“55 Years of life lessons. I am in a reflective mood today as I mark my birthday during these times even as governance takes priority”.

“We have been through a lot as a people these past months and I am thankful for life, family, Lagos and the hope of a better future for us all”.

Sanwo-Olu further celebrated Speaker of the Nigerian House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, as they both marked their birthdays on June 25.

“To my friend, brother and birthday mate- Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila.
It is my prayer that the good Lord continues to keep you in good health and grants you the wisdom to do the will of the people by putting their interests above yours.
Happy birthday my dear Brother. God bless you”, the Governor wrote.

Sanwo-Olu described Gbajabiamila as “a dogged, determined and hardworking parliamentarian, who sees everyone as a human first and a Nigerian second, irrespective of tribe, religion, political affiliation and belief”.
