Aare Oloja of Ogbomoso Alhaji Mutiu Adeniyi Sanni has been described as a man of good character, whose large heartedness and humility are commendable.

Various speakers at his birthday celebration on Tuesday held at Alata Coolroom, Old Sawmill Apake, heaped encomiums on him while wishing him long life and prosperity.

Mr. Oke Adeyemi, a politician, submitted, “Dr Mutiu is a frank person, he says things as he sees them unlike the average politician.”

Mrs. Jesuseyifunmi Victoria who said she knew the celebrant five years ago similarly described him as a a man of sterling character who exhibits virtues better than many so-called men of God. “Since l knew him five years ago, l have found him to always be straightforward, unpretentious. He is not sly. He is better than many men of God. I wish him long life and prosperity,” Jesuseyifunmi said.

Alhaji Abdulkareem Olatunji stated, “He is a man of good deeds but l am not surprised, he is only following in the footsteps of his father, Alhaji Sanni.”

Another well-wisher said, while expressing wish that he be given a nickname that reflects his character. “Mutiu is a nice person. This is demonstrated by this programme in which people are allowed to freely give testimonies about him. How many of us have such confidence? It is because he is a good man and has no fear of people speaking about him publicly in his presence. Henceforth l will like people to start calling him ‘Bulldozer’ because he is like a bulldozer which reduces every mountain before him, whatever problems people take to him he helps them solve them.”

Mr. Bamidele Atanda Babatunde who has known the celebrant for over 30 years, also affirmed, “Mutiu is humble, he never disrespects anyone irrespective of status or age and he never forgets any good done him. Yet he never pays evil for evil,” while urgng him “to persist in doing good.”

His elder brother noted, “He is a fortunate man, one who the family is proud of. He is respectful, despite being his elder brother, he calls me father. I urge you to continue to be magnanimous.”
