When Awolowo saw him, approached him and asked him "why crying for only me..." Jakande replied "I don't mind going to jail and even adding your terms to mine, why South West, why is it that the only Premier in Nigeria that will be jailed is the Premier of my Region?".                 Awolowo replied "Dry your tears, God sometimes keep His own away when danger is approaching...."

If Yoruba supported the break up, no Jupiter can stop it. Therefore, to keep Nigeria one, Awolowo must en...
