In his message, made available to Alltimpost.com today, Obaseki paid a glowing tribute to one of Nigeria’s elder statesmen of great integrity and principles:
On behalf of the people and government of Edo State, I congratulate you as you clock 79 years, and adding to your rich bouquet of experience, as an astute and thoroughbred export of good governance and public administration from Edo State.
We celebrate your doggedness and integrity, which are evidenced in the various offices you have held, including being the former governor of our dear state and most recently, the immediate past National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Your contributions to Nigeria’s development, an unyielding commitment to probity and excellence and the unwavering passion to impact lives have stood you out as a worthy son of Edo land and we are very proud of your achievements.
We wish you more years of impactful life in all your endeavours.
Godwin Obaseki,
Governor, Edo State
