Former Executive Vice Chairman of the Presidential Task Team on the Restoration of Order in Apapa, Comrade Kayode Opeifa has joined hundreds of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu admirers in wishing him a resounding birthday as he national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) clocks 69 years today.
In a short birthday greeting issued on Sunday, Opeifa described Tinubu, as an Obafemi Awolowo incarnate, and a generation statement.
Opeifa’s statement reads:
Nine (9) good years ago, I wrote this about you, today my thoughts about you remained same but strengthened as You remained consistent and truly yourself.
Asiwaju, Akanbi, Olodo de Omo Abibatu:
A phenomenon, an enigma, a moment, a period and indeed a generation.
A measure of a time. To me also a mentor, who is most often right. Even when wrong, is justifiably right.
To your generation, an Obafemi Awolowo reincarnate, to our generation a Mahatma Gandhi lookup and to the younger generation a combination of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jnr expectation.
To many you are yourself, a generational phenomenon.
At 69 we cannot but be grateful to God as you continue to trade your *“age and youthfulness for wisdom”.
Baba, Happy Three Scores and Nine years of God’s faithfulness.
