A well respected leader in Ondo South and a chieftain of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Hon. Banji Ben Okunomo (BBO) has extended hearty congratulations to Sen. Jimoh Ibrahim on the occasion of his birthday celebration today.
In a special birthday message made public, BBO, a double first class lawyer both from the University and Nigerian Law School said the date Feb. 24 is significant in Ondo State calendar and that it clearly foretells the purpose for which God called out Ibrahim to serve his people.
“This date is a remarkable day and I celebrate you specially as your birth is symbolic. I am not surprised that God created you specially to meet a purpose for Ondo State.
“By Feb. 24 next year, it will be for your swearing-in as Governor of Ondo State by God’s grace”, he added.
While also thanking him for having the courage to come out at this crucial time when the people of the state need succour in the face of harsh economic realities, BBO said what Ibrahim has been doing, many of those aspiring to be governor in the state cannot afford to do.
“I am not trying to reprimand anybody but I have been around for quite a while and I can boldly say I am yet to see any aspirant go from ward to ward tour, impacting and touching lives the way Ibrahim has been doing”
“He is indeed interested in the welfare of the people and I commend him for all that he has been able to do across the wards he has already visited,” Okunomo said.
He further stressed just as he prayed to God to crown all his efforts so that by his next birthday, it will be his swearing-in ceremony as Governor of Ondo State.
