He also advised the president, Bola Tinubu, to remain steadfast in the pursuit of a just and egalitarian society, being the main agenda of late Bashorun Moshood Abiola, the winner of the June 12 Presidential Election, which endeared him to the generality of Nigerians that voted for him as president.
