ONDO CULTURE PROMOTER SOMI AJAYI PENS GLOWING TRIBUTES TO AKURE POLITICIAN DARE BADA AT 72
“…He is a member of several professional bodies, including the Royal Society of Medecine, Royal Society of Health, NMA, Association of General and Private Medical Practitioners of Nigeria, Haggai Institute Alumni Association…”
A man who has paid his dues in politics and to his immediate community. He’s simply called, Dr Bada
Like many other politicians, he might not have achieved politically as he had wanted to, but I believe his Ebenezeri will be louder
Everyone is destined in life, but who knows what would come his or her way tomorrow.
To get something done, you have to be calculative. Many times, your calculations might not work.
That’s where luck comes in. I said this because I was fully aware that Dr. Bada wished to become a governor of Ondo state at a point in time but didn’t work out
