Ditoya: Ehya,,,But whose he?

Ok. Senator Lekan Balogun is a former senator of the Federal Rep of Nigeria (1999-2003). He was once a gubernatorial candidate against Chief Bola Ige in Oyo State under the stable of Aminu Kano, prior to this. He a a notable PDP leader in Oyo State and SW Nigeria. A blessed orator, the media world love him and he knows how to engage them effectively. He is also the Osi Olubadan of Ibadanland (3rd inline to the crown, on his queue for Olubadan crown). He was one of the very vocal PDP leaders who stood up against Chief Alao Akala (the then PDP governor in Oyo State) on the issue of bad governance and overbearing influence of the governor on the PDP party structure in Oyo State. He worked against his removal.

He is seen by many as objective in nature and a firm believer that the younger generation deserves to take over political office (ie under 50). He has many political Godchildren and he is presently supporting Senator Teslim Folarin (former Leader of the senate, who coincidetally, took over his seat in the senate in 2003-2011) to depose Gov Ajimobi in Oyo State. He remains one of the few politicians that operates an open door policy where anyone can walk into his compound (hence the reason the neighbours came to his rescue). He is a very humble listener who exhibits very little if any evidence of financial wealth. There were several attempts to assassinate him during the Akala era.

He is married with several children. He is 70+ years old.

SOURCE: ME!

I worked with him to depose Gov Akala before goin our separate ways!
