"Baba has only one car at the time he died; I am not even sure he has up to N1 million in his. account before he died," she said.
.
The daughter said that she had cause to have a one-on-one discussion with her father as they travelled abroad on his medical trip.
.
She said that she asked the late politician why he did not amass wealth and build houses like other politicians but that the reply she got from him was on how he was educated on other people's sweat.
.
"They contributed their sweat to send me to school; I cannot forget that," she quoted Lar as saying to her.
.
She said that rather than telling her why he remained poor, the deceased stressed the need for his children to strive for good name.
