Asiwaju and I hold the most important positions in this country, not because of our intellectual acumen or political acumen, but purely by the grace of God.
“We do not hold our positions because of our physical prowess, and certainly not because of our origins. There are people with a superior origin than us. It is a gift from God and a call to serve humanity for a very short time, and the impact we make in the lives of our people will determine our position here and in the hereafter.
