September 27, 2017 – Photos: Late Obafemi Awolowo’s Statue Of Honour Unveiled In Ikeja Lagos
Governor Akinwumi Ambode has urged leaders to embrace the ideals and principles of the former Premier of defunct Western Region, the late Awo.
Ambode spoke on Tuesday during the unveiling of a statue of the sage in Ikeja Lagos.
The event was witness by prominent members of the Awolowo clan, including wife of the Vice President, Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo, Dr Tokunbo Awolowo-Dosumu and eminent politicians.
At long last. Why has it taken so long to recognise this prominent father of the nation? I’m smiling at this good job -:)
Great leader of noble people, a man of great and uncomm wisdom. The entire Yoruba tribe should be grateful to God Almighty for giving us Chief Obafemi Jeremiah Awolowo. Baba sunre o.
