David Bamigboye (retd), who was the father-of-the-day; former military administrator of Bauchi and Osun states, Brig. Gen. Theophilus Bamgboye (retd); Special Adviser to Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara State on Communications and Strategy, Alhaji Abdulraheem Adedoyin, who represented his boss.

I have observed that when public office holders from other zones/ethnicities are busted, they go home after serving and lie low But when Yoruba ones are nailed and jailed, they come out and still try to be in the limelight running Yoruba affairs Bode George, Tafa Balogun, Ogunlewe etc are good examples. Tinubu will soon be jailed but afterwards he will still be around running things Do these people have no shame or they have no other leaders? |
