Dr. Patrick Dele Cole turned 80 years on Tuesday, 04 August, 2020. It was in the wake of the ensuing crisis that Dr. Patrick Dele Cole came into the saddle. Dr. Cole was the first in Nigeria to set up an editorial board patterned after what obtained in the United States. On the contrary, Dr. Cole disappointed everybody; he formed a rampart of defence around Daily Times and its editors. One of the intellectuals around the Obasanjo Administration, Dr. Cole was later to be appointed Nigeria’s ambassador to Brazil in the life of the Administration.
