WHO IS AFRAID OF LUKMAN MUSTAPHA?
While aligning with the writer “illumination kwara” that SOBI FM truly belongs to kwarans, as the radio station is envisioned to place premium on kwarans and always align with their yearnings and aspirations, since the official commissioning of the station we’ve observed with dismay, coordinated attempts to discredit the station and it’s Principal by painting him as a stooge of the state Government.
It is clearly one of those antics by some political desperados feeling intimidated by the outstanding achievements of Mallam Lukman Mustapha, professionally, business wise and above all his numerous philanthropy and humanitarian efforts.
This humble, sincere and innocent efforts, has made them see him and the new radio station SOBI 101.9 FM as a big threat to their selfish political ambitions and has therefore resulted to cheap blackmail.
Ironically, this new media outfit situated in his home state and specifically, his country home, Ilorin, is another pointer that the Mallam Lukman Mustapha is a die-hard lover and believer in Ilorin and kwara as a whole.
The radio station is a pride to all true born of ilorin emirate and kwara state as a whole, this is the first radio station to be owned by bonafide offspring of Sheikh Alimi.
How else can one prove his love and affection for his kinsmen than bring home multi-million naira investment, which has helped placed the historic Sobi hill on the lips of all and sundry Nationwide.
All true sons of ilorin knows the attachment Ilorin emirate has with SOBI hill, therefore, it was well thought out by Mallam Lukman Mustapha to situate this ultra-modern station on top the hill.
This radio station is not just here to entrench information balance and enhance social awareness, but also stimulate economic activities through the creation of employment opportunities for our Army of unemployed youths and other operational externalities.
This station couldn’t have come at any other time than now, when social vices is at its peak in ilorin metropolis, thereby robbing us of our values and respect as the bastion of peace and strict adherence to Islamic tenets.
It should be on record that as a Kwaran and seasoned banker whom has served in the capacity of Regional Manager (South west) covering Kwara, Ekiti, among others, whatever relationship that might have existed between Mall Lukman Mustapha and Kwara state government and its agents was purely official and not personal nor shady.
Mall Lukman Mustapha has been a revered professional with an unblemished record of excellence and any attempt to discredit his humble personality by linking him or his business to any politician or political office holder is an abuse to the sensibilities of all well meaning ilorite.
The incorporation records are at the Corporate Affairs Commission for whoever wishes to authenticate the fact as against the malicious inuendos being circulated against Sobi FM and its Boss by some enemy of ilorin and progress.
We’ve unmasked the personality of those behind the charade, we enjoin them to desist from soiling the name of prominent ilorites, else they meet their Waterloo.
We also use this opportunity to advise other privileged Sons and daughters of ilorin not to be discouraged by this malicious column, as we won’t hesitate to tackle fronterly anybody or group of persons that form clog in the wheel of progress of the development of Ilorin Emirate.
Long live Kwara!!!
