BIRTHDAY FELICITATIONS TO A STATESMAN AND PATHFINDER: OTUNBA ADENIYI ADEBAYO.
On behalf of the good people of Ekiti South Senatorial District and in my personal capacity, I, Senator Yemi Adaramodu, joyfully celebrate a distinguished statesman, consummate administrator, and pioneer leader, His Excellency, Otunba Adeniyi Adebayo, on the occasion of his birthday.
Otunba Adeniyi Adebayo occupies a unique and indelible place in the political history of Ekiti State as its first Executive Governor (1999–2003). His emergence at a defining moment laid the institutional and democratic foundations upon which subsequent administrations have continued to build. His tenure was marked by calm leadership, civility in governance, and an enduring commitment to public service.
Beyond Ekiti State, Otunba Adebayo served Nigeria meritoriously at the federal level as Honourable Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, where he brought experience, depth, and statesmanship to national economic management. His career as a legal practitioner, administrator, and public servant reflects decades of disciplined service and unwavering dedication to national development.
As a leader, mentor, and elder statesman, Otunba Adeniyi Adebayo continues to command respect across political, generational, and ideological lines. His life exemplifies dignity in leadership, restraint in power, and loyalty to democratic ideals.
On this special day, I pray that Almighty God grants him continued good health, long life, and peace, as he remains a source of wisdom and inspiration to Ekiti State and Nigeria at large.
Happy Birthday, Your Excellency.
Signed:
Senator Yemi Adaramodu
Senator, Ekiti South Senatorial District
