Meet Lai Mohammed – The Hardest Working Man in The Action Congress

It’s difficult to listen to radio or open the newspapers in Nigeria today, without listening to or reading about Alhaji Lai Mohammed at work. The National Publicity Secretary of the Action Congress political party never fails to use every opportunity to get the manifesto and opinions of his party across to the public via the media.

Mohammed has commented on every gaffe of the Obasanjo and Yar’Adua administrations. From OBJ’s third term agenda, to the Yar’Adua’s alleged ill health, the bungling of the 2008 budget and the missteps with the 2009 appropriation and Maurice Iwu’s INC’s Im(?)partiality – nothing that has happened in the polity in the last three years has escaped Iwu’s attention.

He’s become such a force that even the security agents of government now pay "special attention" to him. If only the other members of the Nigeria political class could take their jobs as seriously as he does his.
