On behalf of myself and my family, I heartily congratulate our great leader and father, the inimitable icon of labour unionism and progressive governance, Your Excellency, Comrade Senator Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole, on the occasion of your cherished birthday anniversary.
My dear Leader, words are not enough to describe my feelings as I contemplate a description of the exemplary and inspiring life that you have lived. Your life has been that of an awesome motion – from a noble humility to a humbling greatness – a cocktail of hardwork, dedication, courage, selflessness, sacrifice, service and leadership.
You have remained the reference point of what you have dared to do and done, maintaining a constancy of virtue that a true legend is made of. From your days of leading the largest trade union in Africa and giving it true definition, through your days of governing Edo State and setting an example of developmental governance, to this present time of your eloquent representation at the Senate, you have always been a class apart.
In all of these I make bold to say that I have found in you a man of integrity, conviction and a dependable leader, who looks out for the interest of his partners and followers. It is therefore no wonder that you have over the years built, and continue to build, formidable relationships across our dear Edo State and the entire country, and establishing a legacy of cooperation, trust, loyalty and development.
Today, I join the world to celebrate your exceptional personality which has impacted individual lives, and defined communal and human progress. I celebrate a true man for all seasons, and one for all.
As you relish the ambience of your illustrious birthday anniversary, I wish you the realization of all that you wish yourself as you embark on the journey of this new age. And I pray that Almighty God grants you more wisdom and excellent health as you continue to render excellent service to society and humanity.
Signed:
Hon. Dr. Pius Alile
Deputy Chief of Staff
To Edo State Governor
