The Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Alhaji Adegboyega Oyetola, has been described as a quintessential political leader who abhors violence and any unconstitutional means of driving his endeavours in all spheres of life.
The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Director of Media and Information, Chief Kola Olabisi, who made this remark today in the commemoration of the 70th birthday anniversary of Alhaji Oyetola, former state governor, stated that the Iragbiji-born political leader of the APC extraction is a typical example of politicians who play politics without bitterness.
Olabisi described Oyetola as an uncommon political leader as he neither brags nor talks down on his subordinates as it is common with those who are privileged to have attained such enviable political height in his journey of life.
He explained further that Oyetola as a minister has been proving to be a worthy ambassador of Osun State among the comity of ministers as it is on record that he has been adding substantial value to the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu through his productive and resourceful approach to official responsibilities.
Olabisi noted that his study of the Marine and Blue Economy minister over the years attested to the fact that the 'Birthday Boy' is one of the illustrious sons of the state who proved his mettle beyond expectation despite the paucity of fund when the mantle of leading the state as a governor fell on his head.
According to the state APC spokesman: "Through his conduct in and out of government, one can easily infer that Alhaji Oyetola passed through the four walls of the higher institution and also allowed the institution of higher learning to pass through him.
"It is not in his attributes to bring shame to the State of the Virtues through his actions and inactions as a public officer which was exemplified in the revered way and manner that he handled the obaship institution in the state when he was the governor.
"He is a minister and the whole state has been knowing and feeling his time for copious positive contributions towards the people of the state in particular and the entire nation in general.
"Alhaji Oyetola was a talk-and-do governor who would never promise what he would not have a wherewithal to accomplish which could be traced to how he promised the Ijesa people a university and promptly made it happen by establishing the University of Ilesa, Osun State, and some other developmental projects across the nooks and crannies of the state.
"It is not an overstatement to state that the history of Osun State cannot be complete without acknowledging the legacy projects of the ever meticulous Iragbiji-born prudent manager of man and resources who was squeezing water from stone to successfully run his four-year tenure in the state.
"On behalf of my family, I am joining the family, relations, friends, well-wishers and political associates of the maiden minister of Marine and Blue Economy to celebrate him on his 70th birthday anniversary today.
"May God Almighty be kind to you to witness many more quality years with accomplished aspirations on earth", the APC spokesman prayed.
