Before he met Gani, Sani already had the spark. Under Gani’s tutelage, he became a bonfire of desire for change. The book blossoms with pages of Gani-Sani photos. In court, in office, in meeting, in play, in mini-rallies, either before fights or after. https://t.co/Fq09gvXY2q 766 views · 1 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

Rather than canvass for votes, he is campaigning to be a chief... Makinde is looking to be a palace tourist. Not for him, it seems, is the high perch of president.

Ayo Opadokun turned 80 last week... All I can call him, after ruminating his storied life, is the scribe of his generation. Few know he has been in politics since the days of Awolowo and he is best known as the secretary. https://t.co/aiqmiy77zV 1.1K views · 6 likes · 1 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →
