The second sheet of my two page Preface to the biography says it all concerning the motive behind writing the biography of Governor Lam Adesina.
Part of it reads:
"...I do bear witness here that in 1991, God revealed to me that Alhaji Lam Adesina would be the governor of this state and I told him so at that time.
It was a clear vision in which I saw Alhaji Lam Adesina amidst a sea of heads with the shout of " The Governor, The Governor " trailing him.
The same morning I ran into Alhaji Lam Adesina at the premises of Mapo Hall, Ibadan where he was attending to political issues and after some hesitation at first , I walked up to him and told him the dream. He exuded unshakeable faith in this divine message and I do remember that we later prayed together at his Felele residence that the will of God would be fulfilled.
For me therefore, writing about his journey to power is a debt which I owe as testimony to God's wonderful way of honouring His word.
" Just praise is only a debt , but flattery is a present, The acknowledgement of those virtues on which conscience congratulates us is a tribute that we can at any time exact with confidence. "
