Onigbanjo also opined that Adetifa and Nigerians should start preparing for the next pandemic, and not wait till it happens before actions are taken.
Adetifa’s citation was read by Segun Osikolu, even as he was presented with a special recognition plaque by the oldest member of the association, Akintola Ajeigbe. A plaque of appreciation was also presented to Onigbanjo by the immediate past president of the association, Ayorinde Ore. Thanking the association for the honour, Adetifa said, “When Aiyede 11 reached out to me, it was a bit overwhelming, and I appreciate this honour. Everyone knows my dad; our town is very important to him and me. As a matter of fact, it was only recently that he started to give up some of his roles. We grew up attending Aiyede Grammer School, and Aiyede-Ekiti Progressive Union meetings. I grew up following the examples of my parents.
