The above editorial was Published in a local tabloid: THE DEFENDER NEWSPAPER.
Published by a veteran and civil right activist, Late Pa Chief Idris Oladare Obahopo, 1939- 2011.
Chief Obahopo practiced Journalism for over four decades,an Awoist Papa was a man with midas touch.
The late father of Journalism in both old Kwara and Kogi State wrote this note during the tenure of Alhaji Ibrahim Idris, six years after his demise what he predicted then today become ••••••••••••
In the editorial the late octogenarian wrote and I quote;
“Whatever Power any leader wields while holding sway on exalted throne of relevance or reverence will certainly become a reference point as history will not deny such events space daunting challenges ahead in the second term.
The umpteenth problems no doubt are enormous as higher percentages of the task are slated on in the reckoning book.
With this,the need for leaders to be on the side of transparency and inescapably disposed to principles that will make their after tenure reference point faultless and heartwarming such disposition will certainly payoff than engaging in INTOXICATING POWER DISPLAYS THAT WHEN RECALLED BY HISTORY WILL UNLEASH REGRETS HEAPED ON DISAPPOINTING EVIL DOES.
Just like the HEAVENLY JUDGMENT DAY; WHICH CANNOT BE REVERTED FOR CORRECTION,SO IT IS THAT ACTION OF LEADER RECOURSE WITH HISTORY CANNOT BE AMENDED “
– Late Chief Idris Oladare Obahopo (1939–2011)
