Hon. Abayomi Tunji has commended Hon. Olubunmi Tunji Ojo, Member House of Representatives, Akoko North West/North East Federal constituency for living an exemplary lifestyle, one which he said is in tandem with the lives of other past illustrious leaders of the community.

According to him,” In Okeagbe we always stood well for Akoko.
I remember it well at TTC in Ikare(about 1961-1962) the struggles of our fathers for Akoko. Z.A Alabi as Secretary of Akoko Divisional Council. Baba J. O. Aliu was Principal of Teacher Training College(premises now occupied by NYSC) in Ikare. Chief S.A.Ogedengbe who was inspired by Awolowo to become the first lawyer in Akoko was the Parliamentarian etc.”

” After this generation came Senator Ogunleye, Chief Rufus Giwa and Otunba Ayo Oladunni. Now we have Hon Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo popularly known as BTO. So why do notable folks come from Okeagbe? First we derive inspiration from those who go before us. Second we never hate or work against one another. Third we love Okeagbe and Akoko and always work for their greatness. This is the spirit of Okeagbe where 4 kings and kingdoms work as One.”

He also enjoined the lawmaker never to relent in advancing the will of the people for good.
