Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has congratulated an elder statesman and member of the Governance Advisory Council (GAC), Senator Anthony Adefuye, on his 80th birthday.
He describes Senator Adefuye, a member of the National Assembly in the aborted Third Republic, as a democrat and experienced politician who is passionate about good governance and the delivery of democratic dividends to the people.
Governor Sanwo-Olu, says Senator Adefuye, who turns 80 on Wednesday, deserves all the accolades for his immense contributions to the growth and development of governance and politics in Lagos State and Nigeria as a whole.
“Senator Adefuye served Lagos State and Nigeria passionately as a member of the Senate during the aborted Third Republic. He is a true democrat and one of those who fought tirelessly in defense of democracy after the annulment of the June 12, 1993, presidential election.
“Since he joined partisan politics, Senator Adefuye has remained one of the most respected leaders and leading voices in Lagos State politics. He is an uncompromised, disciplined, and principled politician. His contributions remain invaluable as a member of the Governance Advisory Council.”
The Governor, on behalf of his family, the government, and the people of Lagos State, as well as members of the Governance Advisory Council (GAC), leaders, and members of the ruling All Progressives Council (APC), felicitates Senator Anthony Adefuye on his 80th birthday.
As Senator Adefuye joins the league of octogenarians on August 14, Governor Sanwo-Olu prays that God will grant him good health to enable him to render more service to humanity, Lagos State and Nigeria.”
