“Oni has shown that politics is a call to service and not an avenue for self-enrichment. He is a gentle, calm, brilliant and articulate man to the core. His demeanor reflects wisdom, while his intellect continues to inspire both the young and old across party lines”

By John Odunayo
All Progressives Congress chieftain, Senator Ayo Arise, has congratulated a former Governor of Ekiti State, Chief Segun Oni, on the occasion of his 72nd birthday.
Arise, a former National Assembly member, said, “Chief Oni is an icon of good governance. His tenure as governor of Ekiti State remains exceptional, unparalleled and clinical. It stands as a reference point for purposeful leadership, infrastructural development and people-centered governance in the history of our dear state”.
The former federal lawmaker, in a congratulatory message made available to newsmen in Ado Ekiti on Sunday evening, said, “Beyond politics, Engr. Oni has demonstrated that leadership is about service.
“His selfless service and impeccable character deserve to be emulated by Nigerian politicians. He has shown, by example, that politics is a call to service and not an avenue for self-enrichment.
“He is a gentle, calm, brilliant and articulate man to the core. His demeanor reflects wisdom, while his intellect continues to inspire both the young and old across party lines.
“As he marks this milestone, I pray that Almighty God continues to bless him with good health, strength and more wisdom to keep contributing to the growth and development of Ekiti State and Nigeria at large.
“Happy 72nd birthday, Your Excellency. Ekiti and Nigeria celebrate you,” Senator Arise stated.
