Many went far to assassinate his character for reason best known to them. They have talked ill of him to president Muhammed Buhari, Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, V P Osinbajo, Governor Oyetola, Monarchs, etcetera. Anytime he is cited with someone, they headed to that person and fabricate lies to cut off ties with him. The informed do get back to ascertain the veracity of many claim against him, a step he regarded and appreciated. You can discredit his credits but can’t design his fate.
The enlightened should always check on him for accuracy of any misleading information peddled against Oluwo.

Thousands abuse Buhari daily, many call Tinubu unprintable names, Prophet Muhammad and Jesus were abused, but despite, they sailed and sailing through. That is the price of greatness. The stones are strength for a determined soul. Should we call it jealousy or envy?
Whatever it is, no going back in checkmating traditional and cultural corruption characterising our rich apparel.
