It gladdens my heart to celebrate a patriotic Nigerian, statesman and a pathfinder at 90.
General Yakubu Gowon (Rtd), former Head of State of Nigeria, wears nobility upon himself in the onerous service to our nation.
His footprints remain indelible. Notable among those is his great initiative of the National Youths Service Corps which was designed to perfectly give every young person a touch of unity in our diversity while proudly being clad with the badge of honour to serve our nation.
On behalf of the people and government of Ondo state, I congratulate the General who’s not tired to serve our country even at 90.
May the Lord keep him healthy and strong to witness more years of meritorious service to humanity.
Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa
Governor of Ondo State.
