And someone just pointed at me and said 'come here I want your Number' i was looking behind me probably Asiwaju was calling somebody behind me. I looked behind and he affirmed that it was me. Then he called 'lukmon collect this man's number, I like what you are doing'. That was my one-on-one experience with him. It was a big deal for me because how can someone so busy, someone with that repute... And out of probably 10,000 crowds he pointed at me"
