Celebrating him on social media, Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun wrote, “On behalf of my family, the government and good people of Ogun state, I felicitate you on attaining the age of four scores and six.
“We pray that God will grant you the grace of many more years in the service of humanity in good health. Many happy returns, Baba!”
