President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces for his magnanimity for
the extension of tenure of our son, General Abayomi Olonisakin, as the Chief of
Defence Staff.
“Buhari is God-sent and
wants a better Nigeria. Buhari recognises hard work and dedication to service
that’s why he has extended his (Olonisakin) service.
“With this singular action,
Ode Ekiti people are very much grateful to Mr. President and we wish him and
his government every success.”

politics, I belong to every government and everybody. We commend the governor
in whose time the appointment and extension were made. We commend him for his
efforts to transforming Ekiti.

wish him a happy birthday and more years with good health.
