Is Obafemi Awolowo Nigeria's First Money Bag Politician! by felicitywe(m): 7:24pm On Mar 08, 2017 |
The 2015 election might have come and gone but all that happened can not be forgotten easily. The election like previous elections in Nigeria had alot to do with money.Whereas political scientists had told us that no one can win election without politics,the 2015 seem to have proved them wrong.PMB like we know did not have money and never relied on money to push his mandate however he won the election.Similarly, with all the money in the possession of the Hillary Clinton Democrat she still lost d election. All these r lessons for us to learn that money does not determine election victory.A history of Nigerian elections tells us that Late Chief Obafemi Awolowo was the first money bag politician in Nigeria.He contested the 1979 election with Helicopter from where he was dishing out money to poor Nigerians. While he threw money to all and sundry,ppl rallied round him in praise and worship.However he lost d election to Alhaji Shehu Shagari.The second money bag politician was Late Chief MKO Abiola.He was thickly rich to the extent that he almost bought the June 12 1993 election. Other politicians had followed this trajectory invariably destroying our democratic heritage. |

felicitywe: Can you point to the sources of this particular history? Or is it the normal tales by moonlight told you by your Lagos-returnee uncle at your village square? 2 Likes |

The title is a question. Not a statement. It should end in a question mark, not an exclamation point. |
