“Are you the editor I was told, who has this imposing building?” He asked with a smile across his lips. I never traveled alone. I was always riding in the same vehicle with Justice Ayoola. We were so close. As the assignment wound up, I began to experience a sense of foreboding, thinking that the committee’s assignment would be the last close tie that I would have with him.
Justice Ayoola became ICPC chairman in 2005 and turned things around for the better in the country’s fight against corruption. The assignment was easy for him, as he told me: “I wrote 80 per cent of the charter for the establishment of ICPC.” He said he did it pro bono because Justice Akanbi was one of his closest friends.
Justice Ayoola came up with a novel idea of fighting corruption through preventive mechanisms, using it in pari pasu with the arrest and prosecution of alleged corrupt elements. As an offshoot of the preventive mechanism came the National Anti-Corruption Volunteer Corps , of which I became its grand commander.
But Baba appeared to have made up his mind. He told me: “Folu, it is better to quit the stage when the ovation is loudest. I have worked with three presidents within five years, and I have been able to convince myself that this is the time to go. Out there, there are more opportunities to render service to humanity and to serve God.”
