President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated Abagun Kole Omololu, a prominent chieftain of the Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, on the occasion of his 70th birthday.
The President described Omololu as a man of integrity, loyalty and enduring commitment to nation-building.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu said Omololu’s life and public service reflected a consistent devotion to the preservation of Yoruba cultural heritage, democratic ideals and good governance.
The President also
commended Omololu’s principled stance on national issues and his steadfast support for the leadership of Afenifere under its leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti.
“As a leader in Afenifere, his principled position on issues and steadfast support for Baba Fasoranti’s leadership are particularly noteworthy,” Tinubu said.
He further acknowledged Omololu’s support for him and the Renewed Hope administration, noting that the Afenifere chieftain’s commitment to progressive politics and democratic stability had remained unwavering over the years.
Tinubu prayed for long life, wisdom and God’s abiding grace for Omololu as he marks the milestone age of 70, which he described as the Biblical age of three score and ten.
Abagun Omololu is widely regarded in Yoruba political circles as a key figure in the pro-democracy movement and a respected voice in the socio-political mobilisation of the South-West.
