Today, I celebrate an extraordinary woman who has been a guiding light through many seasons of my life. Her Excellency, Erelu Bisi Adeleye-Fayemi, is a rare blend of intellect, compassion, and strength, a mentor, a mother figure, and a trusted confidant.

She has offered wisdom in moments of doubt and clarity in times of uncertainty. Her ability to lead with heart and principle, while balancing the demands of public service, family, and friendship, continues to inspire me deeply. Her steady support has shaped my journey in ways that words can scarcely capture.

I thank God for your life, Erelu. May the years ahead bring continued purpose, good health, and lasting joy.

Happy Birthday, Ma, with love and admiration.
