President Muhammadu Buhari has joined leaders and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in celebrating with Governor Abiodun Oyebanji of Ekiti, on his 55th birthday.
His congratulatory message is contained in a press release issued by his spokesman, Mr Femi Adesina on Wednesday in Abuja.
The president rejoiced with the governor, his family, friends, and cabinet over the milestone.
He congratulated the governor on many achievements, including delving into public service at a young age, and taking up many sensitive positions, including Chief of Staff and Secretary to the Government of Ekiti.
According to him, Oyebanji’s passion to serve his people translated into winning the governorship election in June and swearing-in to office in October.
He noted that the celebrant brought a wealth of knowledge, a network, and experience after working in various capacities.
Buhari urged Oyebanji to explore opportunities for building on the successes of his predecessor in office, especially in education, in which the state earned a reputation for generational investments.
Thereafter, he prayed that the Almighty God would bless and keep Oyebanji and grant him wisdom to actualize his vision.
