By Senator Ojudu Babafemi
Something remarkable happened at the Federal Executive Council ( FEC ) today.
The experts working on the proposed rail line running from Lagos to Kano came to present their master plan.
The president gave full attention as they narrated how the line will go through OGUN, Oyo , Kwara , Kogi etc. The lines meandered and avoided Ekiti.
After they were through the President called the experts back to the map and asked them why they avoided Ekiti. They had no convincing explanation.
He firmly told them to go and redraw the line to pass through Ekiti.
It is a mark of a man with a large heart.
A different being would have done otherwise considering what the Ekiti governor has done to the President and his family.
Generations of Ekiti indigenes will be grateful to Mr President for this act of magnanimity.
Sen Babafemi Ojudu is the Special Adviser on Political matters to the President .
