The Founder of the Akin-Akintunde Foundation, Amb. Akintayo Akintunde, has extended warm birthday wishes to the former Senate Spokesman and legal icon, Senator Dr. Surajudeen Ajibola Basiru, describing him as a “visionary leader and a patriot with an unshakable commitment to national development.”
In a statement released on Tuesday, Akintayo lauded the Senator’s contributions to Nigeria’s legislative and constitutional development, praising his “bold voice in the Red Chamber” and unwavering commitment to justice, equity, and people-oriented representation.
“Senator Basiru’s journey has been nothing short of inspirational,” Akintayo noted. “His passion for national progress, his legislative excellence, and his deep legal insight have earned him a distinguished place in Nigeria’s political history.”
Akintayo emphasized that the Osun-born Senator has continued to inspire a new generation of leaders by exemplifying what true leadership entails—integrity, vision, and results, not mere titles.
“As we celebrate his birth today, we equally celebrate the legacy he is building—one that speaks of service, excellence, and transformational leadership,” the statement read.
He prayed for continued wisdom, sound health, and divine strength for the Senator as he continues to serve the nation with dedication.
“Happy birthday once again, Distinguished Senator,” Akintayo concluded. “May your new age usher in greater accomplishments and a deeper fulfillment of purpose.”
