AS-SALĀMU ‘ALAYKUM WA RAHMATULLĀHI WA BARAKĀTUH

I write with profound respect, honour, and a deep sense of gratitude to Almighty Allah for the privilege of identifying with you both by blood and by faith.

It is with pride and humility that I regard you not only as a father in lineage but also as a spiritual guide, mentor, and pathfinder in Islam.

In particular, the brief but impactful interaction, discussion, and fatherly admonition I received from you on Friday, May 1st, 2026, at the Oyo Central Mosque, remain indelibly etched in my memory. That moment was both inspiring and transformative.

Sir, I wish to reaffirm my unwavering loyalty and commitment as one of your devoted mentees. Having known you for many years, I have consistently held you in high esteem and proudly project you as a model of integrity, leadership, and religious devotion.

With utmost humility, I therefore appeal solely for the sake of Allah, that you continue to embrace and guide me as your son; one who is ever ready and determined to make you proud at all times, in all places, and under all circumstances.

My earnest desire and request, Sir, is for your kind support and guidance in facilitating my consideration for a meaningful and impactful political appointment in Oyo Stat,e beginning from the present administration and extending into future political dispensations. This aspiration is inspired by your exemplary qualities of steadfastness, loyalty, purity, commitment, and your lifelong dedication to the service of Islam and humanity.

I shall remain deeply grateful if my request finds favour and kind consideration in your esteemed office.

Thank you, Sir, for your enduring support, guidance, and fatherly presence in my life since 1991 to date.

Yours respectfully,

Balogun Mahroofdeen Abiodun, PhD
