I wish all fathers a joyful and fulfilling Father's Day celebration. May God bless you abundantly and grant you good health, wisdom, and strength to continue impacting lives positively.

I received the Deputy Inspector General of Police in charge of the South-West, DIG Fayoade Adegoke, on behalf of Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa in Akure today.

The DIG commended the Ondo State Government for its sustained support to security agencies, noting that the collaboration between the state and the Police has continued to yield positive results.

We remain committed to strengthening partnerships with security agencies and leveraging technology and intelligence-driven strategies to ensure the safety and security of all residents of Ondo State.

Yesterday, I joined other distinguished guests in Ile-Oluji to celebrate a remarkable milestone, the 10th Coronation Anniversary of His Imperial Majesty, Oba (Dr) Olufaderin Oluwole Adetimehin Jimoko II, the 31st Jegun Olu-Ekun and Paramount Ruler of Ile-Oluji Kingdom.

Representing Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, I conveyed his warm felicitations to Kabiyesi and commended his decade of purposeful leadership, characterised by peace, unity, stability, and a deep-rooted commitment to the growth and development of Ile-Oluji Kingdom.

Traditional institutions remain invaluable partners in our collective quest for peace, security, and sustainable development. As a government, we will continue to strengthen this partnership for the benefit of our people.

I congratulate Kabiyesi, the chiefs, and the good people of Ile-Oluji Kingdom on this historic occasion and pray that the Almighty grants His Imperial Majesty many more years of sound health, wisdom, and a prosperous reign.

Congratulations, Kabiyesi. May the years ahead usher in even greater peace, progress, and prosperity for Ile-Oluji Kingdom.

Today, as we commemorate Democracy Day, I join millions of Nigerians in celebrating our collective journey towards democratic governance and national development.

June 12 remains a defining moment in our nation's history, symbolising the resilience, courage, and aspirations of the Nigerian people for a united, peaceful, and prosperous country.

As we reflect on the sacrifices of those who fought for democracy, let us renew our commitment to the ideals of good governance, justice, unity, and responsible citizenship.

I urge us all to continue to support efforts aimed at building a stronger nation where peace, progress, and shared prosperity thrive.

Happy Democracy Day.

Among my engagements on Sunday was the 60th Birthday Thanksgiving Service and Investiture of Lace Superior Elder Sister Mercy Daudu as Iya Eso of the Celestial Church of Christ, Agunloye Cathedral, Akure.

The occasion, which also coincided with the church's Juvenile Harvest Celebration, was a remarkable gathering of faith, gratitude, and service to God.

I congratulate Lace Superior Elder Sister Mercy Daudu on this well-deserved recognition and pray that God grants her greater wisdom, strength, and grace to excel in her new spiritual responsibility.

As we pray for the speedy release of the children in captivity, I commend the leadership and members of the church for their commitment to nurturing the younger generation in the fear of God through the Juvenile Harvest Celebration.

May this milestone inspire continued unity, love, and selfless service within the body of Christ and our society at large.

Yesterday, I joined family, friends, and associates to celebrate the 50th birthday of Mr Olufemi Olafunmiloye, MD/CEO of Lafbart Innovations & Consulting LTD, Akure.

The occasion also featured the unveiling of innovative automobile products by Lafbart, including a tricycle and an off-road patrol vehicle, both proudly manufactured with about 65% local content.

I commend Mr Olafunmiloye for his commitment to innovation, indigenous technology, and enterprise development. His achievements demonstrate the immense potential of local ingenuity in driving economic growth and industrial advancement.

I congratulate him on this remarkable milestone and wish him many more years of good health, fulfilment, and groundbreaking innovations.

Yesterday, I represented Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa at the retirement ceremony held in honour of the immediate past Head of Service of Ondo State, Mr Bayo Philips.

During his tenure, Mr Philips distinguished himself through visionary leadership and a commitment to strengthening the public service. He championed several reforms aimed at improving the welfare and working conditions of civil servants and successfully oversaw the recruitment of more than 3,000 officers across various cadres into the state civil service.

As he bows out of active service, I congratulate this accomplished administrator and proud son of Ilaje on a remarkable career marked by dedication, excellence and impactful service to Ondo State. I wish him a fulfilling and rewarding retirement.

I also congratulate his successor, Chief Segun Odusanya, a seasoned bureaucrat whose wealth of experience and professionalism position him well to build on the solid foundation laid by his predecessor and take the state public service to even greater heights.

June is here.

A new month presents another opportunity to strive, grow, and make meaningful progress.

May the days ahead be fruitful, rewarding, and filled with reasons to be grateful.

Wishing you a peaceful and prosperous June.

I received with deep sadness the news of the passing of Arabirin Yetunde Shakirat Adesanya, the Southwest Zonal Woman Leader of our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Arabirin Adesanya was a committed party loyalist, passionate mobilizer, and courageous advocate for the participation of women in politics and governance. Her dedication to the growth of our party and her invaluable contributions to strengthening the APC across the Southwest will remain indelible in our hearts.

Her departure is a painful loss not only to the APC family but also to the countless women and young people she inspired through her leadership, service, and exemplary character.

I extend my heartfelt condolences to her immediate family, the leadership and members of our party. I pray that Almighty God grants her eternal rest and gives her loved ones the strength and comfort to bear this irreparable loss.

On this special occasion of his 66th birthday, I join family, friends and well-wishers in celebrating a distinguished leader, administrator and statesman, His Excellency, Prince Dr. Dapo Abiodun - MFR, CON, Governor of Ogun State.

Mr Governor, may God grant you continued strength, wisdom, sound health, and many more years of impactful service to humanity.

Happy Birthday, Your Excellency.
