Due to the prevailing gloom in the country and the World at large, we, the Organisers, have decided to scale down the above-named ceremony, as a sign of solidarity, pity and sympathy with the general Public on the economic situation of the Country, which now calls for all hands to be on deck immediately to assist this determined and promising Government in whatever way we can, towards steering the National Ship out of the painful effects of various economic reforms, as soon as possible for our collective relief and economic recovery.
It will be recalled that the Celebrant, 5 years ago had similarly scaled down his 70th Birthday Celebration, due to the then ravaging COVID – 19, and the Lekki Lagos shootout to scare away the teeming Protesters that layed siege on the major Express Way for days, as against the initial appeal by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, during his physical meeting with their Representatives’ at his Office
The Celebration, which was initially billed to hold at Wole Soyinka Theatre, University of Ibadan (UI) Ibadan Oyo State, starts 10.00am with earlier arrival of some Prominent Imams from the family’s side, who shall offer prayers for the Celebrant, Ibadan, Yorubaland and Nigeria, as a whole, at his Akobo General Gas home, in Ibadan.
The Lunch that could best described as private, will later be served at this same venue to our invited Guests, Professional Colleagues of the Celebrant, Ibadan Southeast (IBSE) Local Government Traditional Council Chambers.
