Sir Michael Agbolade Otedola worked as a journalist in the UK (where he schooled) and in Nigeria. He worked for such prestigious newspapers as The Times and The Guardian in the UK.

Sir Michael also worked as the spokesman of Mobil Oil in Nigeria and he set up a large printing and publishing company called Impact Press. It was based in Surulere, Lagos.

He was knighted with the Order of St Sylvester by Pope Paul VI in 1974.


He got involved in politics during the Third Republic and contested the 1991 Lagos State governorship election on the platform of the National Republican Congress (NRC).

Although Lagos was a majority SDP state, protest votes from sections of the SDP led to victory for Sir Otedola.

The governor was a member of the NRC, but the SDP had an overwhelming majority in the House of Assembly and it controlled the local governments. Sir Michael was able to manage the situation very well.

He served as governor from January 1992 till November 1993 when Abacha struck.

Sir Michael returned to his publishing business after leaving office. He died in 2014.

My dad, victim of complex conspiracy – Kola Abiola

What role did Bola Tinubu play in all of these?

At the very beginning, he was part of the Yar’Adua PF group from Jos. He was a senator then, and as far as the group went, we related. The crisis started post-election. When Abacha came, one of the things he wanted to do was to be the administrator for Lagos.

That is Tinubu?

Yes. I am sure you have seen pictures of him and my dad. He was hoping that there would be civilian administrators like we had under IBB but Abacha said no, that he was going to have military administrators. So he (Tinubu) said okay, in that case, can I be a deputy administrator? But Abacha said that there wouldn’t be deputies. Then he wanted the post of a commissioner.

He wanted to be a commissioner?

Yes. Then it was a choice between him and someone very close to Jakande who has passed on now. I can’t remember his name, but because Babagana was already in the government, that guy was picked as commissioner. But really, Senator Tinubu had lost out already.

Was Tinubu very close to MKO?

Yes, he was close enough. He and Adeniyi Adele, a very good guy, were close to my father. In fact, Adeniyi was closer to my father and more dedicated to the process than anyone of them. When my documentary comes out, you will see Tinubu’s take on issues. So once he lost out, automatically, he became a NADECO member and Adeniyi was incarcerated.
