APC leaders, Lagos Chief Imam honour Tajudeen Olusi at 90

Prominent leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and religious figures have celebrated Prince Tajudeen Oluyole Olusi, Chairman of the Lagos State APC Governance Advisory Council (GAC) and Baba Adinni of Yorubaland, on his 90th birthday, describing him as an experienced leader and a source of guidance.

The tributes were delivered during a special prayer and thanksgiving service held at the Lagos Central Mosque, where political associates, community leaders and religious figures gathered to honour the elder statesman for his contributions to public service, community development and Nigerian politics.

Speaking at the event, the Secretary of the Lagos State Governance Advisory Council, Alhaji Mutiu Are, commended Olusi for dedicating much of his life to serving his political associates, community and country.

Are said the milestone offered an opportunity to reflect on the celebrant’s longstanding commitment to public service and his contributions to the political development of Lagos State and Nigeria.

The Lagos State APC Chairman, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi, expressed appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for their commitment to leadership and governance.

Ojelabi also praised the planning committee for organising the thanksgiving service and other activities to mark Olusi’s 90th birthday.

In his remarks, the Secretary of the Prince Tajudeen Oluyole Olusi at 90 Planning Committee, Dr Seyi Bamgbade, said the elder statesman deserved recognition for his contributions to Nigeria’s development and his longstanding support for President Tinubu and his family.

Bamgbade noted that the celebration was an opportunity to acknowledge Olusi’s years of service and his role in the political journey of the ruling party.

In his sermon, the Chief Imam of Lagos State offered prayers for the celebrant, asking Allah to grant him continued strength, good health and more years of service.

The cleric urged younger Nigerians to draw inspiration from Olusi’s dedication to public service and commitment to the common good.

He also called on Lagos residents and political leaders to sustain the state’s tradition of progressive governance and development.

The thanksgiving service formed part of activities marking Olusi’s 90th birthday, bringing together political and religious stakeholders to recognise his decades of involvement in public life and his standing within the Lagos APC.
