Royalty in Character, Celebrating the Exceptional Prince Olusola Akanmode on his Birthday
I met Prince Olusola Akanmode many years ago, and I remember being immediately struck by his aura of calmness and wisdom. As the former Deputy Chief of Staff to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, he exuded a sense of authority and respect that instantly drew people to him. His distinguished appearance and impeccable mannerisms highlighted his status as a man of class and style.
But beyond his outward appearance, it was Prince Akanmode’s wealth of experience and intellect that truly set him apart. He was a great technocrat who had spent decades in public service, working tirelessly to serve his country and its people. His administrative prowess was second to none, and he was known for his ability to navigate even the toughest of challenges with grace and ease.
What struck me the most about Prince Akanmode, however, was his integrity and kindness. He was a man of principle who always stood firm in his beliefs, no matter the cost. His forthright and honestly principled nature was a breath of fresh air in a world that often lacked such qualities. He was a man who led by example, showing others the value of honesty, humility, and hard work.
In addition to his professional achievements, Prince Akanmode was also a loving father, a dependable big uncle, and a trusted leader. He had a way of making everyone feel special and valued, no matter their background or status. His genuine care and concern for those around him endeared him to all who knew him, and his presence was always a source of comfort and inspiration.
As I reflect on Prince Akanmode’s contributions to our country and society, I am filled with an overwhelming sense of gratitude and admiration. He has left an indelible mark on all of us, and his legacy will continue to inspire generations to come.
On his birthday, I want to take this opportunity to thank him for his service, his leadership, and his unwavering commitment to excellence.
To Prince Olusola Akanmode, I say happy birthday! May this special day be filled with joy, love, and blessings. You are a true gift to us all, and we are grateful for the privilege of knowing you. May you continue to shine brightly and touch the lives of many more with your wisdom, kindness, and grace. You are an epitome of humility and a beacon of hope in a world that so desperately needs it. Thank you for being the incredible person that you are.
