Friends of All Progressives Congress (APC) strongman, Ayo Afolabi have rolled out a plan to celebrate him as he prepares to clock the age of 70 by February 5, 2018.
Parrot Xtra can authoritatively reveal that a standing committee has been put together to roll out plans to celebrate one of the most consistent Nigerian politician alive.
We gathered that the group tentatively named ‘Ayo Afolabi @ 70’ has been meeting in Ibadan in the past one month to fashion out a plan of action to carry out the assignment at hand.
The convener, Kunle Famoriyo, in his initial letter sent out, he stated “Please be informed that our dear brother, friend and colleague Ayo Afolabi will attain age 70 by February 5th 2018. His devotion and diligence to common ideals requires that we organize a befitting birthday for him. Kindly forward names and whatsapp numbers of notable friends to be included in the committee of friends. Tunde Afolabi and Mrs Biola Taylor will represent the family on the committee.”
At the last meeting of the group in Ibadan which was attended by the likes of Oyo’s former Depuyt Governor, Barrister Iyiola Oladokun, Barrister Niyi Akintola, SAN, and others, three standing subcommittees were set up.
The first was the Funds & Finance sub-committee to be headed by Chief Adeniyi Akintola SAN, Publicity and Programmes sub-committee to be headed by Olayinka Agboola, the Publisher of PMParrot.com and Parrot Xtra Magazine. The third sub-committee is that of Protocol & Logistics with Mr Kunle Famoriyo as the head.
The chairmen were mandated to co-opt members from the group but seeking the nod of the convener Mr Kunle Famoriyo and that of the coordinating chairman Chief lyiola Oladokun. Furthermore the committees have two weeks that is, at the next meeting to present their first working reports. The need for the committees to synergize their efforts was well ventilated.
