NO ORDINARY FETE...ABIODUN AKINLADE PLANS GRAND 50TH BIRTHDAY SOIREE
At 50, Honourable Abiodun Akinlade is every inch a gracious champ. Like most champs, he makes a good first impression. As he clocks 50, his story pulsates a pleasurable lore of labour, perseverance, reinvention and accomplishment. Yes, Akinlade exudes an uncanny mélange of zeal and fervor that becomes his charm. Intellectually, he flaunts a visceral approach that only a few of his contemporaries can rival. Hard work has designed him a wide-grin and leads him across the lane of fame to the realization of his dreams. With a sharp mind devoid of any ambiguity, no one needed a fortune-teller to know that this was a man who is not easily cowed by sentiments. From business to politics, he exhibits infectious tact and stamina characteristic of the man of great intellect and perspectives that are at once refreshing and edifying. Abiodun Isiaq Akinlade is 50. All roads lead to Owode-Yewa, Ogun State on Saturday, March 25, as the three-term former House of Representatives member rolls out the drum and fetes well wishers at the grand celebration of his 50th birthday.
Akinlade, who is one of the governorship hopefuls in Ogun State by 2019, will also add another feather to his cap with his turbaning as the Baba Adinni of Yewa land on the same day. Expected to grace the occasion are eminent politicians including the Ogun State governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun; Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara; his deputy, Yusuf Lasun; lawmakers from both chambers of the National Assembly, Speakers of state assemblies, traditional rulers, political and religious leaders, members of the organised private sector, among others.
Despite stepping aside after 12 years of dutiful representation, the suave politician still enjoys a cult-like popularity within the state, empowers and supports his people and this has continued to aid his towering aspiration for Oke Mosan government house in 2019.
