An Asiwaju- In Words and Deeds
Today Is A Community Day,
An Okeya-Ipo Special Day
Our Day Of Celebrations
And Merry Making
It is Special Day
That comes with double celebrations
For our Christian brethren
It is the celebration of the birth of Christ
For all of us
It is the celebration of the birth of Our Asiwaju
This day
Three Scores Ago
Abiodun Omoniyi was gifted
unto us by the Supreme One
An Asiwaju was born
And long before the formal investiture
The sterling attributes of a leader had manifested enough,
Even for the blind to see
And for the deaf to hear
A genial, affable and compassionate one
Filled with unpretentious humility and respect for all, no matter the person’s station in life
This Asiwju came divinely prepared for the office,
Such leaders don’t come in three for a penny
They are as rare as the Rhnull, the rarest of blood types
This is the born leader that Is our Asiwaju
It is him we celebrate today
As he marks three scores
In this land of the living
As you celebrate today
We ask The Supreme One
To grant you the grace
Of marking another three scores
In the service of our community and humanity
Happy celebration
Asiwaju Abiodun Omoniyi
Happy Celebration
Okeya-Ipo Community
The Noble land of my birth
