https://mathematical7.com/m7/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/hand_writing.jpg275183A certain gloom was lifted off my mind this past weekend. Week by week throughout the 8 months of my adventure in Ogun State politics, Tunde Kelani, TK, my friend of almost 50 years, had been amused, entertained and horrified by my tales on the road, often expressing disbelief that life could sink to the depths Ayodeji and I described to him at those nocturnal debriefings. At the end of one such conversation, utterly flustered, he asked: ‘where do we start from in tackling the problems?’. Of course, there was no simple or single answer to that loaded question. The challenges are too many. Our conclusion was that there was an urgent and present danger to the South West within the present unfolding political situation in Nigeria that poses a serious existential threat to the people of the zone if not handled wisely and quickly. With other news added to my state of mind, I fell into a dark place in my mind from which there seemed to be no escape. Until this past weekend.
