I used to collect pocket money from Alao-Akala - Osinbajo

Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo says he used to collect pocket money from former Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala of Oyo state, describing him as a generous, kindhearted and decent man. “Prof. Oyelowo Oyewo, the current commissioner for justice in Oyo state, was our link to him. If we needed little pocket money, we found a way of getting to our dear uncle. This was even long before he became governor of Oyo state,” explained the vice president. Prof. Osinbajo disclosed this during a condolence visit to the family of Mr Alao-Akala in Ogbomoso. The ex-governor, an All Progressives Congress (APC) leader in Oyo, died on January 12. “We have profound memories of him, a man who was exceedingly generous. He was a titan in politics. He was a very generous, kindhearted and decent man,” he added. “Long before I became a professor of Law, I had known our dear uncle Adebayo Alao- Akala. Any time I think about him, I smile because he was a very special being.”....
