RE: OLANIYAN DECIDED TO
BE SMART, WE SHOWED HIM WE ARE SMARTER (14/11/2022)
We read with amazement another
stage-managed interview of Hon. Dayo Ogungbenro, the chairman of the Oyo State
chapter of the PDP, made public on Sunday 13th November, 2022, where
among other things he reiterated all the already known half-truths and super-hyped pseudo-achievements of the
Governor Seyi Makinde led administration in Oyo State, forgetting well that the
good people of Oyo State are wise and politically savvy enough to identify a
well packaged scam even when properly coloured as real and cannot be taken for
granted into a repeat of a missionless trip into futility.
After rigorous blabbing
about a not-coming second term , the non-ending crisis of the Oyo PDP and an
ass-licking position on Ayu/Atiku imbroglio, the chairman took a field day in
highlighting how he and his co-travelers are smarter than the then Deputy
Governor, His Excellency, Engr. Rauf Olaniyan in the political crisis that led
to the charade called impeachment by his traducers. One would expect the
chairman to address the one important question in the lip of every well-meaning
and concerned Oyo indigene begging for answer, the question of the whereabout
and accountability due to the funds of the Local Governments in the state. We
are however not surprised by the chairman’s inability to provide cogent and
coherent responses to journalists’ questions concerning the heavy moral burden
on him and the office that he holds, considering his
access-through-the-window emergence into
the office and also, his classic display of lack of capacity to lead as
showcased in his inability to put Oyo PDP as one whole and his lack of courage
to reconcile major leaders that played key roles that delivered the 2019
electoral victory that the chairman enjoys today, all of whom have left the
party as a result of an unending display of dishonesty, insincerity and
penchant for reneging agreements.
Our leader, His
Excellency, Engr. Rauf Olaniyan is not in any smartness competition with
anyone, he however cannot help those who are hitting heads on the rocks,
intimidated by his impeccable profile of successful professionalism, integrity,
astuteness, courage, selflessness and candor. Olaniyan did not at any time,
show desperation or inordinate ambition as struggled to establish by his
traducers, his only offence was that he worked hard to build a profile that
keeps them perpetually intimidated.
A bigot of a leader
would be in a hurry to report the Deputy Governor’s moving to the opposition
party as a justification for their shenanigans while playing down his ordeals
in the hands of the vultures for a little above three years. All the
orchestration to send him into oblivion even when it was clear that he is the choice of
his people. The lawlessness that the chairman referred to as ‘being smarter’
was nothing but a rascally implemented impunity on the directive of a tyrannical
demigod whose expiry is just by the
corner. In your “smarterness” we have come to see how Olaniyan has epidemized
COVID-19 in Oyo, starting from the EXCO Chambers and all other laughable
assertions in his name all in a desperate bid to justify your act of lawlessness
and bitter politics.
Olaniyan is a man of integrity and has consistently towed the path of
peace and honour, no wonder his rising popularity up to national level and
expanding followership base, down to the farthest crannies of the state. The
task before Hon. Dayo Ogungbenro, the Oyo PDP chairman, is to fix the tattered umbrella of his party and to
come out clear to tell the good people of Oyo, the rationale behind all the over-bloated
elephant projects and also elucidate reasons for the deteriorating security
situation in the state as well as the poor health and understaffed health care
facilities and dilapidated classrooms at the several unfunded public schools in
the state. The broad daylight shooting in Bodija, the audacious kidnapping
along Ibadan-Lagos expressway and other numerous acts of insecurity all across
the state should bother a leader with honour and such is expected to have long
submitted his resignation letter willingly, not to be hiding behind the needle.
The incumbent, the party and its chairman are jittery of the rising
acceptability and popularity of the Distinguished Senator Teslim Kolawole Folarin (TKF), the APC gubernatorial candidate in the state,
APC flagbearers at all levels in Oyo State and the unbeatable leadership
profile of our supreme leader and the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola
Ahmed Tinubu. The Oyo chairman of PDP should face his mess as nothing can safe
their sinking ship from wrecking and His Excellency, Engr. Rauf Olaniyan is not
perturbed by your orchestrated idiocy, as he is waxing stronger by the day.
God bless Oyo State!!
