When a party is besieged by exits, its leaders often retreat to consult its foundational figures, seeking wisdom, strategy, or perhaps simply solace. This pilgrimage to Abeokuta is less a routine visit and more a symbolic gathering in the eye of a political storm, where the past is summoned to address a turbulent present.
