great source of inspiration and role model to the younger generation.
“On behalf of my family, the Government and the people of
Lagos State, I wish Oba Gbadebo a happy birthday and pray that the Almighty God
continues to bestow on his Majesty, wisdom for a continuous reign of peace,
prosperity and love in Egbaland.
“As Oba Gbadebo marks this milestone, it is my
