Happy Birthday, Mr Speaker, Adeniyi Adewumi





Words feel inadequate to convey my thoughts on this day. I was not the closest of your friends, in fact I was an opponent but that never masked my respect for your intellectual agility which enabled you to own many a space where arguments were proferred.  You laced your articulation, dynamism and consistency in battle, with kindness and compassion. Your rimmed frame of glasses cloaked your determination but never deterred it, your smile conveyed assurance and not weaknesss. From the rising of the day to its going down we will remember you. Happy birthday to a worthy opponent, a gallant friend and a great man..
