Femi Gbajabiamila: For demonstrating uncommon fairness towards a stronger Nigerian union when he declined to consider a flawed loan structured to exclude a region. By rejecting the loan, already passed by the Senate, despite concerns from the affected constituency, Speaker Gbajabiamila rose above his party and the current government, to serve his country with honor and decency. We celebrate him today, and quote his inspiring words – “Equity suggests that all zones must be carried along” – for all Nigerians, as we honour him as Tekedia Person of the Quarter, Q1 2020.
