In a grand outpouring of admiration and well-wishes, the political landscape of Osun State is reverberating with celebrations as friends, associates, party faithful, and admirers from across the federation mark the birthday of a political titan and revered elder statesman, Honourable Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, the current Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State.

Among the numerous tributes, one of the most resounding and heartfelt came from Hon. Chief Adeniyi Ismail Oluwatosin (AIO), a prominent APC chieftain and hopeful candidate for the House of Representatives representing Boluwaduro, Ifedayo, and Ila Federal Constituency. AIO described Hon. Lawal as “a sterling example of selfless leadership, political maturity, and institutional loyalty,” noting that his genuine dedication to the ideals of the progressive movement has positioned him as a father figure and moral compass within the party.

According to Hon. AIO, “This day is not only a commemoration of the birth of a man, but a celebration of an era, an era defined by wisdom, stability, consistency, and principled leadership. Hon. Sooko Tajudeen Lawal is not simply a chairman in title, he is a cultivator of unity, a bridge-builder between generations, and a voice of clarity in moments of chaos.”

The celebrant, whose tenure as APC Chairman has been marked by strategic repositioning, internal cohesion, and tireless grassroots engagement, is credited with playing a pivotal role in fostering harmony among diverse interests within the party. From managing complex political dynamics to championing inclusive decision-making, Hon. Lawal is widely seen as a stabilizing force whose presence continues to uplift both emerging and established leaders within the Osun APC.

“Under your chairmanship,” AIO added, “we have seen a reinvigoration of the progressive ideals that define our identity. You have led with firmness, but never without fairness. You have listened without prejudice and spoken without arrogance. Your leadership embodies the rare combination of political tact, spiritual humility, and administrative diligence.”

In his tribute, AIO emphasized that one of Hon. Lawal’s most remarkable attributes is his uncanny ability to remain both a strategist and a statesman, balancing the demands of party politics with the broader needs of the people. He noted that the celebrant’s depth of experience, calm demeanor, and policy-oriented mindset have earned him admiration across party lines.

Beyond party politics, Hon. Lawal is lauded for his quiet but far-reaching philanthropic gestures, his investment in youth empowerment, and his enduring belief in the transformative power of good governance. His legacy, AIO stated, will not be written only in party documents or political archives, but in the hearts of ordinary people whose lives have been touched by his decisions and directives.

While wishing him long life, sound health, and continued relevance, AIO expressed hope that the coming years will see Hon. Lawal’s voice grow even louder in national conversations around party reforms, internal democracy, and people-centered leadership.

He concluded with these words:

 “May this new age strengthen your resolve to keep building, to keep mentoring, and to keep holding the lantern of progress high for all of us to follow. You are not just a political leader, but also a generational gift, a pillar of reason, and a beacon of discipline. Happy birthday, our Chairman, our Mentor, our Father.”
