In a statement laden with gratitude and admiration on X on Monday, Osinbajo described his wife as the embodiment of selflessness and devotion, saying, “Every year of these 35 years you’ve proved that true love is not a myth or a fanciful phrase—through your willingness to give up everything for me and our children, through your generosity with your time, skills, and great faith by which you have helped us all navigate our sometimes bewildering journeys.”
Dolapo Osinbajo, a legaal practitioner, author, and social advocate, has long been celebrated for her impactful contributions to the community.

Speaking on her unique blend of personal and societal impact, Osinbajo added, “In all of this, you’ve written several books, run several national prayer meetings, run shelters for vulnerable women, trained thousands of young people in different skills, crocheted a storm, and developed numerous gardens!”
As he closed his passionate statement, Osinbajo expressed his sincere thanks to God for the gift of his wife, reinforcing his love with the words,I thank God daily for the gift of you to me. I love you always. Happy 35th Anniversary.”
