“I have a special affinity and admiration for men who passionately pursue the selfless path of true service and have the highest respect for men who pursue that path in the areas of socio-political engineering and penchants for a detribalized society, all these are embedded in you, hence, I have no reluctance, therefore, to declare that, you, Rt. Hon Femi Gbajabiamila has earned my full respect and my deep admiration as a unifier of our great nation, Nigeria,” he said.
“Mr. Speaker, you have always exuded charisma, carriage, dignity, and honor, you are a man endowed with sheer organizational ability, administrative prowess, uncommon trouble-shooting acumen, masterful logic, foresight, and above all, the most colorful speaker in the post-Awolowo era. You are also an outstanding Yoruba Leader who has profoundly shaped and dictated the pendulum of Nigerian Politics from the hallowed corner of the Green Chamber.”
