The member representing Ibadan North Constituency 2 in the Oyo State House of Assembly, Hon. Adebayo Babajide Gabriel, popularly known across Oyo State’s political landscape as Jagaban of the 9th and 10th Assembly has extended warm and heartfelt birthday felicitations to his distinguished colleague, Hon. Akintunde Olajide (AKT), praising him as one of the most dependable, visionary, and development-driven lawmakers of this era.
In a celebratory message released on Wednesday, Hon. Gabriel described AKT as a rare blend of legislative brilliance, humility, and unwavering loyalty to the ideals of good governance.
According to him, AKT’s political journey reflects courage, maturity, and a deep sense of duty that has continued to enrich the Oyo State House of Assembly.
He noted that as Chairman of the House Committee on Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, AKT has consistently demonstrated a refined leadership style, one built on fairness, calm judgement, and firm commitment to strengthening institutions at the grassroots.
Hon. Gabriel emphasized that many of the stability and developmental gains witnessed by local councils today owe much to AKT’s tactful engagement and mature handling of sensitive issues affecting local governance and traditional institutions.
As a colleague who has worked closely with him through the 9th and 10th Assembly, Gabriel stated that AKT embodies what modern legislative representation should be: people-centered, reform-minded, and result-oriented.
He added that AKT’s legislative inputs, interventions, and oversight engagements continue to reflect positively across constituencies, with clear impacts on community development, stakeholder engagement, and policy advancement.
Describing the celebrant as “a disciplined gentleman whose modest lifestyle conceals a powerhouse of intellect and capacity,” Hon. Gabriel said AKT remains one of the most trusted lawmakers who bridge the gap between policy formulation and the actual needs of the people.
While praying for long life, wisdom, and renewed strength for the lawmaker, the Jagaban of Ibadan North Constituency 2 affirmed that Oyo State still needs voices like AKT, experienced, calm, strategic, and deeply committed to the people.
He concluded by wishing him a prosperous new year filled with grace, breakthroughs, and greater accomplishments in service to humanity and the State.
