By TOCHUKWU ANABA, Esq. Asiwaju did not get to where he is today by playing to the gallary. He has this reputation of taking very tough decisions. First is being a Muslim, with a Pastor wife and an only son who is a Christian. Liberalism! That’s perhaps, what I admire most about him. Against all odds, he remained in the opposition for the 16 years of PDP misrule. He lost all AD states, but only Lagos to the predatory forces of the PDP and OBJ that ran roughshod in the Western states. From AD, AC to ACN. He built…

By abiodun KOMOLAFE _“You (Governor Oyetola) are doing well. You will complete this term and do another term.’ – HRM Oba Munirudeen Lawal, Timi of Ede_ As a young boy growing up, back then in the village, under the tutelage of his paternal grandmother, yours sincerely was treated to the fact that _‘promises are sacred obligations, which must be fulfilled.’_ Grandma taught me that _‘failure to make good one’s promises always end up impugning the character profile of the defaulter’;_ and that ‘ _promises made good confer on the promisor the omoluabi integrity.’_ After all, _’a ri se la ri…

It all seems fairly straightforward in terms of everyday English language but social media have been awash with different interpretation of the section since news of the judgement of the Delta State PDP Governoship candidacy broke, even when the analysts have not seen the detailed text of the judgement. As usual, most of the interpretations, debates and sentiments have been influenced by the POLITICS rather…
