Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has extended warm birthday felicitations to Alhaji Babatunde Balogun, former Chairman of the Lagos APC and ex-Commissioner for Home Affairs, as he marks his 75th birthday.
In a heartfelt tribute, Sanwo-Olu praised Balogun, a key member of the Governance Advisory Council (GAC), as a principled, dedicated, and highly respected political veteran, whose influence continues to shape governance and politics across his constituency and Lagos State.
The governor’s message, issued Friday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Gboyega Akosile, highlighted Balogun’s enduring contributions, especially during his impactful stints as Home Affairs Commissioner and APC State Chairman, which remain a benchmark for service and leadership.
He said: “On behalf of my wife, Ibijoke; the government, and the people of Lagos State, as well as members of the Governance Advisory Council (GAC), leaders and members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), I congratulate Alhaji Babatunde Balogun, on his 75th birthday.
“Alhaji Babatunde Balogun is an experienced politician who is passionate about good governance and the delivery of democratic dividends to the people. He served Lagos State passionately as Commissioner for Home Affairs and contributed positively to the progress, growth and development of the State.
“Since he joined partisan politics, Alhaji Balogun has remained one of the respected political leaders and leading voices in Lagos State, particularly in Apapa. He is a disciplined and principled politician. He was a one-time chairman of the Lagos APC and contributed to the success of the ruling party, particularly during the 2019 general elections.
“He also led our party to victory as the Chairman of the 40-man Lagos APC Campaign Council during the July 12, 2025 council polls in Lagos State. His contributions remain invaluable as a member of the Governance Advisory Council.
“On this occasion of his 75th birthday, I pray that God will grant Alhaji Babatunde Balogun good health to enable him to render more service to humanity, his community, our dear ruling All Progressives Congress, Lagos State, and Nigeria.”
