Friends Celebrate Governor Dapo Abiodun At 66

At 66, Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State stands as a man whose life has traced an inspiring arc—from a grounded entrepreneur and philanthropist to a socialite of note, and now to a visionary political leader.

Since stepping onto the political stage, he has shaped Ogun’s industrialisation, renewed its economy, sparked an agricultural renaissance, and lifted the Gateway State into a new phase of transformation.

On May 29, he marked his 66th birthday, and it was fitting that a circle of friends from business and politics came together to celebrate him.

The gathering read like a roll call of Nigeria’s who’s who.

From the business world came A-list titans: Alhaji Aliko Dangote of the Dangote Group; Dr. Olusegun Olugboyegun of the JOF Group of Companies; Femi Otedola of Zenon Petroleum and Gas; Segun Alebiosu, Managing Director of First Bank; and Wale Tinubu of Oando Plc.

From the political arena, the celebration drew governor and kingmakers alike: Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara State; Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, former Speaker of the House of Representatives and now Chief of Staff to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; Otunba Bimbo Ashiru, Chairman of the Odua Group of Companies; and Feyi Bali.

Surrounded by friends, peers, and partners, Governor Dapo Abiodun’s 66th was more than a birthday—it was a testament to a life of enterprise, service, and impact, honored by those who know him best.
