He disclosed that his boss at the firm then was May Ellen Ezekiel Mofe-Damijo.
The PDP presidential aspirant wrote:
"I'm a child of destiny indeed... Just imagine how I was begging for a loan of N20,000 only from my Boss about 30 years ago to rent a house...
"The response came from my Publisher and Boss, Mrs. May Ellen Ezekiel Mofe-Damijo (RIP)..."
