“We heartily congratulate our esteemed leader, an elder statesman and member of the prestigious Governance Advisory Council (GAC), Distinguished Senator (Dr.) Anthony Adefuye (The Olugbon of Lagos), on your 80th birthday.
“Sir, we are very proud of your shining legacies as an astute politician, accomplished professional and community leader. We are equally grateful for the quality leadership you are providing as one of our respected leaders in Lagos East Senatorial District.
“In the third republic, when you served as the distinguished Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, you delivered meritoriously, standing firmly on justice, equity, fairness and national unity. Your robust wealth of experience in politics and public service are indeed a great asset to our great party, the All Progressives Congress, APC.
“Reflecting on the pivotal role you have played in the political, socio-economic development of our dear nation, history will always be kind to you. We salute your struggle, alongside other pro-democracy campaigners at the expense of your personal and family safety for the restoration of democracy in Nigeria.
