They believed we were playing games, so I explained that he had won the spelling bee, and my husband added that Ebuka Anisiobi had served as governor for a single day. Alex was the second person Tinubu heavily invested in after Ebuka. Alex Ezeanagu finished third (in the spelling bee), but he continued on to law school and graduated first \u201c.<\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: Jamila123 (via  Opera<br \/>News )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
