Former governor of the old Oyo State, Victor Olunloyo, on Sunday said Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke is a man of destiny who was underrated by political opponents.
Olunloyo stated this during a visit by Adeleke at the former’s residence in Ibadan.
Olunloyo severally exclaimed, “How did you do it? How did you achieve that feat? You are a man the whole world underrated. They were in shock. Only a very few people believe you can pull it off. Tell me the secrets.
“You cleared all the legislative seats, all House of Representatives, all Senate seats and the assembly honourables. You took the world by surprise. What a wonderful man you are,” the elated former governor and mathematician said.
Olunloyo, surrounded by family members and friends, including Dele Momodu, also lauded Adeleke for his wonderful performance since his assumption of office.
“Your performance as a Governor elates me. Osun is a difficult state to govern but you have changed the narrative. You are doing many wonderful things and I can see Osun people are happy with you. Keep it up.

“My prayer for you is that you will lead Osun to new greater heights. You will overcome all obstacles on your path of governance. You will continue to shine as a leader of your people. The good Lord will uphold and protect you.
“You are from a family of excellent people. Your father, Senator Adeleke, your brother, my own Serubawon, Senator and former Governor. Thank you for keeping the flag flying,” Olunloyo concluded.
Governor Adeleke, who told Olunloyo that he was in Oyo State for a formal function, said he came to pay homage to the elder statesman.
“I came to pay homage to you, our political father and to seek your prayers. I appreciate your kind words over the little we have been able to achieve in Osun. We will not let you down, our father and other admirers far and near,” said Adeleke.
