All Set For Amosun’s 60th Birthday

If Ogun State governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, were a stock traded on the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange, it would cost a fortune to acquire even a single share. Such is the massive appreciation in the governor’s popularity since he took over the running of affairs in the Gateway State. Little wonder power brokers, captains of industry and celebrities are getting set to celebrate him as he turns 60.

Friends and associates of the two-term governor are prepared to shake the earth in ensuring that the welfarist governor has a diamond jubilee to remember, especially as this is likely to be his final big celebration before he vacates office next year.

The dude from Ogun Central is one of the rare souls whose popularity has enjoyed meteoric rise on the back of their people-oriented policies. Elected to the Senate in 2003, he became the governor of Ogun State at the second attempt in 2011 and easily won a second term four years later.

Under him, Ogun State has transformed from a relative wasteland to a land brimming with opportunities for investors.
