| Fomer colonial master and some of post Colonial leaders |
Awolowo replied "Dry your
tears, God sometimes keep his own away when danger is approaching...."
And that was what happened!
The reason why Nigeria didn't break in 1967 was Obafemi Awolowo. Gowon said "I needed him badly more than I needed the Nigerian Army".....Why? Two reasons;
1. The original rallying point of
the Yoruba was Awolowo. If Yoruba supported the break up, no Jupiter can stop
it. Therefore, to keep Nigeria one, Awolowo must endorse it!!!!
2. The wisdom of Awolowo was
unequalled, unparalleled and unrivalled. His wisdom must not be on the side of
the rebel, Nigeria would not survive without it.
No wonder the two Warriors Gowon
and Ojukwu said and I quote;
"I am the luckiest ruler of
Nigeria because the best Nigeria asset in person of Chief Awolowo was my Vice
Chairman and Finance Commissioner..."- Gowon.
"Chief Awolowo is the best
President of Nigeria that never was..."- Ojukwu.
Need I say more?
Murtala Mohammed had ensured in
his Transition Programme that Shehu Shagari would not contest but after his
death, OBJ relaxed the rules.....Shagari was allowed to contest and won but in
1984, Buhari stopped Shagari again, describing his election as
"shamelessly rigged".......
NCNC was the popular Party in
Lagos. They always won Lagos. And Awolowo's Action Group would have lost in
1954 if not for Madam Abibatu Mogaji the mother of JAGABAN who mobilized the
Lagos women for AG!
THE SECRET OF AWOLOWO

| Obafemi Awolowo, arrives in Sokoto to campaign ahead of the federal elections |
Awolowo deliberately spent a lot
of money in establishing exclusive investments for the Western Region where he
thought the SW Progressive Politics would be financed. He said "SW need
stable source of fund to fight politically because a poor people cannot fight
the Central Government..."
No one knew this secret until his
Deputy had issues with Awolowo and leaked the secret to the opponent. He told
them "fight Awolowo from now till forever, if you didn't destroy the
Western Nigerian Investments, SW will always be buoyant financially and they
will fight you and win you...." Wow!!!!! That was the end!!!
From that time, to cut the story
short, SW was targeted! AWO was accused of fraud. Investments converted to Full
state investment and later Odu'a Investment. And later, during the military
regime, there was a time when all SW governors were non Yorubas, Odu'a
investment was crushed. Cold dead!
But LAGOS of Tinubu reinvested
the progressive interest in a more sophisticated way. MAY THE SECRET OF LAGOS
NOT BE LEAKED THE WAY ENEMIES LEAKED THE SECRET OF SOUTH WEST!!!

The Story of Progressive Politics
in Nigeria since 1954 had its Genesis from Awolowo's Palm Tree which, After
processing, have its revelation from Tinubu's Broom!!!

Another bombshell on Awolowo, still loading.......
Here is a tip of the iceberg.
We have it on good authority that our post independent leaders got wind of January 1966 coup de tat. But HOW come they did not take swift action to nip it in the bud?
The question is supposing intelligence reports about the coup linked Obafemi Awolowo to it, would they still not taken action?
