President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has extended warm congratulations to two distinguished Nigerians — His Imperial Majesty, Oba Akinloye Owolabi Olakulehin, the Olubadan of Ibadanland, on his 90th birthday and first coronation anniversary, and Mallam Shehu Dikko, Chairman of the National Sports Commission, on his 55th birthday.
In separate statements released by the State House, President Tinubu hailed the Olubadan for his decades of selfless service, cultural preservation, and peace-driven leadership, describing him as a revered elder statesman and symbol of Yoruba tradition.
The President also praised Mallam Dikko for his visionary leadership in Nigerian sports, particularly his reforms in the football league and current efforts to reposition the National Sports Commission in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda.
President Tinubu wished both men continued strength, good health, and greater accomplishments in service to the nation.
