Friends Celebrate Governor Dapo Abiodun At 66

Since stepping onto the political stage, he has shaped Ogun’s industrialisation, renewed its economy, sparked an agricultural renaissance, and lifted the Gateway State into a new phase of transformation.

On May 29, he marked his 66th birthday, and it was fitting that a circle of friends from business and politics came together to celebrate him.

The gathering read like a roll call of Nigeria’s who’s who.

From the business world came A-list titans: Alhaji Aliko Dangote of the Dangote Group; Dr. Olusegun Olugboyegun of the JOF Group of Companies; Femi Otedola of Zenon Petroleum and Gas; Segun Alebiosu, Managing Director of First Bank; and Wale Tinubu of Oando Plc.

From the political arena, the celebration drew governor and kingmakers alike: Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara State; Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, former Speaker of the House of Representatives and now Chief of Staff to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; Otunba Bimbo Ashiru, Chairman of the Odua Group of Companies; and Feyi Bali.

Surrounded by friends, peers, and partners, Governor Dapo Abiodun’s 66th was more than a birthday—it was a testament to a life of enterprise, service, and impact, honored by those who know him best.
