Quotes “I grew up hearing my father, the Late Ado Bayero, always calling Kabiyesi Awujale my brother, so the brother of my father is my father. This is a royal father who has been on the throne for 64 years, so Awujale is an enigma, a royal father with difference and whose reign has no doubt been a blessing not only to Ijebu land but Nigeria as a whole,” “Kano is just a carbon copy, or rather I will say Ijebu is a carbon copy of Kano (laughs). I am sorry for being selfish, but the truth is we have a lot of things in common. Religion. Culture. Tradition and most importantly, like I said, the commercial activities.” “I am here in May and I hope to be back in August by God’s grace.” External Links
