The former Kogi State Coordinator of Red Card Movement, Comrade Opaluwa is an unrepentant advocate for good governance, constantly demanding transparency and accountability from public officials.
As Comrade Opaluwa Eleojo Simeon marks his 52nd birthday today, it is worth mentioning that the irrepressible activist still has more to offer.
