I like the theme for this year’s International Youth Day which we mark today: ‘International Solidarity: Creating a World for all Ages’. It is very appropriate for this inaugural ‘Omoluabi Summit’ which has as its theme, ‘Character as Leadership’. Both character and leadership are for the young and the...
For sometimes now, I have consciously resisted the temptation to join
opaque debates seeking to pin the misfortune of the PDP in the last election on former Kwara State Governor, Dr Abdulfatah Ahmed’s alleged non-performance. The skewed, anecdotal analyses are driven by ruling party stalwarts and, unfortunately, by members of...
