Today the late Michael Adekunle Ajasin’s house at Oke Ogun, in Owo , Ondo state can be ranked among the best houses in Owo but it was once an old one storey building and the only property the late Chief Adekunle Ajasin had in his life time. It was once an old structure but had been restructured to a modern house and now is serving the community as a computer learning centre ,it also has a library where students from secondary and institutions of higher learning come there to borrow books and read apart from this it has a museum where the treasured works, and materials of the sage are kept for the unborn generation to visit and ponder over.
The late Ajasin was the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) leader who fought the military to a standstill not minding his age and fragile health. He led the NADECO to fight against injustice especially when June 12,1993 presidential election supposedly to have been won by the late MKO Abiola was annulled by the then head of state General Ibrahim Babangida while an interim government was put in place and led by Chief Ernest Shonekan. Later, the late General Sanni Abacha came with his despotic reign and was not ready to leave the office while it was only the NADECO members had the gut to confront the dare devil.
Among the late NADECO’s chieftain displayed in his museum are : his Primary six leaving certificate, Grade III, Grade II certificates , Bachelor of Arts degree, he obtained from Fourahbay University of Sierra Leone. Others are his diaries where he wrote in cursive handwriting all his plans and messages showing how he was meticulous in his days .The museum also keeps the cartoons, paintings , photographs of the late old man from his young days, his marriage , when he was the first principal of Imade College and when he was the first civilian governor in Ondo state and many more.
According to Mrs Jumoke Anifowose, one of the children of the late chieftain ,all these materials are kept in the museum to encourage the younger ones to aspire high in their lifetime and to show the current politicians the type of politics played in the early 50s, 60s and to the late 70s and early 80s.
