The senator representing Oyo Central senatorial district and 2023 governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State, Oloye Teslim Folarin has paid a glowing tribute to Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala on his one year remembrance.
The leading governorship candidate, in his remembrance message, described late former governor of the state as a man of uncommon grace and compassion, for whom abandoning bitterness and embracing adversaries was not just a political strategy but a way of life.
The message reads in full:
1 Year After The Exit Of People’s Governor (Oyato)
On this day, 12th January 2022, we lost a thoughtful father, welfarist public administrator and leader of leaders, His Excellency Otunba (Dr.) Christopher Adebayo Alao-Akala (Otun of the Source).
History will continue to remember Oyato Governor of Oyo State as an apostle of politics-without-bitterness, exemplary grassroots developer, phenomenal leader and great philanthropist.
We will always remember Omo Iya Alaro as a man of uncommon grace and compassion, for whom abandoning bitterness and embracing adversaries was not just a political strategy but a way of life.
Rest on Great Leader and Number One supporter of Itesiwaju Ipinle Oyo 2023.
We sorely miss you, Oga Wa!
Your Kola,
Senator Teslim Kolawole Folarin, OFR
