In a tribute released to mark the milestone, Lemo described Obasanjo as a distinguished statesman whose life and service continue to shape Nigeria’s democratic development and Africa’s diplomatic standing.
“Baba, I join the Nigerian people, particularly your devoted sons and daughters from Ogun State, and countless admirers worldwide, in extending my heartfelt congratulations on the momentous occasion of your 89th birthday,” Lemo stated.
He praised Obasanjo’s lifelong dedication to national development, democratic consolidation, and peace advocacy, noting that his leadership continues to inspire generations within Nigeria and across the continent.
Lemo prayed for the former president’s continued health and longevity, adding that his legacy of leadership, integrity, and patriotism remains an enduring beacon for all.
