As the Aare Musulumi of Yorubaland, Edo and Delta States, I, Alhaji Dawud Makanjuola Akinola on behalf of myself, all Ummah in Oyo State & Yorubaland, Edo & Delta States join all well-wishers across Nigeria and beyond to heartily rejoice with and celebrate my father the Chief Imam of Ibadanland, Grand Imam of Oyo State and Grand Patron of the League of Imams and Alfas of Yorubaland, Edo and Delta States; His Eminence, Sheikh Abubakri Abdulganiy Agbotomokekere on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of his birth today, May 4, 2025.
This day is not merely a date on the calendar, it is a moment to honour a man whose life has been a continuous embodiment of piety, leadership, humility, philanthropy and unrelenting dedication to the cause of Ummah & Islam in General.
Baba Agbotomokekere has, through the mercy of Allah, become a towering symbol of spiritual authority and moral clarity in our society. His leadership has been marked by wisdom, patience and a tireless pursuit of harmony within the Ummah and the larger society.
His words inspire, his actions teach and his presence comforts. We are indeed blessed to witness and benefit from his rare gift of guidance.
On this auspicious occasion, I pray that Almighty Allah continues to preserve him in good health, strengthen him in faith and grant him many more blessed years of impactful service to Islam and humanity. May his life remain a shining light for generations to come.
Happy birthday to my spiritual father, teacher, and guiding light, Sheikh Abubakri Abdulganiy Agbotomokekere.
