Time to jettison state of origin for state of abode —Idahosa

At 70 what memories can you remember, either as regrets or happy ones?

The man said it was possible but very expensive. I told him to write a proposal and give it to us; that we knew how to source the money. What happened with all sense of modesty is that when I was aspiring to go to the Senate, I discovered that most of those running with me didn’t even know what they were going there to do. They were saying I will build roads, I will build bridges and build hospitals.

When I got there, I met some prominent Nigerians including the late Stella Obasanjo. After some talk, they said our father was interested. Meanwhile, I had paid N1million already. Till today, I have not been refunded that one million naira. They told us that there would be no primary which was why I called that press briefing to call off the campaign.

In Oshiomhole’s administration, as a political adviser, he called me and said he wanted a particular person to go to the Senate and I said, I don’t support the person but another. We went to the field and I defeated him. That is something that cannot happen now. The governor cannot talk and a commissioner or adviser will say no. That is Oshiomhole for you, but we clashed. I have no regrets. Anytime we run into each other we will greet each other.
