Governor of Osun State, Adegboyega Oyetola, has congratulated the Pioneer Interim National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and former Governor of Osun State, Chief Bisi Akande for winning the Lifetime Achievement Award bestowed on him by The Sun Publishing Limited.

Governor Oyetola in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Ismail Omipidan on Saturday described Akande as a peacemaker whose love for a united Nigeria is unquantifiable.

The Governor also said Baba Awon Omo Ke Kee Ke (father of small children) as Akande is fondly called is a relentless elder statesman who is still active and working for a prosperous and democratic country, adding that, “He is indeed a true progressive.”

The statement reads in part, “As a quintessential administrator and a fine grassroots politician, Baba’s immense contributions to nation-building and national integration is written in the sands of time.

“Again, his legacy in the political space of Osun is unmatchable. History will not forget that it was Baba Akande who birthed the legacy of prudent and transparent management of men and resources in the State. Indeed, he is a compendium of wisdom.

“On behalf of my family, Government and good people of our darling State, I congratulate you once more on this special recognition by the Society’s Watchdog,” Oyetola said.
