Ajadi Celebrates Otunba Seye Famojuro at Birthday, Hails His Strategic Role in Oyo Politics

Leading gubernatorial aspirant in Oyo State under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, has extended warm birthday felicitations to renowned political strategist and community leader, Otunba Seye Famojuro, describing him as a stabilising force and a silent pillar behind the successes recorded in Oyo State’s political landscape.
In a congratulatory message issued on Saturday, February 14, 2026, Ajadi lauded Famojuro—popularly known as the Balogun Bobajiroro of Orile Igbon—for his uncommon loyalty, strategic depth and unwavering commitment to the growth of the PDP and the development of Oyo State.

“Otunba Seye Famojuro is not just a political ally; he is a thinker, a bridge-builder and a man whose behind-the-scenes efforts continue to strengthen our party and our state,” Ajadi said. “On his birthday today, I celebrate a dependable leader whose wisdom and dedication have helped sustain stability and progress in Oyo State.”

The Merit Newspaper reports that Famojuro is widely regarded as a major strategist within the Omituntun political movement of Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, where he is often described as a key member of the movement’s think-tank. His influence, party leaders say, lies not in public showmanship but in strategic counsel, quiet negotiations and consistent engagement with stakeholders across the state.

According to Ajadi, Famojuro exemplifies what many within political circles refer to as the “GSM school of politics,” a philosophy associated with Governor Makinde that emphasises discipline, loyalty, people-oriented governance and strategic planning.

“He is one of the closest and most trusted associates of Governor Makinde, and his role in fostering unity within the PDP cannot be overstated,” Ajadi noted. “Men like Otunba Famojuro are the backbone of any serious political movement—they ensure continuity, cohesion and clarity of purpose.”

Beyond party politics, Famojuro has also earned recognition for his contributions to community development and governance-related initiatives, including his involvement in issues surrounding the Oyo State park management system and grassroots empowerment efforts. His supporters often describe him as highly spirited, intelligent and deeply connected to the people.

Ajadi added that Famojuro’s leadership qualities extend beyond politics, stressing that his guidance has positively impacted youths, community leaders and party faithful across the state.

“As you mark another year, I pray for sound health, renewed strength and greater wisdom,” Ajadi said. “Oyo State still needs your experience, your strategic mind and your unwavering commitment to progress.”

Otunba Seye Famojuro’s birthday, observers say, is not only a personal milestone but also an opportunity for party members and stakeholders to reflect on the importance of loyalty, strategic thinking and service in sustaining democratic governance in Oyo State.

Buratai Pays Tribute to Ihejirika at 70, Hails Mentorship and Legacy of Leadership

Former Chief of Army Staff and Nigeria’s immediate past Ambassador to the Republic of Benin, Lt. Gen. (Rtd) Tukur Yusuf Buratai, has paid a glowing tribute to his predecessor, Lt. Gen. OA Ihejirika, as the retired General marks his 70th birthday.

In a heartfelt message released in Abuja on Friday, Buratai described Ihejirika as not only a distinguished soldier and statesman, but also a commander, mentor, and “architect of leadership” whose influence shaped a generation of senior military officers.

Buratai recalled that his professional rise within the Nigerian Army was significantly moulded under Ihejirika’s command, citing key appointments that defined his career trajectory.

According to him, the trust reposed in him through early command responsibilities, including his first command posting at Headquarters 2 Brigade and later as Commandant of the Nigerian Army School of Infantry, laid a solid foundation for his future leadership roles.

“These opportunities were not mere appointments; they were strategic investments in leadership,” Buratai noted, adding that such exposure prepared him for higher national responsibilities.

He further acknowledged that the mentorship and professional grounding he received under Ihejirika’s leadership were instrumental in his eventual appointment as Chief of Army Staff and later as Nigeria’s Ambassador to the Republic of Benin.

Buratai praised Ihejirika’s command philosophy, describing it as professional, pragmatic, and mission-driven. He said the former Army Chief led by example, combining firm strategic direction with a clear blueprint for excellence that continues to influence military leadership practices.

“At seventy, General Ihejirika has earned the right to reflect on a legacy secured,” Buratai stated, praying for good health, peace, and enduring joy for the retired General as he enters a new decade.

He concluded by expressing profound gratitude for the leadership, mentorship, and lasting example provided by Ihejirika over the years.

The tribute was signed by Lt. Gen. Tukur Yusuf Buratai, who described himself as a grateful mentee and successor, underscoring the enduring bonds of mentorship within the Nigerian Army’s top leadership.
