The President of the Amalgamated Commercial Motorcycle, Tricycle Owners, Riders and Repairers Association of Nigeria (ACOMORAN), Alhaji Samsudeen Apelogun, has joined family members, friends, and well-wishers in celebrating Mrs. Victoria Olaitan Abiodun, the mother of the Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, on her 90th birthday anniversary.
In a congratulatory message issued to newsmen in Abeokuta on Wednesday, Alhaji Apelogun described the nonagenarian as a rare woman of virtue, grace, and godliness whose life has been a source of inspiration to many across generations.
He noted that attaining the age of 90 in sound health and happiness is a divine blessing worthy of celebration.
According to him, Mama Abiodun’s remarkable journey through life exemplifies resilience, faith, and dedication to family and community values.
“Mama has lived a life full of grace and impact. Her guidance and motherly counsel have shaped many lives, including that of our amiable Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, whose leadership style reflects her moral upbringing,” he said.
The ACOMORAN President commended Mrs. Abiodun for her unwavering faith in God and her commitment to raising her children in the fear of the Lord.
He said her legacy of humility, hard work, and compassion continues to reflect in the public service of her son, the Governor.
Apelogun also lauded Prince Dapo Abiodun for upholding the values and virtues instilled in him by his mother, noting that Ogun State has witnessed remarkable progress under his administration in various sectors, particularly in infrastructure, education, and human development.
He said that the Governor’s humane disposition and inclusive governance style are a clear reflection of his noble upbringing.
“When you see a leader who listens, cares, and delivers for the people, you can trace that to the foundation laid by a good mother. Mama Abiodun’s prayers and guidance are indeed evident in the success story of Ogun State today,” he added.
Apelogun prayed that God would continue to strengthen and preserve the nonagenarian in good health, peace, and joy to witness more fruitful years surrounded by her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
He called on Nigerians to emulate the virtues of the celebrant, describing her as a symbol of discipline, love, and patience.
“In a society where moral values are fading, Mama Abiodun stands as a beacon of light, reminding us that character, integrity, and faith are lasting legacies,” he said.
Apelogun congratulated the Abiodun family for celebrating such a significant milestone and urged them to continue cherishing the bond of love and unity that their matriarch represents.
