In an emotionally laden message personally penned to mark the day, the Agba-Akin of Agboyi Kingdom extolled the virtues of his wife, describing her as his pillar of strength, dependable partner, and the gracious mother of his children. He praised her unwavering support throughout his years in public service and political leadership, noting that her sacrifices, prayers, and wise counsel significantly contributed to his successes in office and beyond.
According to the former council boss, Mrs Salawu embodies humility, compassion, and resilience. He acknowledged her role not only as a supportive spouse but also as a nurturing mother and a source of inspiration to many within and outside their immediate family circle.
“My darling wife, Florence, you are more than a companion; you are my confidant, my encourager, and the heartbeat of our home. Through every challenge and triumph, you stood firmly by my side. On this special day, I celebrate your strength, your kindness, and your unwavering love,” Dullar stated in his tribute.
Friends, associates, and political allies joined in celebrating Mrs Salawu, describing her as a woman of grace whose calm disposition and warm personality have endeared her to many within the Somolu community.
The day was equally significant as Hon. Dullar also showered encomiums on his bosom friend of many years, and the CEO of Anisfield Nigeria Ltd, Hon. Hakeem Anifowoshe, whom he described as a loyal ally and dependable brother.
Reflecting on their longstanding friendship, the former chairman noted that their bond has been built on mutual respect, trust, and shared commitment to community development. He commended Anifowoshe for his steadfast dedication to grassroots empowerment and his consistent support over the years.
“Hon. Hakeem Anifowoshe is not just a friend but a brother in every sense of the word. Our journey together has been marked by shared dreams, service to humanity, and a deep passion for the growth of our people. I am grateful for your loyalty and the many years of friendship”. He said.
Political stakeholders and community leaders have since extended congratulatory messages to both celebrants, describing the dual birthday celebration as symbolic of enduring relationships, one built on family love and the other on tested friendship.
As goodwill messages poured in from supporters across Somolu and beyond, the celebratory mood underscored the value the former chairman places on family and friendship, even after leaving office.
The double celebration not only marked the addition of another year to the lives of Mrs Florence Salawu and Hon. Hakeem Anifowoshe but also served as a reminder of the strong personal bonds that continue to shape the political and social landscape of the Somolu community.
