Can an Ebora be idle? Perish the thought, for the Irunmale themselves might just strike you dead! Okay, but it’s just in saying!
Obasanjo made good news, with accompanying media pictures to boot, when newspapers reported that he was set to employ no less that 1000 Benue natives, in his new Obasanjo Farms Nigeria Ltd mango plantation; and its agro-processing arm, a fruit juice factory in Howe, Gwer East local government area of the state. That was November 2019.
Then on January 20, came Heritage Apparel, Obasanjo’s new garment-making investment, on the premises of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library , first in Africa! It’s such a salutary departure from the former president’s letter-writing days when, his critics insist, fear of being outshone goaded him to fire thunderous letters, like some weaponized lexis, at the powers-that-be, preaching what even he failed to achieve while in government, even after three different tries; and sending the polity into a tail spin!
