Shortly after Alhaji Debo Badru, who hosted his 60th birthday ceremony yesterday, saw off the Osun State Governor Gboyega Oyetola, he changed his blue attire to white and hit the dance floor.
The grand finale of the weeklong birthday held inside the hall of Kings Riverside Holiday Resort, beside Oba River on Iwo-Ibadan highway.
Closely followed by his wife, Alhaja Rihanat Badru, the Mayegun Musulumi of Iwo displayed his dance proficiency to the amazement of the large audience of guests from different parts of the country.
From table to table, the couple was dancing and acknowledging applause also taking pictures with their visibly excited guests who had much to eat and drink.

“On behalf of my husband, the birthday boy, I am extending my sincere appreciation to our guests. God shall protect them from here back to their homes,” she prayed.
