Description
Papa Awo was a very disciplined man. He programmed his life in such a way that he had himself prepared at all times. In other words, there was nothing he did that had not been adequately planned and arranged by him long before it was done. When Papa told Nigerians that he would no longer mount any soap box in Nigeria after the callous rigging of elections in 1983, not many people knew that Papa had already given hint of this situation as far back as 1969. On 30th March 1969 in a letter sent to the Sunday Times.
