“The zeal to identify with my people, the grassroots people. The zeal to promote development in my community. The zeal to right the wrong. As a banker, I worked in the inspectorate division. The June 12 junta put all progressive minded people on the streets to fight the injustice against MKO Abiola’s mandate. I was in the forefront leading many professionals on the streets of Lagos. It was this agitation that propelled me from professional banking into partisan politics – to right the wrong.”
