"It will,
I believe, be generally agreed that eradication of corruption from any society
is not just a difficult task; it is without dispute, an impossible objective"-
Chief Obafemi Awolowo
He said this quote on August
18, 1975. It must be noted that Nigeria was under military rule during this
time and there was a ban on political activities.
The former premier of the Western region later went on to contest for the presidency (when the ban on political activity was lifted after 12 years) in 1979 and 1983 where he lost to Shehu Shagari both times before another millitary coup.
