The chairman of the South-West Governors Forum and Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has felicitated his Ondo State counterpart, Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa, on the occasion of his 60th birthday, describing him as a passionate public officer.
Governor Sanwo-Olu, in a statement issued at the weekend by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Gboyega Akosile, praised Aiyedatiwa’s commitment and dedication to serving the people of Ondo State in different capacities.
He said that since Governor Aiyedatiwa, a successful businessman, joined partisan politics in 2011, he had significantly impacted the lives of many people and the ruling party in Ondo State and Nigeria.
Governor Sanwo-Olu said Aiyedatiwa, who clocks 60 tomorrow, has used his position as Federal Commissioner, who represented Ondo State on the Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission from 2018 to 2019, to attract development to Ondo State and different parts of Nigeria.
He said: “On behalf of my family, the government and the people of Lagos State, I congratulate my dear brother, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, on his 60th birthday.
“Governor Aiyedatiwa’s contributions to the progress, growth and development of Ondo State, formerly as Deputy Governor, Acting Governor, and now Governor, are a pragmatic testament to his visionary leadership and passion for public service.
“As a Deputy Governor, he was a dependable and trusted partner to his boss, the immediate past Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu (SAN), and to date, the developmental strides of their teamwork are noticeable in different areas of endeavour.
“Since he assumed office as Governor in December 2023, the Aiyedatiwa administration has made positive changes in the Sunshine State, impacting lives and delivering the dividends of democracy to the citizens.
“On this landmark occasion of Governor Aiyedatiwa’s Diamond Jubilee celebration, I wish him more years of good health and a sound mind. I pray that God will give Governor Aiyedatiwa more wisdom and strength to enable him to render more service to Ondo State.”
