The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio has sent his felicitations to the Leader of the Senate, Michael Opeyemi Bamidele, on the occasion of his 60th birthday.
Akpabio, in a statement by his media office, described Senator Bamidele as a “civil rights activist from his youth, brilliant lawyer, principled politician and a true disciple of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
“I join his family, friends and political associates to celebrate this very distinguished parliamentarian, as he reaches this milestone.
“As we rejoice with Senator Bamidele on this occasion, we remember with trepidation his near tragic experience of June 2018 when he was hit by bullets on a campaign rostrum in Ekiti but we thank the Almighty God for His mercies and loving kindness which ensured his survival.
“His vast experience garnered through years of legislative activism in the National Assembly since 2011 are assets which shall definitely assist him to succeed in his new assignment as Leader of the 10th Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” Akpabio said.
The Senate President further wished Senator Bamidele, many more years of service to humanity and good health of body and mind.
