Speaking during a recent interview on Jay On Air TV, the broadcaster recounted her father’s fearless pro-democracy activism, detailing how his defiance against military dictatorship led to state intimidation, imprisonment, and eventual exile.

Imprisoned Alongside Beko Ransome-Kuti

According to Morayo, her father’s relentless public criticism of the Babangida regime made him a prime target for state security forces, leading to frequent harassment and detentions.

Key details shared during the interview include:

  • Relentless Persecution: Her father faced constant surveillance and intimidation due to his vocal stance against harmful government policies.

  • Shared Prison Cells: He was detained multiple times, sharing cell blocks with prominent human rights crusaders, including the late Dr. Beko Ransome-Kuti.

  • Forced Into Exile: As threats from the military government intensified, remaining in Nigeria became untenable, forcing him to flee the country to escape state-sponsored retaliation.

A Legacy of Courage and Conviction

Reflecting on how her father’s political battles shaped her personal outlook, Morayo highlighted his refusal to be silenced in the face of tyranny as her main inspiration.

“My father was an activist; I grew up knowing he was one of Babangida’s top enemies. Babangida deeply despised him and hated him with passion.

My father shared prison cells with Beko Ransome-Kuti and others. He had to go into exile because Babangida was chasing him.”

She added that witnessing his bravery firsthand instilled in her a lifelong commitment to speaking truth to power and standing firmly for her beliefs.
