In a personal press release on Tuesday, Senator Alli described the celebrant as a kingdom general whose global exploits in advancing the gospel have brought immense honour to Oyo State and positively impacted communities, cities, and nations across the world.
“On behalf of my family and the APC family in Oyo State, I warmly congratulate one of our state’s most illustrious figures, Archbishop Francis Wale Oke, as he marks the landmark age of 70 years today.
