WHO IS WHO IN ALIMOSHO CELEBRATE ALHAJI YISA YUSUF aka YY AT 60

The  crème de la crème of Alimosho politics and beyond, especially the members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, on Monday 28^th March, 2016 converged at the AMEN Center, Abesan Estate, Alimosho, Lagos to celebrate one of their own, an icon, a political giant, a business man and philanthropist, Alhaji Yisa Yusuf, aka YY on his 60^th Birthday.

The roll call is not about who came, it is about who did not come as the 1000-capacity Hall had an overflow.  From the National Assembly to Lagos State House of Representatives and to Lagos state Executive Council members, most people came to show their loyalty and support for a man that has stood by them over the years.

The All White party couldn’t have been more beautiful as different shades of white materials were adorned by men and women who tried to outshine themselves.

Alimosho, the largest local government in Lagos state comprising of six local governments had all the Executive Secretaries and principal officers duly represented, an attestation to the fact that Alhaji Yisa Yusuf is a force to reckon with in Alimosho politics. The ruling Party in Lagos state has been in government in Alimosho since the inception of this political dispensation in 1999 and so has produced all the office holders in Alimosho, of which Alhaji Yisa Yusuf is a key player.

Prayers were said for the celebrant by Muslim clerics led by Chief Imam of Alaya Central Mosque, Alaya Abdul-Gafar. The event was anchored by a popular Yoruba actor, BabaTee, music was supplied by top Fuji artiste, Askari Ton Ko Fuji with DJ More Muzik on the Turn Table.

Speakers who took turns to speak at the event eulogized the celebrant for his activities in ensuring the stability of Alimosho politics. Notable in the speakers is a close associate, Alhaji Abdullai Enilolobo, the organizing Secretary of APC, who spoke highly of the person of the celebrant and referred to him as a good man and a political heavyweight in Alimosho.

Alhaji Yisa Yusuf visited and donated Drugs to Hospitals in Mosan Okunola LCDA and also visited the Little Saints Orphanage Home, Akowonjo where he donated food, toys and gift items as part of the activities lined up for his birthday. The prayers and reception held on Monday, 28^th March wound up the birthday celebration of the man many people call the Jagaban of Alimosho politics.

Alimosho Standard is glad to be associated with a man of his caliber and we join his family, friends and well wishers to wish him a happy birthday and many happy returns. Igba odun, odun kan ni o.
