April 1960 - And Here Are Two Of Our New Leaders -

April 1960 - And Here Are Two Of Our New Leaders - All Set For Glory:Chief S. L Akintola who succeeds Chief Awolowo as premier of the Western Region. Born fifty years ago, Chief Akintola even when he was a school teacher or a clerk in the Nigerian Railway Corporation, always behaved like a well-guided-rocket - he has blazed straight along his path. Hi his new post in Western Nigeria, he may find that oratory - and he is a very fine orator - is not all, that quick repartee - and he had no equal in the federal legislature - is not all, and that he must now learn to shed the irresponsibility of a backbencher, and the cantankerousness of a leader of opposition.
