Nine good years ago, I wrote this about you, today my thoughts about you remained same but strengthened as You 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 generation, an *Obafemi Awolowo* reincarnate, to our 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 69 we cannot but be grateful to God as you continue to trade your *“age and youthfulness for wisdom”*.
Baba, Happy Three Scores and Nine years of God’s faithfulness.
