Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu has congratulated an Elder Statesman, Pa Bisi Akande on his 85th birthday, tomorrow, January 16, 2024.
In a congratulatory message on Monday, Kalu expressed gratitude to God for the grace of longevity given to Pa Akande.
He described Pa Akande, a former Governor of Osun State and first Interim National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as a great leader who has continued to pursue the unity and progress of Nigeria with zeal and zest.
Kalu recalled Pa Akande’s commitment to peace which he conspicuously shown when he recently received the delegation of Peace In South East Project (PISE-P) in Abuja, stressing that the Octogenarian is indeed, a father figure and detribalized Nigerian.
The Deputy Speaker who noted the father and son relationship that exists between him and Pa Akande prays God to continue to grant the national leader many more years in good health.
