Garba Shehu
As the Head of the Features desk at the Triumph Newspapers in Kano, I had an Abiola fan who reported to me as Column writer and producer of weekly religious news pages. The late Shehu Garba (a namesake) was full of fascination for the late M.K.O. Abiola. Shehu and some other Muslim activists had engaged the Islamic old order in the North in a fight, trying to secure a befitting place for the late philanthropist in the Muslim religious establishment in Nigeria.
