HOW EKITI SPEAKER ADEOYE ARIBASOYE PENNED GLOWING TRIBUTES TO PIONEER SPEAKER, RT HON KOLA ADEFEMI AT 66
Dear Rt. Hon. Kola Adefemi,
It is with immense respect and heartfelt admiration that I celebrate you, the trailblazing pioneer and esteemed former Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly. Your leadership was characterized by dexterity, vision, and unwavering dedication, and you laid a solid foundation that we continue to build upon today.
You are a cerebral leader, a legal juggernaut, and a man of remarkable class and good taste. Your unique style of fashion always exuded confidence and elegance, reflecting the high standards you uphold. As a young man then, I closely followed the proceedings of the Ekiti State House of Assembly under your leadership with admiration. The lessons I learned during those formative years are still very much with me, guiding my decisions and actions as I serve as the current Speaker of the same and now the 7th Assembly.
I consider it a privilege to know you personally. As I have always called you, *”our own number one,”* your exemplary leadership continue to inspire me and many others. Your legacy is etched in the annals of Ekiti’s legislative history, and your influence remains a guiding light for all of us.
On behalf of all members of the 7th Ekiti State House of Assembly, I wish you robust health, long life, and continued prosperity. May Almighty God bless you abundantly for your immense contributions to our state and nation.
As the great Nelson Mandela once said, “A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.” You embody this truth in every sense.
Thank you for being a shining example of leadership, class, and integrity. We pray for more years of good health, happiness, and divine guidance.
With deep respect and warm regards,
*Rt. Hon. Adeoye Stephen Aribasoye*
Speaker, Ekiti State House of Assembly
