We Need Alliances To Destroy Extremism-Osinbajo
CHIEF Olusegun Osoba’s illustrious career as a journalist and later politician, have also by some uncanny stroke of good fortune placed him at the centre of many defining moments and situations of post-Independent Nigeria.
Arguably the most memorable is his January 1966 scoop; the tragic discovery of the bodies of Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa and Finance Minister Festus Okotie-Eboh, not long after the coup that ended Nigeria’s first Republic.
He was there on the frontlines in many sectors of the Civil War, recording and reporting the horrors and tragedies of a factional war. And it was he who witnessed the surprise visit of Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe to Lagos during the Civil War.
