A Tribute to Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje, CON, on his Special Day by Prof Ali Ahmad

Date: 2025-02-03

Today, I join family, friends, associates, and well-wishers in celebrating a distinguished statesman, an exceptional leader, and a man of immense wisdom—Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje, CON.

Alhaji Baraje is a towering figure in Nigeria's political landscape, an astute administrator, and a master strategist whose invaluable contributions to governance and party administration have shaped the course of our democracy. As a former National Secretary of the PDP, his leadership was marked by integrity, foresight, and an unwavering commitment to national unity and progress.

"Tafida, as he is fondly called, is not just a political icon but also a mentor, a father figure, and a bridge-builder who has consistently championed the cause of justice, fairness, and good governance. His loyalty to principles, his resilience in the face of challenges, and his deep-rooted passion for the upliftment of his people set him apart as a rare breed of leader."

Beyond politics, Alhaji Baraje stands tall as a custodian of tradition, an elder statesman within the Saraki political dynasty, and a proud son of the Ilorin Emirate, where he holds the prestigious title of Tafida. His generosity, wisdom, and humility continue to inspire, and his legacy of service remains a guiding light for many.

"As he marks another year of a life dedicated to impact and service, I pray that Almighty Allah grants him good health, continued wisdom, and many more years of prosperity and fulfillment."

Happy Birthday, Tafida!

Prof. Ali Ahmad
Ex-Speaker, Kwara State House of Assembly
