I am particularly not given to writing Tributes and eulogy, I seldom share birthday greetings but when it comes to some extremely exceptionally beautiful characters, I break the rules. It will be unjust if I could not represent them the way they truly are.
I have worked with my boss, His Exc. Otunba Gbenga Daniel for more than twenty years. We often describe him as one the most intelligent and the best people around with a solution to almost everything. That description appears charitable, especially when you have been around long enough to know that my boss also has a boss who gives quiet command, solving most of our very complex problems while appearing not to utter a single word.
Yeye Olufunke Daniel is the Senior Advocate of all members of the OGD Political and Administrative Family, when you are in Yeye’s corner of affection your line of defense is heavily fortified, and her protective weapon is one of a permanent smile, never angry posture. Sophisticated, yet with her, everything have always appeared very simple. Her simplicity slices through all the complex political realities that we face and decisions that we make on a daily basis.
A dutiful wife, Yeye has always provided the most compassionate but practical last solution, that looks so simple, but eminently enduring and lightens our final resolve. It is to Yeye’s credit all the welfare empowerment programs for people, before, in and outside of Government; her concept of giving is genuine as she owns the concept of giving food to the people. Her belief is that no matter what empowerment that you are doing, please don’t let the people go hungry.
Your Excellency, the *Diamond* sits pretty well on you; but the *Blue Sapphire* will usher you into the new realm of Glory till you pick the *Platinum* and become the *Oak* planted by the riverside which gives the harvests of a *Century*.
Happy Birthday ma!
