Dr Faruk Umar, seen in the picture with me listening to the late elected PRESIDENT of Nigeria was himself a beneficiary of MKO’s philanthropic activities. He paid the money needed by Faruk to finish his doctoral studies overseas. Naturally, Faruk who was my own teacher in college offered himself as a frontline campaigner.”
