Senator (Dr.) Sharafadeen Alli (APC–Oyo South) has extended heartfelt felicitations to two prominent leaders from Oyo State — Senator (Dr.) Abdulfatai Buhari (Oyo North) on his birthday, and former Senate Leader, Senator Teslim Folarin, on his elevation as the Agbaakin Olubadan of Ibadanland.
In a statement personally signed and released to newsmen on Friday in Ibadan, Senator Alli described Senator Buhari as a distinguished parliamentarian and patriotic Nigerian whose exemplary service continues to contribute meaningfully to national development.
He noted that Buhari has remained consistent in championing good governance, promoting the welfare of his constituents, and advancing impactful legislation that resonates across Oyo North and the nation. Alli praised his colleague’s leadership style, which he said reflects humility, dedication, courage and a strong commitment to the public good.
According to him, Senator Buhari’s loyalty to the progressive ideology and his stabilising role within the All Progressives Congress (APC) further underscore his reputation as a dependable lawmaker and strategist. He prayed that Almighty Allah grant him long life, sound health and renewed strength in the service of Nigeria.
In the same statement, Senator Alli, who is also the Ekaarun Balogun of Ibadanland, congratulated Senator Teslim Folarin on his elevation as the Agbaakin Olubadan of Ibadanland by the Olubadan, Oba (Sen.) Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja.
He said the honour was a well-deserved recognition of Folarin’s decades of contributions to the socio-political and cultural development of Ibadanland, describing him as a leader whose influence and public service record continue to stand out.
Alli commended the Olubadan for the elevation, which he said reflects the steady growth, unity and progress currently witnessed in Ibadanland under the revered stool. He expressed confidence that Folarin’s new role would further strengthen traditions, promote peace and bolster development across the ancient city.
The Oyo South senator prayed for divine guidance for Folarin as he takes on the important responsibilities associated with the Agbaakin title, encouraging him to continue upholding the values of honour, service and commitment to the collective good of Ibadanland.
Senator Alli described both occasions — Senator Buhari’s birthday and Folarin’s elevation — as proud moments for Oyo State, noting that the people stand to benefit immensely from the continued leadership and dedication of the two distinguished sons of the state.
