by Chief Ebenezer Obey that there is nothing you can do in this life that will please people.This music "The old man and his horse" is one of my favourite musics and it best explains what is going on between BRF and his distractors who have been waging media war against the former Lagos State Governor.
The distractors have been calling on PMB not to consider BRF for any position in his government. BRF has also fired his distractors back in a recent press release saying that "If you wrestling with a pig ,the pig will be happy that you get dirty". According to Fashola who was accused of having children outside wedlock, he said he never had any children outside wedlock but that he adopted some children who were victims of DANA air disaster in 2012.
I advise you get the press release and read the details. My concern here is to say that while am not holding brief for BRF, I just want to observe that to me the distractors have been very unfair to BRF.This guy ruled Lagos State for good eight years and I as a lawyer consider him to be a pride to our law profession because to me personally he did very well.I am not saying BRF is a saint, but in my yardstick for measuring good leader BRF qualifies as one.
One of the problems of politicians is power in African continent and Nigeria in particular is that some of them will drain the entire treasury without nothing to so for it at the end of the day,there are some who will chop money but will still remember the reason why they are in government because people will feel their positive impact economically ,socially , educationally and infrastructurally.
This later group of politicians are better than the former. Today will talk about the people like the Nigerian triplet (Nnamid Azikwe,Ahmadu Bello and Awolowo), Muritala Muhammed,Jakande, Mandela,Nyerere among others not because they were (are) saints but because they knew the reasons why they were in governments and people felt their positive impact when they were in governments.
