Today, I celebrate a man worth emulating — my father.
A true example of grass to grace, he embodies resilience, discipline, and wisdom.

A PhD holder, even in retirement, with three Master’s degrees to his name, he has shown that learning truly never ends.
A retired Navy Commodore of the highest integrity, a man who leads with peace and always seeks the best for his people.
My father is old school — my analog father — yet timeless in his values, humility, and principles.

You have become a father not just to me, but to so many within Ido Local Government and Oyo State at large.
Your impeccable role, selfless service, and unwavering commitment to the good of others are deeply appreciated.


In you, we find a voice, a guide, and a constant reminder that true leadership is service.
I pray that you witness many more birthdays in good health, happiness, and prosperity.
Thank you, sir. God bless you, sir — and God bless all of us as we celebrate you today.
God bless Ido Local Government.
God bless Oyo State.
God bless Nigeria.

Signed,
Hammed Ademola Babalola
