Musiliu Obanikoro, a former minister of state for defense has warned against turning the nation into a banana republic by those kicking and protesting against Sen. Bola Tinubu&#8217;s inauguration on May 29.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The comment was made by Obanikoro, who is also a former ambassador to Ghana, to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Lagos, outside of the 9th Ramadan Lecture of the Anwar-Ul Islam College, Agege Old Students&#8217; Association (ACAOSA).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Several past students of the institution were present for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2023\/03\/31\/ramadan-god-wont-accept-your-fasting-youve-made-people-suffer-clerics-tell-yahoo-boys-election-riggers\/\">Ramadan Lecture<\/a>, according to NAN, including Obanikoro, Alhaji Tunde Balogun, the former chairman of the Lagos APC, government servants, technocrats, business owners, lawyers, and academics.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The lecture was titled, \u201cIslamic Perspective of a Good Governance: Any Lesson for Nigeria?\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2023\/03\/22\/obanikoro-demands-return-of-n200m-forfeited-to-efcc\/\">Obanikoro<\/a> said: \u201cThey are daydreaming. There is no perfect election anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cFor anyone that is not satisfied, what is next is to go through the judiciary. If you feel aggrieved, go to the court.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cWe cannot turn Nigeria into a banana republic.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cOur system is not perfect, it is a work in progress, we have to continue to work at it until we get to a situation that all of us will be comfortable with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Describing as sad and unfortunate the calls by some people for Interim National Government, Obanikoro said that those calling for it showed that they did not appreciate democracy, hence not qualified to lead such government.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cIt sounds crazy to me,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">On the Ramadan Lecture, Obanikoro, who described good governance as teaching of God in Quran and Bible, said that governance should be about putting people first.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThe idea\u00a0 is to help the vulnerable among us and create a society where we will be our brother\u2019s keepers.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThat is the essence of\u00a0 governance, and that is what the religion of Islam or Christianity is preaching almost on a daily basis,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Obanikoro, who was presented an award by ACAOSA for his contributions to the school through the association, said it was a privilege to give back to the school that had given them so much.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cGiving back comes naturally. I commend the ACAOSA for honouring us and we shall do more.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cAnytime you are recognised by your peers for doing something special, you have to appreciate it because you are not the only one, there are others\u00a0 too,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Commending the organisers for their tenacity, Obanikoro said that the association would continue to do more for the college.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Similarly, Alhaji Lawal Pedro (SAN),\u00a0 the President General, ACAOSA,\u00a0 also told NAN that those protesting against the May 29 inauguration of Tinubu were not democrats, saying \u201cthey are people who do not mean well for the country\u201d.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Maintaining that the election was relatively free and fair considering the number of states each of the major contenders won, Pedro urged those who lost to plan for the next electoral cycle.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThese people should not be tolerated, in fact the necessary authorities should go after them. If they have evidence of being rigged, they should take it to the court rather can constituting nuisance,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Also, Alhaji Tunde Balogun, former Lagos APC Chairman, another recipient of ACAOSA Life Time Award, said that the college had done a lot of positive things for him in life.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cMy life was shaped and given foundation by this college. I came into this school at age 14 and left when I was an adult.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cIt is was a great privilege for this school to have helped me in building my character and preparing me for what I do now,\u201d the former Senior Prefect Boy of the college said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Chairman of the day, Alhaji Fola Adeola, said that the school had produced so many great personalities in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Adeola, who was represented Mr Yinka Adeola, his brother,\u00a0 noted that the association was proud of the feats of the college in the area of academics, sports and others.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">NAN reports that other awardees include Alhaji S. Adeyanju, the first College Imam (<a href=\"tel:19601963\">1960-1963<\/a>); Dr A. Omofade, a former Permanent Secretary in Lagos State and\u00a0 Prof.\u00a0 Alade Akintonwa, former Dean, Faculty of Basic Sciences, College of Medicine, University of Lagos.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Others are\u00a0 Alhaji Rasaq Yusuf, a retired civil servant, and Alhaji Abdul-Ganiu Ajala, a Surveyor among others.
