As a chartered banker and a lawyer, Abiru noted Pa Basorun rose through the ranks to become a deputy director in the apex bank until the Alhaji Lateef Jakande administration appointed him secretary to the state government in 1979.


The #DoingGood Senator said since Pa Basorun joined partisan politics in 1979, he “has been a consistent and dependable progressive, faithfully working with other apex leaders in the APC to take the state to a greater level”.


The statement read: “On behalf of my family and the good people of Lagos East Senatorial District, I congratulate our esteemed leader and member, Governance Advisory Council(GAC), Asiwaju Reuben Olorunfunmi Basorun on his 84th birthday. 


“Pa Basorun was at the centre of the team that conceived a 14-point programme for Alhaji Jakande’s governorship campaign. He also played key roles in the transformation of the 14-point plan into a government programme when the Lateef Jakande administration took off in 1979.


“Sir, you have been a part of my story and have been someone who has always  identified with me. The continued support you have given me since I was entrusted with this sacred  mandate has been very remarkable and I don’t take it for granted. 


“At 84, I congratulate you for a life full of fulfillment and service to humanity. I also thank God for His grace and mercy upon your life. With all my heart, I pray God will satisfy you with a longer life; bless you with sound health”.
