Former Minister of Police Affairs, Alhaji Abdul-Jelili Oyewale Adesiyan, has congratulated the All-Progressive Congress, APC Chieftain and former governor of Osun State, Chief Abdul-Kareem Adebisi Akande on his 84th birthday.
In his birthday congratulatory message to the Elder Statesman made available to journalists in Osogbo, the Osun state capital, on Monday, he said: “I Alhaji Abdul Jelili ADESIYAN aka JALLO felicitate our leader Chief Abdul Kareem Adebisi Akande on his 84th birthday.
“We are proud of your accomplishments in putting Osun State and indeed Yoruba land on the front burner.
“Your struggle to give us a lasting democracy in Nigeria first as a member of Action group (AG), Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN), Social Democratic Party (SDP), Alliance for Democracy (AD) and indeed all other parties you helped in nurturing until you became the first National founding chairman of APC which is now a bed where we are all striving to sleep on; is well noticed and appreciated.”
Alhaji Adesiyan who prayed for the “birthday boy” to live long enough to see all the seeds germinate described him as a leader who take pride in telling it as he feels, which is a character some of us take pride in.
“While wishing you long life with more blessings, I pray that the seed you are sowing on our presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, germinate and bear fruits for all of us to harvest.
“Many Happy returns. Osun will be great again. Congratulations.”
