President Bola Tinubu congratulates Prince Bayo Osiyemi, a veteran journalist, politician, and community leader, on his 75th birthday on February 4.
Popularly called “Charming Prince,” Osiyemi was a former Chairman of Mushin Local Government, newspaper editor and Chief Press Secretary to the first civilian Governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande (1979-1983).
President Tinubu underlines Osiyemi’s contributions to Lagos as a prominent All Progressives Congress leader in Mushin and his commitment to democracy and the development of the state.
As a former Chair of Mushin Local Government, he laid the foundation for the council’s growth, thus advancing the state’s development.
When he served as Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s Special Adviser on Chieftaincy Matters, Prince Osiyemi forged good relationships with the state’s top monarchs, engendering smooth working relations between the government and traditional institutions.
President Tinubu celebrates the media veteran on this special occasion and acknowledges his contributions to Nigeria’s public relations and media practice.
As family, friends, and associates gather to honour the septuagenarian, President Tinubu prayed for Prince Osiyemi’s continued well-being.
“May the Almighty God grant him many more years of vitality, joy, and fulfilment as he continues to inspire future generations,” President Tinubu says.
