Double Birthday: Gbajabiamila, Sanwo-Olu Celebrate June 25 as Lagos’ Progressive Icons
June 25, 2026, marks a significant occasion as two prominent personalities, AbdulHakeem Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to the President, and Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, Governor of Lagos State, commemorate their birthdays. Both are esteemed public officials and leading figures hailing from Lagos.
Born on June 25, 1962, and June 25, 1965, respectively, these two leaders have consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the progressive ideals upheld by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and to the political advancement of Lagos.
Femi Gbajabiamila, a renowned legal expert who earned his Juris Doctor degree with high honors, served the Surulere 1 Federal Constituency for twenty years over six consecutive terms. He ascended through various leadership roles in the House of Representatives, acting as Minority Whip, Minority Leader, Majority Leader, and eventually as the 14th Speaker from 2019 to 2023 – a singular accomplishment for a Nigerian lawmaker. His notable legislative efforts include the consequential Student Loan Scheme, initiatives to improve healthcare, and a significant piece of legislation tackling estimated electricity billing, which garnered public approval. Currently, as Chief of Staff to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, he continues to utilize his strategic insight and parliamentary knowledge in national service.
Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, the 15th Executive Governor of Lagos State, has, since assuming office in 2019, led the nation's economic hub with considerable vision and a pragmatic approach. An alumnus of the University of Lagos with qualifications in Survey and Geo-Informatics and an MBA, Governor Sanwo-Olu has championed the effective T.H.E.M.E.S. development framework. He has also reinvigorated community and economic initiatives, aiding numerous Lagos residents. His administration's emphasis on public well-being, compassionate governance, and crisis management—particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic—has garnered him acclaim as one of Nigeria's most effective governors.
The bond between these two prominent progressive leaders is clearly evident. In 2018, Gbajabiamila, along with other Lagos APC House of Representatives members, supported Sanwo-Olu's gubernatorial candidacy, applauding his substantial experience and robust credentials. Governor Sanwo-Olu, in turn, has commended Gbajabiamila as a committed citizen, a respected lawmaker, a dedicated public official, and an outstanding representative of Lagos.
The Progressives Group (TPG), a prominent advocacy group for the All Progressives Congress, regards these two illustrious figures from Lagos with high esteem. Beyond their political responsibilities, they are considered elder statesmen, mentors, and committed citizens whose lives embody the virtues of service, excellence, and humility.
As they commemorate their shared birthday, we recognize their individual and collective accomplishments. We offer best wishes for continued wisdom, steadfastness, and prosperity, along with enduring good health in the years to come.
