” You have distinguished yourself as a reputable figure in the fields of journalism, public service, culture and our traditional institution.
“Uncle, you are indeed an embodiment of our Omoluabi Heritage. All who have interacted with you have testified to your wide knowledge, deep wisdom and native intelligence. Being named as the Cultural Ambassador of the Yoruba Nation is a fitting feather to your already colourful cap,” Tegbe wrote.
I pray that the Almighty grants you more years in good health, as Ibadan, and indeed the Yoruba Nation continue to draw from your wealth of wisdom and experience.
