They were prayer warriors who imbibed the spirit of love and contentment in me.</p> <p>&#8220;I had all my education in Ile-Ife, up to a Master&#8217;s degree, from 1966-1988, with intermittent breaks for different jobs that prepared me for a future of global fame and fortune. Ile-Ife was my rock.</p> <p>&#8220;I will forever remain a major stakeholder in Osun State, regardless of whoever is Governor. I supported Ademola Adeleke, not because he is my friend, or for pecuniary gains, but for the glaring evidence of his superlative performance.</p> <p>&#8220;Those who wish to claim ownership now are welcome. I&#8217;m not in competition with anyone. I&#8217;m proud of my glorious heritage. I have never been in government or power, despite my uncommon access to men and women of influence. I thank my parents for their love and spiritual fortification. I&#8217;m a child of Destiny, and I know who I am.&#8221;</p> <p><a href="https://dailypost.ng/2026/08/23/osun-i-supported-gov-adeleke-due-to-performance-not-pecuniary-gains-dele-momodu/">Osun: I supported Gov Adeleke due to performance not pecuniary gains &#8211; Dele Momodu</a></p>
