Kudos to the likes of Kurunmi, Ojo Iberu, Aare Latoosa and most importantly, MKO Abiola, whose blood was shed to pave way for this present democracy our country is enjoying. Dear Aare, the task before you is as enormous as is tasking, in that our race is in dire need of a sense of direction as regards politics, sociocultural development and preservation and most importantly, security. Security: It’s no more news that the entire middle belt of this country is under a pogrom, being carried out by herdsmen and the body language of the President is nothing to write home about. Finally, I congratulate you on this noble title bestowed on you, though it comes with many responsibilities, I’m not afraid because I believe you are up to the task. Akinbohun Olalekan writes from Ibadan, Oyo State
