Osun APC felicitates with former Chairman at 66

The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has congratulated its former state chairman, Oba Gboyega Famodun, the Owa of Igbajoland, on the celebration of his 66th birthday anniversary today.

According to the Osun State chairman of the APC, Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, in a statement issued by the party’s Director of Media and Information, Chief Kola Olabisi, today, Oba Famodun, the immediate-past state chairman of the party really did his best to fortify the party that recorded many successes for it during his tenure.

The monarch when he was in the saddle of the political leadership of the party in the state really proved his mettle as an enigmatic political leader from whom the upcoming politicians are tapping the rare and profound knowledge of partisan politics from at all times.

He stated that it won’t be an overstatement to describe Oba Famodun as a stabilizing factor in the history of progressive politics in Osun State.

The state APC chairman stated that there is no way that the political history of Osun State can be written whole without mentioning the positive contributions of Oba Famodun who put in his all to move the party forward.

In Lawal’s statement: “What is always endearing me like others to Oba Famodun is his calmness and non-violent posture even in the face of provocation.

“Oba Famodun is a repository of political knowledge and acumen in Osun State and it is on record that he has been positively relevant since his foray into partisan politics before the creation of the state.

“The philanthropic attribute of Oba Famodun has been the reason why people irrespective of political leanings always mill round him as ants do to sugar.

“It is known to all and sundry that the Igbona, Osogbo residence of Oba Famodun just like his palatial building in Igbajo are always filled to capacity by his admirers and favour seekers who throng the places for one reason or the other.

“Oba Famodun is a loving husband and caring father of his wife and children respectively which is epitomized by his pungent showing of affection and love to them.

“It’s on this basis that I am, on behalf of my family, the state executive officers of our party and members and leaders of our party in Osun State, felicitating the quintessential monarch and former consumate state chairman of our party on his birthday anniversary.

“May God Almighty be kind to him to spend more quality years on the surface of the earth in a sound health and further fulfilled aspirations”, the Osun State APC chairman prayed.
