[AISAGBON OMOGIADE]

I was told that Gowon told George Papadopoulos, the late greek dictator that Nigeria has money but does not know what to do with it,when the Col. drew his attention to the fact that,the few Nigerians then, who were schooling in greek universities were on the scholarship of the greek government.
That obviously was the young Nigerian general/ head of State who got to that position by the design of destiny.Today, Gowon is a professor of Political Science.He has every right to make an attempt to give any political solution to political problems in accordance with his political analysis.
Abati is a lawyer and the two men he refered to their postions on the subject matter, are lawyers as well.A professor of political science who is worthy of his title may not have a need for the assistance of a speech-witer when trying to postulate his opinions.

I am one of Abati's many admirers.His criticism of Gowon on this piece in my opinion, is very sweeping.He unknowingly opened a new avenue for those who hate him because he was the head of state during the Nigerian/ Biafran war, to pour venomous invectives on him.
