Golf Recreation Club, Ogbomoso has organised a golf tournament to pay its last respect to the deceased former governor of Oyo State, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala.

Speaking during the Hole Out tournament and tree planting session in honour of the late governor, captain of the tournament, Mr Isaac Ojo said the aim of the golf tournament which drew dignitaries and lovers of the game across the nooks and crannies of Nigeria was to honour the late sports enthusiast, Otunba Alao Akala who contributed in no small measure to the development of the club before he bade the world farewell.
He described Otunba Alao Akala as a lover of golf who was actively involved in the game when he was alive.
Mr Ojo maintained that one of the customs of the golf club was to organise hole out tournaments and tree planting in honour of the former president of the club who has passed on.
He affirmed that the late former governor will be missed for his immense contributions to the club, golf tournaments and Oyo State at large.
The tournament witnessed had in attendance golfers across the country, children of the late governor and other well-wishers.
