Anyone who says I bleach is stupid –Alao-Akala

Chief Adebayo Alao-Akala

Former governor of Oyo State, Chief Adebayo Alao-Akala, in an interview clears the air on some contentious issues;

How did you get enlisted into the Nigerian Police?

It wasn’t accidental that I became a policeman.  It was a dream I nursed as a young lad. I had wanted to be enlisted in a profession where I would wear uniform. I would have loved to be in the military but unfortunately, the day I was to write a test for the police force was the very day the enlistment into the Army was done. I remember enlistment into the Army was fixed for The Polytechnic, Ibadan. I don’t know why those in charge did that. My number was WS44 in 1973. In the police, I would spend one year and become an officer. In the army short service, I would spend six months and I would become an officer. In the Army short service, there was a limit to where I could get to move but for full course, I would spend three years. I then decided to go for the police.

Muhammadu Buhari Has A Say On Obasanjo's Letter To Jonathan

A former military ruler of Nigeria; Major General (rtd.) Muhammad Buhari published his thoughts concerning the controversial letter of ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo to President Goodluck Jonathan thus;

"The Obasanjo letter did not come as any surprise to us. No right thinking Nigerian will choose to ignore the apalling descent to anarchy that Nigeria is experiencing under this government.

The good people of this country are equally oppressed by the PDP regimes of both Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan. Therefore, while we have the right to demand accountability for the pertinent issues raised in the said letter, we also have the moral responsibility to question the sincerity of the messenger, and to condemn and reject the duo (Obasanjo and Jonathan) for their crimes against the good people of this country. 

The destiny of Nigeria is the destiny of 170 million of us. No single individual, no single tribe, religion, political party or region can usurp this destiny for its selfish whim. Our strength and unity is national, not regional. There are attempts by the PDP to undermine this hard-earned national unity, we must guard against such manipulations with utmost vigilance".
