The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT),Nyesom Wike, has congratulated a former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, on his 65th birthday, describing him as “a valuable friend and brother.”
Mr Wike, in his letter of congratulation on Friday in Abuja, said Mr Fayose would never pretend about where he stands on issues.
He added that Mr Fayose remained a reference point in politics and governance in Nigeria.
Mr Wike said, “From the deepest part of my heart, I congratulate you on the occasion of your 65th Birthday, coming up on Saturday. That you have attained this age is no doubt a confirmation of the grace the Almighty God has bestowed on you, and a challenge for more service to our country, Nigeria.
“No doubt, at 65, you have remained a reference point in politics and governance in Nigeria. You are such a valuable friend and brother, who will never pretend about where he stands on issues. Ayodele my younger brother, may you reach the age of your elder brother in good health, and may God continue to make your days on earth fruitful, with immeasurable blessings.”
Mr Wike described Mr Fayose as a dependable ally, whose yes is yes, and no is no.
“Happy Birthday,” he prayed.
