By Hon. Bola Mogaji
A few decades ago, a child named Mashood Atanda Mustapha was born in the ancient city of Ilorin into the family of Alhaji Usman Mustapha, The Wali of Ilorin Emirate.
He grew up from childhood to adolescence and later became adult and eventually through the grace of Almighty Allah, his parents, and through the human instrumentality of Saraki dynasty, today, he is a responsible citizen of the state and Nigeria as a whole.
This young man of remarkable vision, Hon. Moshood Mustapha (MM) has made a name in Kwara politics, and in business circle, having served in different capacities, including member of the House of Representatives and senior special adviser on parliamentary affairs to the 8th senate president, HE, Dr. Bukola Saraki, while his businesses traversed across continents, Ghana, the United Arab Emirate, the United Kingdom, Germany, United States of American etc.
His dedication to public service, unwavering commitment to good governance, and passion for the progress of our people have been a source of inspiration. Over the years, his leadership has exemplified integrity, excellence, and a deep sense of responsibility toward the betterment of society. His impact, both in politics and philanthropy, has touched countless lives, and we celebrate you for your relentless efforts in championing the cause of development and empowerment.
Beyond his remarkable achievements, his generosity, humility, and statesmanship set him apart as a leader truly committed to making a difference. His contributions to our dear state and beyond are invaluable, and we remain grateful for his service.
As he marks another year of success and purpose, I pray that the Almighty continues to bless him with good health, wisdom, and greater opportunities to fulfil his vision. May his years ahead be filled with prosperity, happiness, and fulfilment in all aspects of life.
Once again, congratulations, Wakilin N’geri of Ilorin Emirate.
