Bisi Akande has been regarded as a tangible example of patriotism and devotion to public service by Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke.
Adeleke’s description appears in a celebratory card for Akande’s 84th birthday.
Bisi Akande was Osun State’s second executive governor, serving from May 29, 1999 until May 29, 2003.
Adeleke eulogized the older statesman in a personally signed statement, noting that the occasion was an opportunity to recognize him for his contributions to Osun State’s social and economic growth.
He praised Akande for the heritage of politics without bitterness that he has upheld, adding that the elder statesman is one of the few leaders in the country who has motivated young people to an unwavering dedication to service.
“Today, I honor a notable politician, Chief Bisi Kareem Akande, who is 84 years old. “Baba Akande, as he is affectionately known in political circles, is a magnificent figure, and his disposition to young people, particularly in the quality of counsel, is a treasure that is difficult to wish away,” the governor said in his congratulatory statement.
I wish him the best wishes of the fine people of Osun State as he enters a new decade and thank him for his services to the state as a politician who made a significant impact and as a governor.
The former Osun governor and previous temporary national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Bisi Akande, has been praised by the Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Timothy Owoeye, as an excellent leader whose bravery in public service has benefited Nigeria.
Owoeye said that Akande’s term as governor of the state was noteworthy due to his selfless devotion to the populace and transparency in administration in a statement signed by his spokeswoman, Kunle Alabi.
While praying for the elder statesman’s long life, the Speaker stated that his experience is still greatly needed for the mission of constructing the virile Nigeria envisioned by the founding fathers.
