The Executive Governor of Lagos State Babajide Sanwo-Olu has said that an occasion of one’s birthday, especially a milestone such as the age of 55, should be a day to reflect on one’s purpose of existence in life and, this according to him, is “to serve humanity”.
He disclosed this in a statement released by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Gboyega Akosile on Wednesday, while informed friends, families, professional colleagues and political associates of the Lagos State Governor, that no congratulatory advertisements should be placed in newspapers to celebrate his birthday.
The Governor wishes to continue his tradition of reaching out and sharing love with the needy in the society as he believes that an occasion of one’s birthday, especially a milestone such as the age of 55, should be a day to reflect on one’s purpose of existence in life and, this according to him, is “to serve humanity”.
He said the best birthday gift anyone would give him at this period is to identify those at the bottom of the pyramid wherever they reside, lift them up by putting smiles on their faces. “That way, you would have lifted my heart too. Finally, there is no plan for any form of celebration other than what has been stated above”.
