Gbenga Makanjuola comes of age

Published by

The Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki did something unusual a few days ago. The busy politician led some of his colleagues into the Senate building to celebrate with his Deputy-Chief of Staff, Gbenga Makanjuola, who clocked 50.

The modest celebration, which had in attendance Senators Dino Melaye, Ben Bruce and other principal officers of the Senate featured a cake-cutting, birthday song and hearty messages to the celebrant, who obviously was stunned by the warm gesture of his boss.

Gbenga stands out among the aides of the Senate President, as a man endowed with a deep sense of humility and uncommon courtesy.

Those in the know hinted that a grand ceremony that would officially usher him into the golden club would evidently take place in Abuja this weekend.
