He, also described him as a loyal and faithful party chieftain who is committed to the sustenance of peace and unity in the PDP, both in Oyo State and the South-West region and, indeed, in the entire country.

“I hereby wish to congratulate you, the newly-elected deputy national chairman (South) of our great party, the PDP, on your attainment of age 63 years today.

“This is a great achievement, coming this far, both in your private and public life. Indeed, you are like a good wine that is getting stronger and better with each passing day and year.

Senator Balogun urged the PDP chieftain not to relent but continue to strive to do more to serve the interest of the party, the people and the country, especially now that he has been elected as one of the national leaders of the party.

“Now, and more than ever, is the time to prove it to your family, your followers and every other member of the PDP that your election as the deputy national chairman of our party would usher us into greater development and advancement.

“On behalf of myself, my family, my entire political team and the progressive people of the Oyo South Senatorial District, I hereby wish you a happy birthday.
