McAlindon when he urged leaders “not to follow where the path may lead. But instead, they should go where there is no path and leave a trail”.

Between 1999 and 2007 when he served as Vice President to former President Olusegun Obasanjo, the administration recorded significant achievements that are difficult to ignore.
