FELICITATIONS AND BEST WISHES AS YOU STEP IN AS MINISTER OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA
There is no hiding place for a Gold-Fish I President Bola Tinubu has done it, fishing you out, convincing you to accept to serve as Minister in his cabinet! We congratulate our President for that feat.
We know and acknowledge you as one of the very few astute, most brilliant and iconic legal minds that this country has been able to produce. Your trajectory in the legal profession is awesome and a thing of pride to us, your brothers and sisters in Islam.
An uncommon personality: How is it possible to combine ‘nobility’ of being born great as a Prince and the spirit of unparalled “humility and simplicity’. These, in spite of the fact that Allah (swt) has blessed you with tremendous provision. We thank Allah for you, wa lillahil hamd.
While appreciating the many unforgettable great things you have done and continue to do for various organisations and individuals in Oyo State, fisabillillah, we pray Allah continues to replenish you most abundantly
This is also to express our best wishes that you succeed and shine and be acknowledged globally, as you become MINISTER OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.
We shall be ceaseless in praying for your success. We are very proud of you.
May Almighty Allah guide all your ways and protect you from all evils, Aamin.
Yours in Islam.
