Today marks a glorious existence of an accomplished accountant of international repute and a leader of great substance, Chief Adelabu Abdul-Waheed Penkelemesi. I join thousands of political espousers, allies and well wishers to congratulate and felicitate Power Minister, Adelabu Waheed Penkelemisi, on the occasion of his new age.
Without a shadow of a doubt, you are one of the best brain born and bred in Ibadan, and I am on cloud nine to have associated with you. You are an astute accountant per excellence, a technocrat by calling and a politician by ordain. You are a shining light in darkness, symbol of hope and inspiration to all of us. Oyo State would have become a cynosure of all eyes and witnessed unprecedented development if your were the Chief overseer.
Dear Power Minister, your passionate efforts to revamp the ministry have paid off, and Nigerians are feeling your significant impacts. You are succeeding where your predecessors have failed woefully. We are super proud of your groundbreaking achievements so far, and you are encouraged to do more. The world is your oyster. Your mandate is rekindled come 2027.
On this occasion of your birthday, may the Lord grant you longevity of life, sound health, wisdom to revamp the ministry to the expectation of Nigerians and understanding to navigate through your political endeavours. Wishing you the most indelible celebration.
