I extend my warmest greetings to Sen. Teslim Kolawole Folarin, the Agbaakin Olubadan of Ibadanland, our party’s 2023 gubernatorial candidate for Oyo State, with deep respect and admiration.
Your magnanimous nature has always stood out, a generous spirit that opens doors for others and lifts those around you without seeking recognition. You have been resilient in the face of setbacks and have approached every challenge with a forward-thinking mindset.
Your progressive principles, marked by a compassionate nature that prioritises people’s needs, have made you a guiding light in our political landscape. It is this blend of strength and empathy that continues to inspire many as we work to build a better Oyo State.
Your years in the Nigerian Senate, where you served with distinction and rose to the position of Senate Leader, reflect a legacy of effective representation and strategic leadership.
In that role, you navigated complex national issues with skill, advocating for Oyo State’s interests while advancing unity across party lines. Your personality; honest, approachable, and deeply rooted in service endears you to the progressive folds and the people of Oyo State, who see in you a leader who listens and acts with genuine care.
These qualities have not only strengthened the APC but have also earned you widespread respect, making you a figure of stability in our state’s political history.
On this day, I pray bountifully for you, Sen. Folarin, asking the Almighty to grant you continued health, wisdom, and strength to pursue your endeavours.
May He surround you with protection, open new paths of opportunity, and bless your family with peace and prosperity. I wish you many great things ahead and further successes in your service to our great country, Nigeria, fulfilment in your personal life, and the joy of seeing your vision for our state come to fruition.
You deserve every blessing, and I look forward to standing with you in our shared commitment to progress. Happy 62nd birthday, Agbaakin.
