"Five years ago, I wrote this about you; today my thoughts about you remained the same but strengthened as you have remained consistent and truly yourself.
Asiwaju, Akanbi, Olodo de Omo Abibatu:
A phenomenon, an enigma, a moment, a period and indeed a generation.
A measure of a time. To me, also a mentor who is most often right even when wrong is justifiably right.
To your own generation, an Obafemi Awolowo reincarnate, to my generation a Mahatma Gandhi lookup and to the younger generation a combination of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jnr. expectation.
To many you are yourself, a generational phenomenon.
At 65, we cannot but be grateful to God as you continue to trade your age and youthfulness for wisdom.
Baba, Happy Three Scores and Five Gbosas !!!"
