From June 12, 2019, the Abuja stadium will now be officially called the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja. That President Buhari chose a sports edifice, the magnificent sports complex in Africa (until it started to suffer shameful neglect) is a testimony to how important sport was seen in the life of the great Nigerian political hero, and how powerful sport could be as a legacy vehicle.  So, it is meet and proper that I write about Chief even if I did not know him as closely as many others that have been eulogizing him in all the media did within the political space. My responsibility is to tell my own little story.  I loved Chief to bits."}
