”Your feats are bold and exceptional; from business to governance and politics. As a governor, you made sweeping reforms that till date, your successors are still building on and making Lagos State proud.”We celebrate the Asiwaju of Lagos, who is also the Jagaban of Borgu Kingdom in Niger State, for his selflessness in serving his country, and making life better for many.

“Asiwaju has made a lot of sacrifices to include standing up against injustice in 1993 when the June 12 elections were annulled, which led to his going on political exile for many years, and a protracted legal battle with the Federal Government when funds for Lagos were withheld.

“As the father of modern Lagos State, the group eulogised the visionary and inclusive leadership style that the Asiwaju provided for the commercial nerve centre of Nigeria for eight years.

“You have been a formidable force, helping to put together a great political party that won power at the centre in Nigeria. You have proved to be a true hero of democracy, a light that cannot be concealed!

”As you mark yet another year, our prayer for you is that God will continue to consolidate your efforts and crown them all with success.
