At a ceremony to give the award in Benin City, the Executive Director of IYAMIDR, Solomon Okoduwa described Akerele as role model for younger Nigerians who are agitating for power shift adding that they should learn from his experience and decision that when he felt what was happening in the government was against his conviction, he was not “arrested” by the pecks of the office but took the path of honour to satisfy his conscience and conviction that governance is for the general good of the people.
