through thick and thin in the industry as a thorough bred broadcaster and a globally applauded public relations guru.
I remember that on the occasion of his 70th birthday anniversary in his home town of Ede,the whole world was practically at his feet.

That prophecy has come to pass.
Thanks to Almighty God who used Alhaji Olumide Lawal to bring the mighty and the lows together in that hotel arena where God answered prayer.
