THE Alaafin of Oyo State, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi, has commended President Goodluck Jonathan, for his exemplary leadership style, saying he has presented himself as the much expected leader Africa has been waiting for.

Disclosing this in a letter to the presidency, Adeyemi said, “I commend the language, persuasiveness, conviction, forthrightness and clarity of your speeches which are no doubt clear indications of your suave, non- obstructive, honest and sincere personality.”

While noting that he has been following with keen interest, developments at home in Nigeria, especially, since the beginning of what could be regarded as the new dawn of statesmanship in the country, the Alaafin said, “I have also been watching and trying to understand the politics and praxis of the new generation of African leaders as partakers in the global search for peace, order and good governance.”
