The demise of Chief MKO Abiola 13 years ago will continue to stir in the hearts of many Nigerians. The call that the National Assembly should pave the way for the Federal Government to recognise the late business mogul as‘elected President’ has not received attention after all.

Abiodun Ajibade, a pharmacist and CEO of Alvid Nigeria Limited attributes his achievements in life to good mentoring and has therefore vowed to assist the younger ones in reaching their dreams. Besides his professional calling, he is reputed for empowering the younger ones and caring for the less privileged.

Chief Obadiah Ando, Minister of Water Resources, a down-to-earth and contained man, in this interview, was prudent and frank with words. He relayed all that transpired in Taraba State during the April polls and why he cannot be robed in the toga of anti-party activities as conjured by some people. He believes Nigerians are yet to see the real humane President Goodluck Jonathan. He made us understand that his loyalty to Mr. President is too strong for him to even think of any form of betrayal.

Following the successful conduct of the 2011 general election in most parts of the country, Professor Omo Omoruyi is today a happy man. The former Director General of the Centre for Democratic Studies, CDS, spoke to Vanguard last week in Benin City and urged Nigerians to commend President Goodluck Jonathan for the successful polls.

The primary mission after the interview was arranged was to get Chief Olabode George to talk about his life in prison. But the former deputy national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would rather prefer to have the story of his prison life told in a memoir, hence his insistence not to tell the story now. The only aspect of it he elected to tell is the one relating to the reason he was jailed for two years for fraud at the Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA) while he was chairman.
