Ms Abimbola Adelakun’s July 27, 2023 article was predictable. Right from its morbid headline, you knew it was going to be a scurrilous attack on Lagos and its leadership. Unfortunately, that has been the tradition of this fine writer.
Two ‘heavyweight’ books will be publicly presented in Nigeria today, one in Lagos and the other in Abuja. I have read both. In Abuja, the combined forces of Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Mr Tony Elumelu, Alhaji Abdulsamad Rabiu, Prince Arthur Eze, Hajiya Bola Shagaya and Mr Femi Otedola will present ‘Aisha Buhari: Being Different’ written by her publicist, Dr Hajo Sani. To chair the occasion is Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. In Lagos, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo will lead eight governors to present ‘The Making of the Nigerian Flagship: The Story of The Guardian’ co-authored by Aaron Ukodie and O’seun Ogunseitan with contributions from several former pioneer staff of the newspaper.
