President Bola Tinubu felicitates with former governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo state on his 70th birthday and rejoices with him for attaining the biblical milestone of three scores and ten.
The President, in unison with family, friends, and associates, expresses gratitude to God for preserving the life of the esteemed medical doctor, who is fondly called Iroko.
He recalls Mimiko’s activism as a student union leader and his struggle with like minds to retrieve his mandate from usurpers in 2009, which inspired similar struggles.
According to President Tinubu, Dr Mimiko’s contributions to his state and the nation as a commissioner for health at two different times, as minister of housing, secretary to the Ondo State Government, and governor from 2009 to 2017, are deeply appreciated.
The President commends Mimiko’s achievements as a political leader and trailblazer. He was the first governor produced by the Labour Party.
Tinubu says Mimiko’s sacrifices and leadership style have earned him recognition as a grassroots, people-oriented leader.
The President prays that almighty God will continue to grant the former governor wisdom and good health.
He hopes Dr. Mimiko will actively participate in Nigeria’s development and contribute to its prosperous future.
