President Tinubu Celebrates Honourable Adebisi Yusuff on His Birthday

 

Abuja, Nigeria — In a heartfelt statement released today, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu extended warm birthday felicitations to his political ally, Honourable Adebisi Yusuff. The President praised Yusuff’s service, leadership, and contributions at both the grassroots and state levels, highlighting his role in the All Progressives Congress (APC) and his wider impact in Lagos State.

President Tinubu began by addressing Honourable Yusuff directly, expressing his delight in joining family, friends, and the people of Lagos State in celebrating his birthday. “It is with great pleasure that I offer my felicitations to you on this special day,” the President’s statement read. “Today, we honour not only a birthday but a life committed to public service.”

He acknowledged the wide circle of support and admiration that surrounds Yusuff: “I join your family, friends, and the people of Lagos State to celebrate you today and always.”

In his tribute, the President described Honourable Yusuff as more than just a politician. He lauded him as “a people’s leader, mobilizer of consciences, lawmaker, financial expert, humanitarian, and — more importantly — a reliable political ally.” These designations were presented not as mere titles, but as reflections of Yusuff’s multifaceted influence in public life.

As the APC leader in Alimosho Local Government Area, Yusuff was recognized for providing stability, direction, and grassroots mobilization for the Tinubu administration’s “Renewed Hope Agenda.” According to the statement, his efforts have helped strengthen party structures and rally resources toward the administration’s goal of “spreading prosperity and transforming lives” in Nigeria’s critical low-income communities.

President Tinubu’s tribute proceeded to summarize Honourable Yusuff’s record in public offices. He served as a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, representing Alimosho Constituency 1, from 2011 to 2023 — a full twelve years in the legislature. Prior to or alongside that role, he also held the position of Chairman of the Ipaja/Ayobo Local Council Development Area.

Within the Lagos State Assembly, Yusuff is credited with chairing several influential committees. The statement singles out his leadership of the Public Accounts (Local) Committee and the Commerce Committee, where his oversight and direction “made an impact,” particularly over budgetary matters and commercial regulation at the local level. The President’s words suggest that Yusuff was trusted with key responsibilities in monitoring public funds and shaping policies that affect trade and business in Lagos.

Beyond government service, the President highlighted Yusuff’s humanitarian side by referencing the Prince Hope Turns to Reality Foundation (PHTRF), a non-profit organization Yusuff established. The Foundation is noted for delivering healthcare services and empowerment initiatives to vulnerable populations within Alimosho and Lagos more broadly. Through the Foundation, countless individuals have reportedly benefitted from medical assistance, training, and support — translating Yusuff’s political influence into tangible acts of compassion and social uplift.

President Tinubu’s tribute emphasized that this blend of public duty and personal philanthropy is what underlies Yusuff’s reputation as a leader attentive to both policy and people.

On the occasion of his birthday, President Tinubu extended warm and sincere wishes: “I wish you many years of good health, wisdom, and strength as you continue to provide leadership and guidance in your community and beyond.” The words reflect a desire for Yusuff to remain vigorous and active in public life.

The statement also underlines that Yusuff’s contributions are valued not just within Lagos State or his constituency, but in the broader political project of national renewal and grassroots engagement.

By issuing this public tribute, the Presidency underscores Honourable Yusuff’s standing in the APC and his importance in the political landscape of Lagos and beyond. It signals that his efforts at mobilizing support, maintaining party unity, and implementing development projects are recognized at the highest level.

The tribute is also a message to party members and constituents: that loyalty, competence, and service are appreciated by the party leadership. It may further serve to boost morale among local party structures, affirming that those who contribute earn respect and recognition.

In sum, the Statehouse communiqué offers a formal, yet warm, acknowledgment of Honourable Adebisi Yusuff’s public life and character. It balances praise for his political and legislative achievements with acknowledgement of his social and humanitarian work. By doing so, the President paints a holistic portrait of Yusuff as not only a committed politician but as someone who has sought to bridge governance with service to the people.

As the celebrations continue in Lagos State and beyond, the tribute invites all who follow Nigeria’s political scene to pause and reflect on the role that dedicated, community-oriented leaders play in shaping democratic institutions, party movements, and local development.

On this special day, the President’s message is clear: Honourable Adebisi Yusuff has earned the esteem of many — and he is wished strength, wisdom, and continued service in the years ahead.
