Engr Saheed Adeyemi Oladele (SAO) of Ibarapa North and Central Federal Constituency has eulogised the late former governor of Oyo State, Gov Christopher Alao-Akala saying his impact in life still resonates years after his death.
Engr SAO in his ode to the late governor expressed his level of generosity and philanthropism which is one of the best virtues of the great son of Ogbomoso.
“Indeed, today marks the third year remembrance of the great son of Ogbomoso and former governor of Oyo State who without doubt lived a remarkable and fulfilled life. His impact as we all know still resonates many years after his death.

“His standing legacy as a noble and renowned philanthropist with unflinching humility earned him the moniker, Oyato governor which still lingers and ring bells on the minds of the people of Oyo State right till this day.
“Gov Akala was a man of immense influence whose aura, control and vigor radiates even beyond Oyo State which deservingly earned him greater respect and honor even among other state governors. His political bravery and meteoric rise to the peak of the ladder from Ogbomoso North LG Chairman in 1999 to becoming the deputy governor in 2023 and ultimately rising to becoming elected governor in 2027 are what makes him a hero and exemplar to the teeming generations.
“We pray for the repose of the soul of our father and leader, Gov Alao-Akala, that the Almighty God to grant him eternal rest in heaven with an even more lasting and brighter legacy in life.
