Prof. Chinwe Obuaku Igwe

On this blessed day, we gather in heart and spirit to celebrate a rare gem – Yeyeluwa Modupeola Adeleke-Sanni, a woman whose life radiates the quiet power of grace, the enduring strength of womanhood and the boundless beauty of service.

To know Yeyeluwa is to witness love in motion. She is a pillar draped in elegance, a soul carved from deep wells of compassion and a matriarch divinely positioned for impact across generations. She does not raise her voice, yet her influence speaks volumes. She does not seek the spotlight, yet she is always a light to those in darkness.

As a daughter, wife, mother, leader and friend, she carries every title with dignity and depth. She is the woman who holds space for others, who listens with her heart and who gives without measure. Her spiritual presence is unmistakable. Her prayers are felt even before they are spoken.

This new year of her life ushers in a season of manifestation and multiplied grace. Long-hidden seeds of sacrifice shall bloom. Silent labours will find loud reward. And the very Heavens will respond to her with ease, favour and divine acceleration.

Yeyeluwa, your life is a testimony. Your name is a blessing. Your legacy is already unfolding and it is beautiful.

Today, I celebrate you not only as a stateswoman and royal matriarch, but as my mother in spirit and in purpose.

Thank you for your endless encouragement, your quiet intercessions, your fierce kindness. Thank you for being a covering and a compass.

Happy Birthday, Mummy.
May your days be long, joyful and endlessly full.

You are loved.
You are needed.
You are a light.

With deepest reverence and affection,
Prof. Chinwe Obuaku Igwe,
Consultant to the Osun State Governor and Technical Team Lead on Climate Change and Renewable Energy.

Your Daughter, always.
