He’s as simple as they come. To a person knowing him for the first time, he could be just any Tom and Jerry.
His respect could be so disarming that one would be forced to reveal even his innermost secrets to him.
He’s so interested in people that even folks from his village come to seek his advice in Abeokuta. I also did seek his advice on most of my hairbrained projects which he dutifully advised me against.
One thing that could be said about him is he has seen it all. Maybe that’s why he’s a great mixer.
He had been in the footwear making, baking and block making businesses. I think he ought to have finished his law program at Olabisi Obasanjo University, Ago Iwoye.
Before enrolling for the law course, he was a member of the Ogun State House of Assembly between1999 and 2003. He probably represented Ketu/Adiye Owe.
When the government changed and another party took over, he continued his grassroots politics. But then, things were naturally uneasy.
However, he remained forthright. He remains a bundle of jokes. I know he can never forget the Obey incident. That’s top secret!
When the history of Abe’gi is told, his name will be written in gold. He’s a peacemaker.
He’s apparently always at the receiving end of banters but Honorable Ogunyomi Gabriel Oluwole, like an Omoluabi that he is, returns to the sender in kind!
