Chief Peter Taiwo Ogundeji – APATA has heartily rejoice with a distinguished leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State and Nigeria at large, Omooba (Barrister) Dotun Babayemi, on the joyous occasion of his 59th birthday – one graceful step away from the famed sixth floor.
He said “At 59, Omooba Babayemi stands tall as a lawyer of exceptional repute, a tested political juggernaut, a committed party man, and a selfless nation-builder whose contributions continue to resonate across Osun State and beyond.
From his noble birth into the esteemed Babayemi Royal Family of Gbongan, to becoming a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria in 1990, and advancing to enviable managerial and leadership positions in the United Kingdom and the United States, culminating in his rise as Vice President and Managing Director at AXA Financial Services, Omooba Babayemi has exemplified excellence, discipline and global competence.
His return to Nigeria in 2007 marked the beginning of a renewed commitment to national development. Through strategic leadership roles in the telecommunications sector and later as Chief Executive of the Fort Knox Group, now providing employment to tens of thousands across Nigeria, he has demonstrated a rare blend of vision, courage and managerial depth.
Politically, Omooba Babayemi has been a steadfast pillar of progressive politics, contributing immensely to the fortunes of the APC.
His intellectual capacity, organisational strength, personal sacrifices, both professional and financial, remain indelible in the political history of Osun State.
Beyond politics, his humanitarian interventions through the Favour, Kindness and Grace (FKG) Foundation, educational scholarships, free summer coaching classes, annual health fairs attracting tens of thousands, surgical interventions, empowerment programmes and youth-focused initiatives portray him as a compassionate leader with a heart for service.
”As you celebrate 59 years of grace, impact and divine favour, I join your family, friends, associates and the progressive family to honour you for your resilience, patriotism and unwavering commitment to the good of society.
“My prayer is that the Almighty continues to grant you good health, renewed strength and greater accomplishments as you prepare to step gloriously into the sixth floor.
”Congratulations, Omooba Dotun Babayemi, at 59. May your days continue to shine brightly, and may your star never go dim.
