Former VP, Atiku Rolls Out N10m Cash Not Cheque At HID Awolowo’s Book Launch

I mean for a book, that might be too much...So former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, yesterday, caused a stir at the book launch on Chief (Mrs) HID Awolowo, when he ordered that N10 million cash be brought from his car for the launch.

Contrary to the expectation that every donor would issue cheques, Atiku, who was the Chief Presenter of the biography of HID Awolowo, In the Radiance of the Sage: The Life and Times of HID Awolowo, ordered that the money be brought and handed it over to the representative of the family.

What can that money do in Late Awolowo's life when millions of people need that money
