In Nigeria, Obafemi Awolowo – “Leader of the Yorubas” needs no introduction indeed. This nationalist and political leader took an extremely important part in our country’s quest for independence and hold important functions in the machinery of the state. Most of the progressive social legislation making our country a modern country is credited to Awolowo. In fact, on three occasions, he made attempts at the presidency Federal Republic of Nigeria. Obafemi Awolowo died at the age of 78 at his Ikenne home in 1987. Obafemi Awolowo took an extremely important part in our country’s quest for independence To pay tribute to his life and work, the Efunyela Hall, part of his Ikenne home, was made a museum which was commissioned by his widow in 1989.

Obafemi Awolowo's Mercedes-Benz, which was purchased in 1970, was driven by him to travel across the country during his presidential campaign in 1979 and 1983.

The car is not being properly maintained despite its unique history. It is showing signs of serious rust. I doubt if the engine is in good shape at the moment. The car should be restored urgently to prevent it going into a rusty end in few decades. 10 Likes |

One day they will sell the museum to chukwudi and he will build plaza and they will sell the car to pan taker to butcher it for 200k.... Nigerians mostly see value in cash or kind... The concept of preservation of anything is abstract mostly... Hence the abysmal maintenance culture 2 Likes |
