Kayegbo, as he is popularly known across the length and breadth of Ekiti, also used the opportunity to call on well meaning and public-spirited Ekiti indigenes, both at home and in the diaspora to support the project, which he said is meant to appreciate and immortalize foremost legal luminary and educationist, Chief Afe Babalola, SAN, for his philanthropic activities and his contribution to the development and growth of mankind.
The Afe Babalola Hall of Fame and Gardens, situated at the base of the popular Oke Agbona in Okemesi is the brain-child of Chief Morakinyo, in collaboration with Afe Babalola Beneficiaries Worldwide, ABBW.

He has set the ball rolling and I want to use this opportunity to thank him profusely and also call on well-meaning and public-spirited indigenes of Ekiti State, both home and abroad too join hands with us to take this project to the next level.
“We must not wait till our heroes are dead and gone before we celebrate them and that was what motivated the establishment of Afe Babalola Hall of Fame and Gardens, to immortalize a living legend and philanthropist of this generation, Chief Babalola, SAN.
“Senator Bamidele, once again, on behalf of Afe Babalola Hall of Fame and Gardens and ABBW, thank you and God bless.”
