The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, has congratulated the Afenifere leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, as he clocked 95 years.
Obi, in a congratulatory message on his Twitter handle, called him a “respected father-figure” and applauded his “resounding and consistent voice in preaching a better and egalitarian Nigeria”.
He tweeted: “On behalf of my family, I wish a very respected father-figure, Afenifere leader and elder statesman, Chief PA Ayo Adebanjo a very hearty happy birthday.
“Daddy, you have remained a resounding and consistent voice in preaching for a better and egalitarian Nigeria.
“I admire and respect above all, your courage in speaking up on bad governance and flawed public policies. Your patriotic fervour is exemplary.
“As you clock 95 years today, I thank God for the gift of your life to our nation and humanity.
“Your place in the annals of Nigeria’s history is secure. May God protect and bless you always with abundant health and happiness.”
