Ikorodu city of Lagos was agog for the 51st birthday of Hon. S.O.B Agunbiade on Sunday 25th October, 2015. The celebrant is the lawmaker representing Ikorodu Constituency 01 at the Lagos State House of Assembly. Hon. Sanai Oyeniran Bolanle Agunbiade studied Biology/Chemistry Education at the Lagos State College of Education, Ijanikin and taught briefly at Ikorodu Grammar School before proceeding to study Law at the Lagos State University. In his univeristy days, he was at the fore-front of student union activities and was elected Lagos State University's SUG President in his final year. He was also a notable voice among Nigeria's pro-democracy activitists. Now in his third term as a lawmaker at the Lagos State House of Assembly, he has contributed immensely to the process of lawmaking in Lagos State. A very brilliant legislator and consummate grassroots politician, Agunbiade became the Majority Leader of House at the inception of the 8th Assembly in June 2015.
It was therefore not surprising that there was a large turn-out of dignitaries from across the state and elsewhere yesterday where he celebrated his 51st birthday in his native Ikorodu. Venue was the Ikorodu Musical Village in the outskirts of the city and in attendance were present and former members of Lagos State House of Assembly, chieftains of APC from all over the state, royal fathers, renowned businessmen and women as well as other personalities. Bonsue Fuji crooner, Adewale Ayuba and his band were on hand to entertain the gathering. Below are some of the photographs taken at the event by Sola Folowosele.
