The Ògo Àkúré Mandate Group heartily congratulates a distinguished statesman, revered leader, and proud son of Akure Kingdom, Honourable Sunday Ifedayo Abegunde (ABENA) — Executive Director, Corporate Services, Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), and Asiwaju of Akure Land — on the occasion of his 71st birthday.
At 71, Hon. Abegunde exemplifies visionary leadership, selfless service, and unwavering commitment to the public good. His journey in governance and public service has been defined by integrity, depth, courage, and a rare passion for institution-building and community development.
Through his current role at the NDDC, Hon. Abegunde continues to make meaningful contributions to national development, promoting administrative excellence, accountability, and people-centred governance.
As the Asiwaju of Akure Land, he remains a fountain of wisdom, cultural pride, and progressive counsel — a bridge between tradition and modern leadership whose influence spans generations.
A former Secretary to the Government of Ondo State and a two-term Member of the House of Representatives representing Akure Federal Constituency, Hon. Abegunde has consistently stood out as a leader of leaders, mentoring many and shaping the political and developmental direction of Akure and Ondo State at large.
On this remarkable milestone, Ògo Àkúré celebrates not just the years, but a legacy of service, leadership, and inspiration that Hon. Abegunde represents. We pray that the years ahead be filled with sound health, renewed strength, divine wisdom, and enduring peace.
Once again, congratulations sir.
May your legacy continue to shine, and your service to humanity remain richly rewarded.
Signed:
Hon. Ayodeji DF Oluleye
Convener, Ògo Àkúré Mandate Group &
MHR, Aspirant Akure North & South Federal Constituency
