Sanusi Celebrates Oduyoye, Mutiat Ladoja on Birthdays
The Okanlomo Oodua and Gbonka Olubadan, Chief Jubril Dotun Sanusi has felicitated Honourable Babatunde Oduyoye and Her Excellency Olori Mutiat Yinka Ladoja on their birthdays, celebrating their contributions to humanity and the positive impact they have made in the lives of others.
In a felicitating and goodwill statement made available to journalists on Thursday, Sanusi described Oduyoye as a “leader of leaders,” praising his character, loyalty, humility and steadfast commitment to the people around him.
According to him, leadership goes beyond occupying a position or carrying a title, as it requires the courage to stand with people during difficult moments and the humility to remember those who have walked the journey together.
Sanusi said, “There are people we encounter in life whose presence goes far beyond words. Their character speaks for them, their loyalty gives strength to others, and the footprints they leave in people’s hearts remain long after the moment has passed.”
He prayed that Almighty God would remember and reward the sacrifices Oduyoye had made, grant him sound health and bless him with many more years filled with peace, joy, honour and fulfilment.
Speaking on Olori Mutiat Ladoja, Sanusi described her as a compassionate mother whose dedication to humanity, particularly children living with disabilities, reflected a deep commitment to lifting vulnerable people and giving hope to families who may feel forgotten.
He said her efforts had demonstrated that true royalty was not merely about the crown, but about the love, compassion and responsibility carried within one’s heart.
Sanusi stated, “Your life reminds us that true royalty is not merely about the crown upon one’s head, it is about the love, compassion and responsibility carried within one’s heart.”
He prayed that every child whose life Olori Mutiat had touched would become a testimony of the goodness of her heart, while asking God to preserve her in excellent health and grant her many more beautiful and fulfilling years.
Sanusi also prayed that the children and families of both celebrants would continue to bring them joy, while their years ahead would be filled with divine favour, peace, happiness and abundant grace.
He wished Oduyoye and Olori Mutiat Ladoja many more years upon the land of the living, saying their lives of service, compassion and impact would remain a lasting legacy for generations to come.
