“I owe the old man this as I persuaded him in year 2006 to shelf his ambition to be governor of Ekiti State in favour of Governor Kayode Fayemi. When it became difficult for me I had to engage Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to assist. Apart from this, his late son Mr Kola Akosile who I met through Mr Femi Falana became a good friend of mine”
