Today, as Asiwaju, Senator Francis Adenigba Fadahunsi OFR, turns 73, I pay a special tribute to an extraordinary leader and statesman who has made enormous contributions to Nigeria’s development and whose life for the past five decades is woven deeply into the fabric of Nigeria’s history.
Omole Olusegun Omo-Osodi, a congratulatory message in Abuja, today said;
Providence has constantly thrust Senator Fadahunsi to the forefront at critical junctures in Nigeria’s story.
He served the country meritoriously in the Nigerian Customs Service. As an ACG, fate beckoned on him while leading operations.
I thank Asiwaju, Senator Ade Fadahunsi for his onerous contributions to Ijesa land, Osun East, Osun State and Nigeria. I commend him for his statesmanship and leadership.
“I am elated to join family, friends, and well-wishers to celebrate a distinguished public servant, Asiwaju Senator Francis Adenigba Fadahunsi, on the auspicious occasion of his birthday.
“On this special day, I note with excitement the incredible contributions of Senator Fadahunsi to nation building all through his illustrious career in the Nigerian Customs and as a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“Senator Fadahunsi embodies service, and as we can all see, prioritizes nothing but the good of all. As he clocks a new age, I recognise the significance of his contributions to Osun state and honour his tireless efforts in entrenching economic growth and developments, particularly for constituents.
“It is my prayer that God Almighty bless his new age while also strengthening him to be able to continue to make contributions to efforts to make our state and largely, Nigeria, a better place for all. Many happy returns of the day to the Distinguished.”
At 73, Asiwaju Fadahunsi is still gaining strength. I pray that God Almighty will grant him the grace and strength to live for more years so the nation and Africa can continue to benefit from his wisdom and knowledge.
On behalf of myself, family the entire Oke-Eso, Ijesa land, I extend heartfelt congratulations to this great patriot. Happy 73rd birthday, Senator Ade Fadahunsi; he concluded
