Look, Babajide Akeredolu should be commended for getting involved in governance and learning for the future. For goodness sake, it is project monitoring that he is overseeing in the Governor's Office. He is not a commissioner.

Look, this young man could have, like most politicians's kids, decided to stay abroad, go shopping at will and visit exotic destinations, and then come back to Nigeria sometimes to cruise in big cars or ride big bikes and 'oppress' people in nite clubs but he decided to contribute to his Dad's government.
