Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has felicitated his Abia counterpart, Alex Otti, on his 60th birthday.

Mr Sanwo-Olu spoke in a congratulatory message issued in Lagos on Tuesday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Gboyega Akosile.

He commended Mr Otti’s positive contribution to the growth and development of Nigeria, particularly the country’s economy.

“On behalf of my adorable wife, Ibijoke, the government, and the people of Lagos State, I join family, friends, political associates, and the people of Abia State to celebrate Governor Alex Otti on his 60th birthday. Governor Otti has contributed to our economy, particularly in the banking sector, where he distinguished himself before venturing into politics to serve as a governor. In less than two years in office, he has displayed exemplary leadership as a good manager of human and capital resources.

“He has delivered dividends of democracy to the people of Abia State. On this occasion of Governor Alex Otti’s diamond birthday celebration, I wish him good health and long life. I pray that God will give him more strength as he continues to render more service to humanity, Abia State, and Nigeria,” he said.

Mr Sanwo-Olu described the Abia State governor as a seasoned economist, banker, and philanthropist, using his wealth of experience to turn around Abia State.

He further described Mr Otti as a model of good governance in the South-East, especially in infrastructural development.
