As I stepped into another year of life on Monday, I was overwhelmed with warm wishes and heartfelt prayers from far and wide. To everyone who took time out to acknowledge my special day, I extend my deepest gratitude.
From traditional and religious leaders in Oyo State and beyond, to political voices, friends, family members, students and staff of Attaofeequ Billahi International School, Ibadan, and even distant associates, your kind words and thoughtful gestures mean everything to me.
As I basked in the warmth of your goodwill, I couldn’t help but reflect on the larger spectrum of life. My birthday served as a poignant reminder of the world we inhabit – a world where countless individuals live unequal lives and yearn for better tomorrows. Martin Luther King Jr.’s words resonated deeply within me: “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘what are you doing for others?'” ¹
This reflection inspired me to extend a gesture of kindness to my alma mater, distributing books to students. It’s a small act that I hope will contribute to a larger narrative of inspiring young minds.
This introspective moment reminded me of the power of collective action. Our country, Oyo State, and indeed our world, can be a beacon of encouragement, serving the people through intentional political choices and decisions. It’s a vision I’ve committed myself to, and one that I invite everyone to join me in.
Together, we can build a world where every individual has access to quality education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. A future where every voice, dream, and life matters. I look forward to a life where compassion, love, and good conscience unite us for a common purpose.
To everyone who has walked with me on this journey, thank you once more. Your presence in my life is an affirmation of love, and I’m honored to share this path with you. As Desmond Tutu wisely said, “We are made for togetherness. We are made for friendship. We are made for community.”
May we continue to foster this spirit of togetherness, creating a world where every individual can thrive and feel fulfilled. Thank you all.
