Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has congratulated former Governor of Osun State, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, on his 70th birthday anniversary.

The Governor in his congratulatory letter to Prince Oyinlola described him as a gentleman who has earned respect of many people, and as a person who never betrays any cause to which he is committed to.

His birthday greetings read: “My Egbon, as I fondly refer to him, is very loyal and a forthright gentleman who never betrays any cause to which he is committed. His forthrightness and frankness sometimes pitch him against those who would prefer guile and deception, but for the Okuku prince, fidelity is the highest form of honour.

“Even before now, he has always been elderly in conduct and wisdom. He is truly a prince in courage, dignity and character.

“You cannot but be marveled by the depth of his native intelligence and philosophical conviction. Prince Oyinlola is unique in so many ways. The thing that stands him out is not just the nobility of his birth or the genteelness of his military education but his enormous gift of garb, wits and inner stamina”, Fayemi extolled him.

“As he joins the prestigious club of septuagenarians, I pray God to continue to bless him with good health and sound mind. On behalf of my wife, the government and good people of Ekiti State, this is wishing Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola a wonderful 70th birthday and long life”
