(If the wonder of the tiger does not surpass expectations, let the kitten of the cat show its wonder, so we may observe it.)
This saying underscores the importance of action and achievement over mere rhetoric. It reminds us that leadership is about setting standards through tangible efforts and measurable results. Alhaji Olopoeyan’s challenge highlights his enduring legacy and calls others to substantiate their claims with deeds rather than words.
In moments of transition, such reflections are a reminder that true leadership is defined by the marks left behind for others to emulate or surpass.
It is not an exaggeration to state that without Alh. Adebisi Olopoeyan, the NNPP would not have achieved his current stature in Oyo State. His declaration, ” I tried my best for NNPP,” is a modest summary of his monumental legacy of service, dedication, sacrifices, and transformational leadership.
