And the sons of Abeokuta who were in Lagos put their heads together in late Chief Sobo Sowemimo\u2019s house to think of what they could do to improve the development of Abeokuta as a city. I pay tributes to all those founding members, those who have departed this world and those who are still here.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to thank the club for this honour being bestowed on me and the honour being bestowed on my school mate MKO Abiola which he richly deserved.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKabiyesi, the Alake (of Egbaland) alluded to it. Normally when you win a cup three times, you keep that cup. Isn\u2019t it? If not for bad belle, Abeokuta would have produced President of Nigeria three times, in which case we should have kept it permanently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut be that as it may, we have a great heritage. And we should be proud of our heritage. On this note, I will say on this occasion, I thank the President, the patron and grand patron, members of Board of Trustees, the executive; I want to say this, I will continue to contribute my quota to the development and growth of this club and by extension, the development and growth of Abeokuta, of Ogun State, of Nigeria, of African and indeed the of world in whichever way I could.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Obasanjo pledged his continuous commitment to the development to the club, Ogun state, Nigeria and the world.<\/p>\n<p>Alake of Egbaland Oba Adedotun Gbadebo while presenting the plague to Obasanjo, described Obasanjo and MKO Abiola as proud sons of Abeokuta, adding some \u201cbad blood\u201d didn\u2019t allow Abiola to emerge President.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Olusegun Obasanjo, Ex-President has revealed why former Military President, General Ibrahim Babangida annulled June 12, 1993 presidential election which was presumably won by late philanthropist, Moshood Kashimawo Abiola.
