Stephen Olufemi Oni, Ilorin
A socio-cultural organisation, under the aegis of ‘Omo Ibile Igbomina’, has felicitated the former Military Administrator of Bauchi and Osun States, Col. (Chief) Theophilus Oladapo Bamigboye (rtd.) on his 75th birthday anniversary.
The organisation, in a congratulatory message by its National Publicity Secretary, Barr. Bisi Adedayo, on Monday in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, described Bamigboye as a colossus worthy of celebrating.
“As a worthy son of Igbomina, we joined millions of your well-wishers in wishing you God’s guidance, favour, mercies and divine protection as you mark this epochal milestone.
“Your extraordinary life is a shining testament to unyielding excellence, unshakeable integrity and transformative leadership. As a consummate disciplinarian, your sterling qualities to duty no doubt, earned you the highest accolades in your military career as well as your visionary leadership, strategic brilliance and courage which inspired legions”, the statement noted.
The statement added: “Your monumental achievements as Military Administrator of Bauchi and Osun States speak volumes, given that you catalyzed transformative growth, fostered peace, and propelled socio-economic development and you restored peace and harmony in Ife/Modakeke in no space of time when you were at the helm of affairs then.
“It is on record that the Omu-Aran- born Bamigboye also launched groundbreaking projects, enhancing governance and citizens’ well-being during his public service as well as contributing selflessly to philanthropy and impacted positively to humanity, especially for the underprivileged and youth empowerment.
“Undoubtedly, you are a role model and embodiment of patriotism, selflessness and empathy. Your legacies will remain indelible on the sand of time as we celebrate your life of nobility, dignity, and fulfillment. As you attain this milestone, we pray for boundless health, happiness, and continued service to God and humanity.”
