President Muhammadu Buhari has joined other great Nigerians to congratulate the Osile of Oke Ona of Egbaland, His Royal Highness Oba Adedapo Adewale Tejuoso on his 80th birthday, February 18th, 2018.
In a release from the office of his spokesman, Femi Adesina, President Buhari was quoted as saying “I join the government and people of Ogun State, all sons and daughters of Egbaland, family and friends of the royal father in celebrating the grace of wisdom, strength and courage that has translated into many years of laudable achievements before, and after, he ascended his fathers’ throne.”
The President commended Oba Tejuoso’s strong sense of patriotism, broadmindedness and timely interventions on critical national issues, while also extoling his visionary leadership over his domain by always ensuring peaceful co-existence, promoting tolerance and constantly reminding citizens of their civic duties.
As the royal father turns an octogenarian, President Buhari expressed his belief in his repertoire of wisdom, many years of experience in handling multi-cultural issues, and the network of friends he has acquired across the country, and the globe, will be most useful in the current drive to reposition the country for greater glory.
