The reporter, who gave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) the umbrella as its symbol, Gboyega Amobonye, has demanded a copyright fee of N50million from the party, payable from its recent windfall of N3billion collected from political office seekers.
In a press statement, Gboyega Amobonye congratulated the party for realising the money but urged its leadership to use the opportunity to compensate him for his intellectual property which has been working wonders since its trial with the local government elections of December 5, 1998, as well as the governorship and state legislature elections of January 9, 1999, all of which were swept by the party.
He recalled that the first chairman of the PDP, the late Chief Solomon Lar, had, shortly after the three elections, commended him for providing the winning symbol, explaining that, "apart from being a shelter, an umbrella is a symbol of authority in the North."

The veteran journalist, who had been calling for compensation by the party since 1998, said he had, in an open letter to President Goodluck Jonathan, published by The Sun on September 15, 2014 appealed to him to intervene as the leader of the PDP and father of the nation.
Amobonye, a former Political Editor with the defunct Concord Press Ltd, stated that he had on April 14, 2014, written a similar letter to the incumbent National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu'azu. He recalled an interview with a former Senate President, the late Dr. Chuba Okadigbo, published by Thisday on December 15, 2002 where he disclosed that the symbol of umbrella was given to the PDP by him (Amobonye).

Late Okadigbo was quoted to have said, "… the name, PDP, was suggested by me at the MUSON Centre in Lagos, including the symbol. There was a certain Yoruba guy in the Concord, who wrote me a letter, which has this symbol of umbrella; I thought it was interesting, so, I read it out and it was adopted.

.... Success is not really about the amount of money you have.Strippers in Lagos state earn as much as 150,000 naira weekly exposing their naked bodies in clubs.Also, some politicians steal public funds,and leave their people to suffer.The list of ungodly means of making money are endless.Can we say people who make lots of money by ungodly means are successful?The likes of Bill Gates and Aliko Dangote can never be poor simply because they have a solution to some of human problems.Bill Gate helps solve the problem of information technology.Dangote helps solve the problem of getting some basic needs like salt,cement,flour,steel,oil and gas and real estate.I think success is fulfilling your destiny on earth,and achieving your vision.A lot of rich people today are not successful.What is your own definition of success??? ....
