Ogun 2027: Senator Olamilekan Adeola is a trailblazer

Ordinarily, it would have amounted to a mere waste of precious time and unnecessary dissipation of energy for anyone to react to a wrongly captioned and inconsequential write-up captioned “ Ogun 2027: Olamilekan Not The Best Foot To Put Forward As APC governorship candidate” that appeared over the weekend in an equally unknown online blog.

The entire piece is not only laden with grammatical errors and crass misrepresentation of facts on the political events in Ogun West and its agitation for governorship aspiration in 2027; it is largely infused with absolute falsehood and pathetic innuendoes typical of goofy and crafty charlatans.

It is often said that “when an irrational person says something irrational, you don’t have to reply to him, because it is nonsense to shoo every barking dog away”.

Authored by half-wit turn coat politicians hiding behind one finger using a pseudo character, Hakeem Adisa pretending to be writing from Idiroko-Yewa, the piece is certainly dead on arrival as it has failed to achieve the nefarious agenda of its frustrated dramatic personae. This is because the good people of Ogun West are neither politically naïve nor gullible to believe such lies and contrived propaganda emanating from the jaundiced view of some morally and politically bankrupt individuals.

However, this response has become politically expedient to unmask the infantile and naivety of the amateurish article and to guide the reading public against misinformation by certain politicians who will always be remembered as spooky characters from a horror movie! These are people who are always trying to solve their own problems and selfish economic agenda under the pretext of representing the common interests of the people. The truth (Yayi’s phenomenon) is still the truth even if his enemies do not believes it, conversely, lies as characterized by the infamous article under reference are still lies no matter how well they are embellished.

The crux of the matter and the only reason why these fifth columnists are having sleepless nights is nothing but the unquenchable glowing flame of Yayi’s unprecedented accomplishments and the clarion calls for him to run for the Governor of our great state in 2027.

To some belligerent and never -do-well political jobbers in Ogun West Senatorial District, Adeola’s ever rising political profile through his numerous farewell to poverty empowerment programs and unbeatable capital projects across the nooks and crannies of the senatorial district and beyond which have attracted national commendations have continued to be a nightmare.

They have not fully come to terms with the fact that it is no longer politics as usual in Ogun West and the days of riding on the backs of the good people of Ogun West in the name of “Yewa for Governor “ to nature their epileptic business enterprises but delivering bad fortunes to the good people of Yewa, are over. So, they must do anything and everything to put out the glowing flame now beaming progressive light on the Ogun West political space as evidenced by the good works of Senator Adeola Yayi who has suddenly repositioned Ogun West in the country’s contemporary politics. Needless to say that politics is not a business but rather a call to serve God and humanity. This is the cause of their affliction and the main reason why they are calling Senator Yayi bad names and making spurious names and making spurious allegations against him.

What they fail to realise, however, is that Senator Adeola’s governorship aspiration apart from being his genuine desire to serve, also represents a mass movement by the marginalised people of Ogun State to take their destinies into their own hands by electing a servant leader who understands their endemic problems and who will ensure their greatest happiness by serving the common interests of the people based on his credibility, humanitarianism, good character, wealth of successful political experience, empathic leadership and philanthropy.

Because it is often said that the voice of the people is the voice of the God, I can safely say here that the people’s movement to have Senator Yayi run for the governor of Ogun State in 2027 shall be ordained by God and supported by men and women of goodwill in Ogun State. That being the case, can millions of “Hakeems” and they paymasters in their desperation and jaundiced vituperation turn back the wheel of progress or challenge the will of God and the determination of the people?

This rejoinder is therefore not intended to join issues with the fictitious Hakeem in his failed and puerile attempts at disparaging the personality of Senator Olamilekan Adeola or create discord between him and some top politicians in Ogun West and beyond for as I said earlier, it has both failed to pull a strand of hair from Yayi’s head or deceive the public into believing their moonlight stories.

What the faceless writer and his political nincompoops fail to know or blatantly in their despicable ways, refuse to acknowledge is that Senator Olamilekan Adeola not only enjoys the support and loyalty of the good people of Ogun West, he has also succeeded in building bridges of progress and solidarity across Ogun State. So, the ‘coalition of core Yewa political and traditional leaders’ in the Senatorial District opposing Yayi’s aspiration only exists only in the imagination of those who propound the infamous “kinetic theory” of political propaganda.

Interestingly, having failed woefully to stop Senator Yayi from coming home to his fatherland of Yewa, they have now shifted the goalposts and began a new series of attacks and propaganda under the pretext of a mundane political catapult codenamed “Core Yewa”.

Who determines the paternity of who? My advise to those who think they are the core Yewas, particularly those behind this attack, is to take heed and be careful of what they wish for because a Yoruba adage says that : ti a ba ka eru, inu eru a baje (if we should count slaves, some slaves will be stunned to their stomach).

In his hallucination and crass ignorance of raging political events in Ogun West, the failed writer stated that Senator Adeola might not be the best ‘foot’, meaning the best candidate Ogun West should put forward for the governorship race, claiming his ancestry as authentic Yewaman is still in question. A sad and very stale commentary that has long been consigned to ignominy! Many of those peddling such wicked and unsubstantiated claims have since retraced their steps and joined Adeola’s swelling army of supporters across Ogun West!

The people of Ogun West and indeed from all over Ogun State are unanimous in their choice and clamor for Adeola’s governorship reality in 2027. Since his entrance into Ogun West political space, Yayi has brought an unprecedented infrastructural and human capita development to the zone. With numerous social, economic, education, health and road infrastructural development cited in all the nooks and crannies of Ogun West in the last two years, Aremo of Yewaland has left no one in doubt about his mission to liberate Ogun West from the many years of political obscurity and endemic poverty.

The blind could see and the deaf could hear that Senator Adeola is not only a political game changer but a statesman and liberator for the socio-economic emancipation of Ogun West Senatorial District. His political machinery in the West is not only formidable; he is also surrounded by unwavering, committed and loyal foot-solders working assiduously, creating necessary alliances across the divides for the realization of the collective wishes of the people.
