DUTY:
Dead bi bawo? Upon all the money he stole, he died? God is wonderful.
Everyone knew it was PDP party arrangements, I believed that's why we ve not heard from the old man since the incident Politics is a dirth game. Someone said that was the reason Obasanjo stood by him all through the case.
We in Kwara know the old man was a honest and very clean man ( As a Lecturer, Commissioner of Education and Governor).

May his soul rest in peace

Baba CO was from Oke-Onigbin close to Edidi, in between Oro and Omu-Aran. I don't know if his parents were living in Igbaja, near Okeya- Ipo off Ajase-Ipo. I saw him few years back at a function. May the 1st Igbomina Governor find eternal rest. grin grin grin angry
See finish!
You almost describe his house and the location of his bedroom within in the house, just to show how much you know him.
Well done!
You try well well 🤣🤣😂😂

Olusola Saraki supported him to unseat Adamu Attah (then part of Kogi was under Kwara). Kwara was sharing boundary with the FCT then

Military administrators were appointed to states irrespective of religion or state of origin. A democratically elected christian governor in Kwara state is something quite interesting.
Those were before 1979 (2nd Republic). George Inih and Sunday Ifere. I am not too sure if there's been any Christian military administrator since December 1983 in Kwara State

Kwara is not an Islamic state.
There are many Christian's who are indigen of Kwara.
Their huge romance with Muslim is all for political gain.
