Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has congratulated his Ondo State counterpart, Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa, on the occasion of his 60th birthday.
Sanwo-Olu, the Chairman of the South-West Governors Forum, described him as a passionate public officer.
This is contained in a statement issued on Saturday by Mr Gboyega Akosile, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the governor made available to Supreme News.
“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).
“Till date, the developmental strides of their teamwork are noticeable in different areas of endeavour,” the governor said.
Sanwo-Olu said that since Aiyedatiwa, a successful businessman, joined partisan politics in 2011, he had made a valuable impact in the lives of many people as well as the ruling party in Ondo State and Nigeria.
“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 in good health and sound mind.
” I pray that God will give Governor Aiyedatiwa more wisdom and strength to enable him to render more service to the Sunshine State,” Sanwo-Olu said.
