It looks so challenging but it is an heculian task that must be performed by me personally amidst the tight schedule while preparing to go out soon for the 2nd phase of solidarity in honour of fallen Hero, Comrade Innocent Chukwuma of Cleen Foundation, at his end in Oregun, Ikeja, Lagos, by 11am.
According to a press release signed by the National Coordinator, Coalition for A Better Nigeria, Comrade AWA Bamiji, he said that Lagos State and Civil Societies, did the same thing last week Thursday, for the Late Comrade, Yinka Odumakin, the Spokesman of Afenifere.
Both of them are your close friends too. As a megaphone for the Organiser, time hardly permits me to divert my attention at this moment, exactly 5:00am, when the mobilisation has gotten to the peak but I repeat, we must give honour to whom honour is due.

When you people are surprising about my chain of successes in the struggles through precarious adverture, I always thank God and record it for you people collectively because nobody is an Island.
You all made me who I am today AWA or We in English. The name, that no single man can arrogate to himself.
