It has taken almost 13 years but former President Olusegun Obansanjo has now apologised to human rights activist, Dr. Joel Odumakin for the man-handling she suffered from security operatives back in May 2004. The duo were special guests at an event in Abeokuta, Ogun State when the apology went down. An excited Joel Odumakin took to Instagram to share the news and wrote:

'I apologise on behalf of the security operatives that manhandled you during the May 19, 2004 protest. Former President ;Chief Olusegun Obasanjo told me today during d JAMB retreat interactive session, Abeokuta, Ogun State'.

Obasanjo is a man, and apologies accepted.

Any man that apologizes for his wrong doing is a man.

" It is right to be wrong, but it is wrong to remain wrong"


N:B to the OP it is Joe which she is for Josephine, and not Joel.

Full names:Dr. Josephine Odumakin.

Strong woman.

That Baba too wise

Good

OBJ for me had the best regime so far even though he is so unclean.

But for how long are we young Nigerians going to allow these old faces remain in polity?

These men have been in power since their late twenties and early thirties - even Wole Shoyinka emphasized this.

Are we just going to keep sitting by our keypads typing our grievances without making constructive non violent moves?

How long will our great grandfathers keep driving while we relax on the back seat grumbling about their reckless driving?

I hope we will wake up and act.

This is not about a protest.

Its about taking the constructive steps against 2019.

The revolution is here!
