The leading Senatorial Candidate in Ogun west Senatorial District, Chief Ganiyu Dada Adeleke Obanibasiri, has extoled the virtues of PDP Chieftain and Okanlomo of Ota, Chief Alani Akinde, Dambiyowu as he clocked 75 years.
In a personal message signed by the People’s Democratic Candidate, Chief Dada, he described Chief Akinde as ‘a distinguished elder statesman, who has seen and conquered it all’.
“To my leader and respected elder, Chief Akinde, I wish you many hearty cheers as you reached a milestone today, being your 75th birthday. You have distinguished yourself as an elder statesman, who has been through thick and thin in both political and personal lives, and you have conquered it all”. The letter reads in part.
Obanibasiri added that Chief Alani Akinde, who could have cross-carpeted just like other political leaders in Ado-Odo/Ota local government and Ogun west, stood for what he believes. This he described as being ‘disciplined and upright’, which according to the PDP Senatorial Candidate, ‘not popular among most Nigerian politicians’.
He prayed him longer life and good health to make him reap the fruits of his hard earned labour.
