[@faseyierasmuserasmusfaseyi1382]

Chief Obafemi Awolowo and I met in the USA during a visit. I was discussing with some friends, when Chief Awolowo called me, and asked, " Have you heard any news from Nigeria?" I said, " No sir!" He said, "The latest news from Nigeria is that Abiola has declined from the NPN" I then jumped up to congratulate him, since I have heard earlier that on rare cases that Chief Awolowo had no forgiving spirit against any opposition, and I told him, "Bad people have their moments, just as good people have theirs. If Chief Abiola comes to reconcile with you, try to accept him into your political fold." Chief Awolowo answered me thus: "Yes! I am very ready." Chief Awolowo then put his hand into his pocket and brought out a telegram copy which he forwarded to Chief Abiola from the USA. What was written in the telegram was not more than 5 lines. But I was surprised how the newspapers, especially the Daily Times, reported it to cover several pages of the newspapers, through analytical diagnosis. Hence the disagreement between Chief Awolowo and Chief Abiola were totally resolved before their separate translations.

Chief MKO Abiola was a human being with his ups and down of life,yet what Almighty Allah Hafiz lays down some laws which must be obeyed .What happened to Chief is a continuation of war against betrayal.Jagarban has learnt lessons from Chief Awolowo/Chief Akintola,Chief MKO Abiola/Chief Olusegun Obasanjo. If Jagarban had not allowed General Muhammadu Buhari to rule,he will not be ruling today.Chief MKO Abiola also betrayed some of his friends. The curse was placed by Oba Arole of first Oyo empire when he was fighting the Are Onakankanfo which lead to the lost of llorin to the Northern region. Chief Abiola was a philanthropist per excellence .Nobody can rule Nigeria without the full support of the Northern caucus according to the British government who found them easy to rule easily than the Yorubas.

[@ismailabanjoko500]

Dear Mr Dele Adeyanju i give you kudos for the historical issues you bring to your platform as they are very illuminating. I also give kudos to Alhaji Sukazeem for his enlightening stories of what went behind the scenes. I am not criticizing our Dear Alhaji but just adding my own little 2 cents as they say to two of the issues raised. I may be wrong but what i put up are in good faith hopefully will elicit more contributions to the discourse. The problem between the Late Chief Obafemi Awolowo and Late Ladoke Akintola was a problem of the leadership of the party in Western region. When Awolowo was the Premier he was the party leader but when Akintola became the Premier he wanted to be the leader not that Awolowo wanted to be the Premier. On the regional election in 1951 it was a parliamentary election and it was the party that has majority that will form the government. There were two main parties then AG, NCNC and Independent parties of which the main one was Ibadan Parapo led by the Late Chief Akinloye. The parties were to register their candidates before the elections but only NCNC did not submit its own list. There were 80 seats in the parliament of which 78 were contested and after elections AG won 38, NCNC won 24 and Independents including Ibadan Parapo won 15 seats. No party had majority to form a government. NCNC was claiming it won 43 seats without names of the said 43. Alliances were formed and 12 of the independents joined the AG and only 3 joined NCNC so at the end AG had 53 seats and NCNC 27 seats. There was no cross carpeting in parliamentary elections but alliances just as NPC and NCNC formed theirs in the Federal Parliament.

[@larrykings_speak_out]

You are not totally wrong or right. Baba Awolowo actually came back as party leader but like a godfather,whereas Baba Akintola wants a free hand to run his government. Awolowo has turned himself to a demigod that his words were final. Many things happened between their wives, too, which is still happening to date between an ex governor and his successor. About the 1951 election, it was cross carpet and not alliance because the party collapsed for AG.

[@Yomiyankee]

The casual way of viewing politics is the bane of our progress and persist due to lack of understanding. Politics is not a LUDO!. Yes, in politics, you are not fighting with your political opponent, but you're contesting ideas. This is known to the educated people who engages in debate. Awolowo does not need to curse anyone. The daunting force that Awolowo intended to bring down, causing stagnation in our society, eventually brought Abiola down. Had he known?

Moreso, it was removed without any practicable and workable cushioning palliative till now to mitigate against its negative impacts

[@kehindeoniemayin1250]

Welldone Alhaji. However, Awo was not seeking to go back to Ibadan as premier. As party chair of AG, he believed he should control the party while Akintola the final decision in the west shd be his. Should the west form alliance with the east (UPGA) or the north (NNA) was the last straw.

[@TheMallami]

[@DeboliAdeyemi]

With due respect and honor to this elder pops, l want to reiterate that he is a typical old NPN party guru. This is an example and pattern of political expression. He talks with both mouth. He did not want to agree totally that Pa.. Awolowo was the master of politics that positively affected Nigeria recognized by the entire world. S. Akintola was a great allied of Awolowo but why has nobody come out to defend him ever since or say something great about him. Moreover he died a gruesome death orchestrated by the Fulanis that he heavily supported at the expense of the Yoruba. Only God knows the truth. Nonetheless both dudes tried in their own time at least far better than the current politicians.

[@niyiojo5194]

FULANI did not kill Akintola..How? Is Nzeogwu and his boys Fulani?..Akontola foresight and grasp of Nigeria political terrain is what brought Obasanjo, Abiola and now Tinubu to the Presidency..Had Awo listened or respected Akintola views, he would have ruled Nigeria as Prime Minister

I’ve said it severally, Awolowo was a great leader but his greediness caused so many things to Yoruba and Nigeria. God never sent Awolowo to become the leader of Nigeria, he sent him to become the leader of Yoruba. One of the reasons for the 1st coup by the Igbos is because of the flamboyant life styles of the corrupt leaders and the thought of removing Awolowo from prison and make him president which was never possible. The aftermath of coups led to Nigeria civil war, take it or leave it.. The civil war led to military staying in power for so long.

@@larrykings_speak_out you might be right. But if chief Awolowo had just been the Premier of Western Region without even trying to go to the central, events might have been different. But I believe those coupist really want Chief Awolowo as president. Remember they were young, wanted a revolution and they’ve all read what he said about Feudal system of the North, moreover few of them like Ifeajuna schooled in UI, they saw how they were fed in hostels(a chicken to a student in the late 50s). So those officers knew that the only best person for Prime Minister position was Awo.

It’s so sad to see people commenting on Awolowo based on half baked facts. Awolowo was the leader of opposition in the federal government and he was very effective. He was sent to prison as still the leader of opposition. He never wanted to be the prime minister again. The problem between them was arguably the way forward in politics. Akintola wanted to form alliance with the ruling party while Awo was against it

It was Akintola wayward disloyal to AG philosophy and constitution led the House of Assembly passed “Vote of no confidence” and tried to expel the double standard Premier from the party and premiership. During the process, Akintola with his friends Chief S. A. Tinubu, Fani-Kayode and other NCNC members caused chaos and disrupted the process to expel him by the Governor Sir Adesoji Aderemi. They shouted “Ogun de o” with chairs throned. Minsters were seen climbed the windows with many injured, it was bloody, it led to “Akintola Taku” slogan.

Why is it called one Nigeria if Azikwe/Gbadebo cannot be governor of Yoruba land and Yoruba cannot be governor of Northern land, and Hausa/Fulani cannot be governor of Igbo land?

If the truth will be told, Akintola did not only betrayed Awolowo. In fact, Yoruba believed that Akintola betrayed the Entire Yoruba Nation. Yorubas rained causes on him on January 15, 1966 morning.
