President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has extended warm birthday felicitations to former National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) Managing Director Bola Oyebamiji as he celebrates his 60th birthday milestone.
Political Ambition and Resignation
The birthday celebration comes shortly after Oyebamiji's recent resignation from his position as NIWA Managing Director. He stepped down to pursue his political ambition of securing the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship ticket in Osun State, marking a significant career transition from public service to active politics.
Presidential Recognition of Achievements
In his congratulatory message, President Tinubu described Oyebamiji as a dependable figure in both Nigeria's financial and political sectors. The President emphasized that Oyebamiji's leadership qualities, intellect, and integrity have consistently made positive impacts on Osun State and the nation at large.
Tinubu particularly highlighted Oyebamiji's distinguished career in the banking industry, where he established a reputation for professionalism and excellence before transitioning his expertise to public service and political endeavors.
A Loyal Party Man and Patriot
The President further characterized the former NIWA boss as "a loyal party man, a trusted associate, and a patriotic Nigerian" whose exemplary work ethic embodies the principles of responsible leadership. This endorsement comes at a crucial time as Oyebamiji prepares for his gubernatorial bid in Osun State.
President Tinubu concluded his message by wishing the celebrant continued success and more accomplishments in the years ahead, while acknowledging his substantial contributions to both the APC and national development efforts.
