Today, I join friends, family, leaders and indeed all Nigerians to congratulate my Leader, Mentor and Benefactor; Senator (Dr.) Surajudeen Ajibola Basiru on his 49th birthday and to commend him for his outstanding contributions to democratic governance and to the progressive cause in Nigeria.
A committed democrat and a prudent yet compassionate leader of men, SRJ has done much for this country and for the progressive family. In addition to his able stewardship of the State of Osun, where he has been one of the chief architect of our nation’s progressive political party.
You have lodged an remarkable institutional memory such that you are undoubtedly one of the most experienced, Outspoken and Dedicated, and Brilliant lawmakers we have ever had in the country. No wonder you ‘deservingly’ rose to the enviable and lofty height of the Spokesperson of the Ahmad Lawan-led Senate.
SRJ is a consummate teacher, tolerant and cosmopolitan in outlook, and a excellent human being, helpful and charitable to all, no matter their station in life.
Because of his traits as an exemplary leader & mentor, many call him Àlùbáríkà, meaning Blessing/Bleseed. Truly, He is blessed.
I’m glad to be your protégé, You are a true patriot who wants the best for the nation and I join you in this desire. May Almighty Allah bless these efforts and support us so that at the end of the day we shall overcome and that Nigeria must stand as a prosperous and peaceful nation.
A loyal party man and stabilizing factor in Osun Politics. Your contributions to the Nigerian Senate and the All Progressive Congress (APC) is Invaluable.
My prayer is that God Almighty grant you many more years and excellent health so that you can continue to show us the progressive way this nation must go for the betterment of all its people.
May you continue to stand forth as an example to young leaders, like myself and many others, and may your wise counsel and civic virtue help guide us to a brighter tomorrow.
I use this medium to reinterate my unshakable and unfiltered fidelity and loyalty to the Alubarika Dynasty.
I pray that the Munificent Allah grant you many more years, good health and vitality and shower on you His protection and grace to continue to serve the people meritoriously.
Happy birthday my Leader, Mentor and Benefactor in the progressive front.
Happy birthday SRJ!
