will continue to perfect his work in your life and grant you many more productive years and good health in Jesus Name.
“Here’s wishing you a happy 60th birthday, my leader and boss. Congratulations, sir”, the statement concludes.
