Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo (SAN), yesterday, said that the country’s leadership recruitment process had been fundamentally broken by money politics and godfatherism. According to Keyamo, the situation has led to the emergence of incompetent leaders who have stalled the country’s development for decades. Keyamo, during the book launch, titled: From the Ocean to the Bar, chronicling the life of Oke, stressed that constitutional requirements for public office have been subverted by powerful interests operating unchecked. However, the former Managing Director and Editor-in-Chief of The Guardian, Martins Oloja, who reviewed the book, described it as a narrative shaped by purpose and perseverance. In his opening remark, Basorun Seinde Arogbofa celebrated and described Oke as someone whose life is worthy of recognition and emulation.
