A statesman of uncommon courage, a journalist of distinction, and a leader whose legacy continues to inspire generations.
May your years ahead be filled with peace, good health, and the joy of fulfilled purpose.”
Chief Olusegun Osoba, a highly respected figure in Nigerian politics and journalism, served as Governor of Ogun State in two separate terms and remains a formidable voice in the political evolution of the South West and Nigeria at large. Beyond his political achievements, Osoba is widely acknowledged for his sterling contributions to the media industry, having risen through the ranks as a distinguished journalist before venturing into politics.
Rep. Akinosi’s tribute reflects the immense respect the elder statesman commands within and outside Ogun State. The lawmaker praised Osoba’s continued relevance and mentorship in national affairs, noting that the former governor’s leadership footprints have become a source of guidance for younger politicians and public servants.
