A former Chairman of the Senate Committee on Privatization, Sen. Ayo Arise, has congratulated the former Governor of Ekiti State, Engr. Segun Oni, on the occasion of his 72nd birthday.
In a congratulatory message made available to newsmen over the weekend, Sen. Arise described the Ifaki-Ekiti-born politician as an “Icon of Good Governance” by all standards.
In his words:
“Engr. Oni’s tenure as Governor of Ekiti State remains exceptional, unparalleled, and clinical. It stands as a reference point for purposeful leadership, infrastructural development, and people-centered governance in the history of our dear state.
“He is a gentle, calm, brilliant, and articulate man to the core. His demeanor reflects wisdom, while his intellect continues to inspire both the young and old across party lines.
“Beyond politics, Engr. Oni has demonstrated that leadership is about service. His selfless service and impeccable character deserve to be emulated by Nigerian politicians. He has shown, by example, that politics is a call to service and not an avenue for self-enrichment.
“As he marks this milestone, I pray that Almighty God continues to bless him with good health, strength, and more wisdom to keep contributing to the growth and development of Ekiti State and Nigeria at large.
“Happy 72nd Birthday, Your Excellency. Ekiti and Nigeria celebrate you,” Sen. Arise concluded.
