President Bola Tinubu and Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu are scheduled to lead a gathering of political leaders, traditional rulers, and family members to honour elder statesman and notable Lagos politician, Prince Tajudeen Oluyole Olusi, as he marks his 90th birthday.
The milestone celebration has been structured into a three-day programme designed to pay tribute to the life, public service, and political mentorship of the veteran leader. Organisers confirmed that events will bring together key figures from across the country to celebrate his contributions to governance, community development, and party politics in Nigeria.
Details of the arrangements were highlighted in coverage detailing the upcoming anniversary celebrations, outlining a series of civic and social events mapped out to mark the nonagenarian’s entry into his tenth decade.
Prince Olusi, a holder of the national honour of Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON), has remained a formidable figure in Lagos politics for decades. He is widely recognised as one of the foundational pillars of progressive politics in the state, having served in various legislative and executive capacities, including as a member of the Federal House of Representatives during the Second Republic.
Over the years, the elder statesman has also held influential positions within dominant political structures, notably as a leader of the Governance Advisory Council in Lagos State. In this capacity, he has played a central role in shaping political consensus, mediating internal party disputes, and guiding successive administrations in the state.
The three-day programme is expected to draw delegations from the federal government, the Lagos State Executive Council, the National Assembly, and traditional institutions. Committees tasked with the anniversary arrangements have concluded logistics for the lecture, prayers, and reception segments of the celebrations, which will host prominent guests from Nigeria’s political and business elite.
Security and protocol arrangements around the designated venues in Lagos have been coordinated ahead of the arrival of the president and other high-ranking dignitaries. Further announcements regarding the specific itinerary and participating groups are expected from the central planning committee before the commencement of the events.
