I am very grateful. “You did not only touch me but you touched a lot of people, both alive or dead, males, females, young or old. You touched everybody, you’re a selfless man. “You are a man of action and substance, a giver. Thank you. One thing that I will never forget and have been waiting for the opportunity to say is Mama Wale. You supported him, and that’s why he is standing the way he is today. You will enjoy the fruit of your labour”.
