In the message signed by his Media Aide, Tunde Rahman, the APC chieftain said Akanbi is a committed democrat and an experienced lawmaker.
Tinubu stated that Akanbi, who represented Oyo South Senatorial District in the 8th Senate, has made remarkable contributions to Ibadanland, Oyo State, and Nigeria in general.
“A grassroots politician, who served with all he is imbued with whether as a member of the House of Representatives from 1992 to 1993 and during his sojourn in the eight Senate between 2015 and 2019 representing Oyo South Senatorial District.
“A known philanthropist, Akanbi formed the Rilwan Adesoji Akanbi Foundation (RAAF), which over the years, has helped the needy and vulnerable in Ibadanland and beyond.
“As Okanlomo of Ibadanland, his traditional title, he has also demonstrated that he is at home within the traditional institution and has played his part creditably,” he said.
Tinubu prayed that Almighty Allah would grant Akanbi many more years, good health, renewed strength, and vitality to continue to serve his people as meritorious as he had always done.
