Makinde, Samwo-Olu Celebrate Ugwuanyi At 58

Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, yesterday, felicitated with his Enugu State counterpart, Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, on the occasion of his 58th birthday.
Makinde, in a statement in Ibadan, by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Taiwo Adisa, described Ugwuanyi as a bridge-builder and a detribalised patriot with strong belief in the Nigeria project.
He prayed to God to grant  Ugwuanyi more years to serve his people and humanity at large.
Makinde said the   Enugu state governor, like his other colleagues in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), had shown that there is still hope for Nigeria.
“And it is important to celebrate him and pray for long life and more grace for him.
“Gburugburu as he is called, is one politician I always commend for his love for his state and his passion for a better Nigeria.
“He embodies the concept of a detribalised Nigerian who has displayed pragmatic leadership with selflessness and dedication.
“Brother, not only are you a shining light among the PDP Governors, who by their sterling performances in office have shown that Nigeria can be better, you are an active player in the effort to rescue the country and bring about the Nigeria of our collective dreams.
“As you add another year, it is my prayer that God continues to sustain you and enable you to do more for humanity,” Makinde stated.
Similarly, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, has felicitated with the Enugu State Governor, Mr Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi on his 58th birthday, describing him as a visionary leader.
Sanwo-Olu in a congratulatory message signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Gboyega Akosile on Saturday, said that the leadership style of the governor had impacted on the growth and development of the state.
He described Gov. Ugwuanyi, who clocked 58 on Sunday, March 20, as a committed and selfless public servant, who contributed to the development of Enugu State and Nigeria at large, as a governor and former federal lawmaker.
According to him, the Enugu State number one citizen has displayed pragmatic leadership with selflessness and dedication, by rendering quality service to people at state and national level in the last 16 years.
“On behalf of my wife, Ibijoke, and the good people of Lagos State, I join family, friends, political associates and the people of Enugu State to congratulate my dear brother, Governor Ugwuanyi on his 58th birthday.
“Governor Ugwuanyi’s input in the growth and development of Enugu is pragmatic testament to his visionary leadership. His developmental strides in Enugu State and national growth are noticeable in different areas of endeavour.
“His penchant for diligence is evident in his contributions toward the development of Nigeria’s socio-economic and political landscape based on his service to the nation as a member of the House of Representatives, before assuming his current status as Governor of Enugu State.
“On this occasion of his 58th birthday, I wish my brother good health and wisdom, as he continues to render more services to humanity, his state and our dear country,”Sanwo-Olu said.
