I want to tell you something that whether somebody decides not to celebrate you, what you did in the history of Osun will continue to speak for you.

“On behalf of the Osun State Executive Council, we are celebrating you, our party, the PDP is celebrating you. Continue to do good to people. You are reaping the fruits of your legacy and impact in the lives of the people. I pray God to grant you many more years in good and sound health in service to Osun State.”
