President Bola Tinubu and former Head of State General Abdulsalami Abubakar have paid tributes to veteran pro-democracy activist Chief Ayo Opadokun on his 80th birthday. Tinubu noted that Opadokun spent his 50th birthday in detention due to his role in the democracy struggle, while Abdulsalami recalled releasing him after over two years in detention. Instead of a grand celebration, Opadokun dedicated the milestone to a thanksgiving service at Ikate Baptist Church in Lagos, featuring a six-hour praise session.
