Senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, Garba Shehu has taken us down memory lane as he recalls moment when Chief MKO Abiola came to Kano to campaign in 1993. He stated Abiola's first stop was at his office when his was General Manager, Triumph Publishing Company. Garba recalled, He dropped his Agbada on a chair in my office then refreshed himself. He faced reporters in an interview and addressed the staff and other admirers on his mission in our premises as shown in the picture. Dr Faruk Umar, seen in the picture with me listening to the late elected PRESIDENT of Nigeria was himself a beneficiary of MKO's philanthropic activities. He paid the money needed by Faruk to finish his doctoral studies overseas. Naturally, Faruk who was my own teacher in college offered himself as a frontline campaigner.
