Kehinde Akerele, has joined all members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in celebrating the first Interim Chairman of the party and former Governor of the State of Osun, Chief Abdulkareem Adebisi Akande on his 81st birthday.
In a statement made available to the newsmen, in Osogbo today, Kehinde Akerele Congratulated Chief Bisi Akande, his family and friends for the laudable achievements over the years.
Hon. Kehinde Akerele noted that Akande’s achievements had thrown him into the limelight at an early age, particularly highlighting his sacrifices in public service at both state and national levels.
As the first Interim Chairman of the APC, Buhari affirmed that the former governor’s pivotal and visionary leadership prepared the party for history in 2015, which saw it unseating an incumbent president for the first time in an election in Nigeria.
He, therefore, extolled Akande’s loyalty and faithfulness to the party and the cause of building a strong and unified nation.
According to him, Akande consistently challenges governments and leaders to higher ideals, and reminds them to think out of the box in meeting the needs of the poor and vulnerable.
Akerele believed that the octogenarian’s good-nature, large heart and broad outlook on issues had impacted positively on party politics and democracy in Nigeria.
