He said he has earned the respect and honour of both the young and old by walking in the fear of God, and leading a life of integrity, which are invaluable attributes that he recommends to all Nigerians, especially aspiring leaders.
The President prayed that almighty God would grant Kolade more wisdom, longer life and good health to continually serve the nation and humanity.
