Without recourse to the use of any hyperbole, billionaire businessman and Chairman of Premier Lotto, Sir Kessington Adebukunola Adebutu is a compelling study in grace.
The Odoole of Yorubaland is everything you would wish for in life. Providence, no doubt, has literally lavished its favour on him. But success, greatness and fame were never thrust on his laps on a platter of gold. His is an intriguing story of a man who is determined to survive in life. Thus, his inspiring journey so far would undeniably make good material for any creative biographer as fate has granted him the grace to get the best out of life. Interestingly, one of the things that he cherishes most is celebrating life.
Adebutu loves to celebrate with achievers in life and he himself is celebrated for his great feats in life. Therefore, when he turned 87 on Monday, October 24, there were a deluge of congratulatory messages including a special message from President Muhammadu Buhari who recently honoured the accomplished business magnate with the national honour of the Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic (CFR). However, to the surprise of many who were looking forward to seeing the octogenarian hosting a loud birthday shindig, the Ogun State-born gaming tycoon quietly marked the day with a praise and worship session to appreciate Almighty God that has spared his life, with his immediate family and select family friends in attendance at his Ikoyi, Lagos mansion.
