As the year 2024 draws to a close, it is both timely and fitting to reflect on the journey and express gratitude to those who have made this year remarkable. I am deeply appreciative of everyone who has contributed to my personal and professional growth. This includes those who supported my business, entrusted my security firm with their properties, and played key roles in advancing our shared goals. However, one individual stands out in an extraordinary way, not just for his actions but for his unparalleled commitment to my success. That person is Otunba Olayinka Braimoh, the Action Alliance Gubernatorial candidate for the 2023 Kogi State Election.
Otunba Braimoh, your selflessness and dedication have left an indelible mark on my life and my career. You gave up your comfort to ensure my convenience and stood by me during one of the most critical moments of my journey. Your unalloyed support was not just a gesture but a profound demonstration of your exceptional leadership and human compassion. Because of your influence, my security outfit has been able to reach greater heights, securing properties and lives with excellence. Your guidance has not only strengthened my business but has also catalyzed my personal development, encouraging me to think bigger, act boldly, and embrace challenges with resilience.
I am eternally grateful for your kindness, generosity, and belief in my potential. You have shown me that leadership is not just about positions but about making tangible differences in people’s lives. Your large heart and thoughtful consideration are rare traits, and they exemplify the values of true servant leadership.
As I celebrate the successes and lessons of 2024, I find myself deeply indebted to you for the role you have played in my story. It is with profound respect and admiration that I recognize you as my “Man of the Year.” Thank you for your outstanding example, your generosity, and your encouragement. May God continue to bless and elevate you in all your endeavors.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Seyi Babaeko
