It is a known fact that Ilorin, Kwara State-born Hajia Bola Shagaya’s wields influence in the corridors of power. A close friend of Nigeria’s First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, the duo is like two peas in a pod. Anyone who ever doubted this chummy relationship only needed to have been at the wedding hosted by the First Family last weekend in Bayelsa State.
Shagaya, who was a fulcrum of support, was seen dishing out orders and seeing to guests needs. Already, there are unconfirmed talks that her eldest son, Sherriff Shagaya, is set to embrace politics in their home state.
