Late Lateef Jakande Lived Democracy On Earth – Owolabi Salis

2019 governorship candidate of the Alliance for Democracy, AD, Chief Owolabi Salis has come out to say that the late Pa Lateef Jakande lived the democracy other leaders in the country preach, but do not practise.

He recently revealed this in a statement shared from America, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the deceased was definitely a faithful and true governor of the people, by the people, and for the people.

He added that it is sad to see how Nigerians were unable to back his party because they did not understand that he wanted to continue with services to humanity through the platform.

His words, “I contested in the governorship election of Lagos State on the platform of Alhaji Lateef Jakande-led Action Party of Nigeria, APN, in 2007 after being disqualified by Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.”

“Baba and I, many times, have sat down discussing the poor people— how to upgrade them.”

“It was so painful then that the people were unable to back his party because they did not understand that he wanted to continue with services to humanity through the party.”

“He has lived a great and good life and gave the people the true dividends of democracy that most leaders promise on paper, but never practised in deed.”
