In a congrats greeting sent yesterday on the traditional ruler's 80th birthday, Obasa provided the description.
Obasa praised Akiolu for his contributions to the development of Lagos and its cultural institutions, saying the king had left a lasting legacy for the state by consistently promoting its peace and development.
The King's leadership, wisdom, and love were also expressed by the Speaker, who praised the King's contributions as the permanent chairman of the state Council of Obas and Chiefs.
Honoring a monarch whose reign as the Oba of Lagos has been marked by unshakable dedication and compassion for his people brings me great joy.
"The political class and our beloved state have reached new heights thanks to your direction and leadership, which has promoted development, harmony, and prosperity.
"Many lives have been impacted by your insight and sage advice, encouraging future generations to uphold tradition and progress while striving for greatness."
The Speaker prayed for greater courage and discernment for the King to use his wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm for peace to further the cause of maintaining Lagos, Nigeria's enviable position.
