HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO A CELEBRATED ICON.
I am especially honoured to write these few words about our man of reservoir of wisdom. One of my definitions of Greatness is that: some Greatness could be purchased and some Greatness is only attainable through educational attainment, while to a very few like our indefatigable ASIWAJU OF IJESA LAND, it is an in born, a divine endowment from the Almighty God which conforms to the Yoruba adage” BIBIRE KO SE FOWO RA.
Today, as you celebrate this 70-years of milestone in your peregrination: we gather in admiration and gratitude to honour a great rallying point and a great community leader, a distinguished personality celebrating seventy years of accomplishments.
Your name Asiwaju Olayinka Fasuyi implies “surrounded by wealth”.
Today, we celebrate you, not just for the years you have counted but being a symbol of dignity, a fearless icon, a great supporter of churches and your fatherly role to clergy.
On behalf of my wife, the very best I can wish you on your seven decades of celebration is long life, peace of mind, many good days of good health, God’s divine Grace and endless blessings ahead of you in Jesus name. Amen.
