People Oriented Leader With A Difference: Team Arapaja Hail Ex-Deputy Gov at Birthday

Members of Team Arapaja across Oyo State have joined political associates, supporters, and well-wishers to celebrate their leader, His Excellency, Ambassador Taofeek Arapaja, a former Deputy Governor of Oyo State, on the occasion of his birthday anniversary.

​In a congratulatory statement signed by Hon. Bamitale Ibrahim, a former PDP candidate in Oluyole Local Government and Personal Assistant to Ambassador Arapaja, described the day not merely as a celebration of another year, but as a tribute to a legacy of diplomacy, uncommon public service, and grassroots leadership.

​Reflecting on Arapaja’s public career, Team Arapaja highlighted his rare political trajectory across local, state, and national governance. “Over the decades, Ambassador Arapaja has served as a Local Government Chairman, a Member of the National Assembly, Deputy Governor of Oyo State, and a Nigerian Ambassador. Within party administration, his roles include serving as Vice Chairman (South West), Deputy National Chairman (South), and Interim National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) respectively.

​According to the statement, such breadth of experience sets Ambassador Arapaja apart from many of his political contemporaries.

​”One thing that sets him apart is his steadfast loyalty to any cause he believes in. With him, there is no double standard—loyalty is 100 per cent. His sacrifices over the years have directly and indirectly impacted thousands of lives across the state and beyond.” The statement noted.

​The group further lauded his political sagacity and bridge-building abilities, describing him as a strategic asset to any political group, organization or community he belongs to.

​Reaffirming their commitment as he marks another milestone, Team Arapaja pledged their unalloyed loyalty to their leader, stating, “Anywhere he goes, we go.”

They wish him a long life with sound health and greater height as he continues to render selfless service to his community, Oyo state and Nigeria as a whole.
