"Talking about my health, like every old people, I have my fair share of health challenges but it is a great privilege made possible by only the grace of God to be alive today at 94.

"Let me recount an incident in 1964. I fell ill while I was running around contesting for a seat in the House of Representatives. I was referred to an English doctor in Ilesha.

"When he examined me, he shouted “My boy, what have you been doing to yourself?” I answered him that I had been running around to contest an election.

"He said, “If you keep running around, you have just four months left to live.” He then asked me to sit down for 30 minutes and think about what he just told me. My wife was with me there on that day. I told him I have no single minute to sit down and think about what he said. “Give me treatment in just 30 seconds because I need to go. And give me treatment to last me for the four months,” I told him."
