The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Oyo State, Senator Sharafadeen Alli, has congratulated former Senate Leader, Senator Teslim Folarin, on his 63rd birthday, describing him as a pillar of the party and a formidable force in Oyo State politics.

Alli, in a congratulatory message personally signed by him, extolled Folarin’s political leadership, describing him as an exceptional politician, distinguished statesman and committed progressive whose contributions to the party and the development of Oyo State remain invaluable.

He said Folarin’s 63 years had been characterised by dedicated public service, political courage, loyalty, resilience and an unwavering commitment to the growth of Oyo State and Nigeria.

The APC governorship candidate noted that Folarin’s political journey, particularly his distinguished tenure as Senate Leader, had earned him a prominent place among influential political figures in the country.

According to Alli, Folarin’s relevance in the political landscape goes beyond the offices he has occupied, stressing that his capacity to build relationships, mobilise political structures and provide strategic direction has continued to strengthen the APC in Oyo State.

He also commended the celebrant for his commitment to President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, describing his role as the President’s Campaign Coordinator in Oyo State as a reflection of his political influence and organisational capacity.

Alli said: “Senator Teslim Folarin is more than a political leader; he is an institution whose political experience, courage, resilience and understanding of governance have continued to enrich our great party.

“At 63, he remains a formidable political asset, a dependable ally and a strategic voice in the struggle to reposition Oyo State and strengthen the APC.

“His contributions to our party and the democratic development of our country deserve recognition and commendation.

“His political journey is a testament to the fact that true leadership is measured not merely by the offices occupied but by the impact made and the people inspired.”

The APC candidate further acknowledged Folarin’s sacrifices, political investments and commitment to party unity, particularly at a time the party was working to consolidate its structures and expand its acceptance across the state.

He expressed confidence that the former Senate Leader’s wealth of political experience and strategic contributions would remain valuable to the APC’s aspiration to provide purposeful, inclusive and people-oriented leadership in Oyo State.

Alli urged party leaders, stakeholders and supporters to draw inspiration from Folarin’s political maturity, loyalty and enduring commitment to the progressive movement.

He also prayed that Almighty Allah would grant the celebrant more years in good health, renewed strength, wisdom and greater opportunities to continue serving humanity.

“On behalf of my family, political associates and supporters, I wish my distinguished brother, Senator Teslim Folarin, a happy 63rd birthday.

“May the years ahead bring him greater accomplishments, sound health and enduring fulfilment,” Alli added.
