The attention of Gboyega Oyetola
Campaing Organization has been reluctantly drawn to what could be described as
public self contradiction on a radio station in Osogbo by the former secretary
to the State of Osun government, Alhaji Moshood Adeoti on issues and activities
that preceded the governorship primary election of All Progressives Congress
recently held in the state. The Campaign Organization wishes to state that were
it not that the flag bearer of All Progressives Congress was part of the open
and competitive process, the content of the radio interview did not produce
news that has changed the narrative of un-sportsmanship behavior exhibit by the
onetime party chairman in the course of the primary election. The former SSG
has though succeeded in contradicting himself by acknowledging success already
recorded by the government in the course of the radio program, the claim that
he is popular within the party came to naught by running away from direct
primary which would have allowed all members to make a free choice without
being represented. The Organization strongly wishes to contend that the process
of picking candidate and flag bearers of the All Progressives Congress is well
spelt out in the party's constitution, thus these becomes incredible that the
self acclaimed man-to beat abandoned the ship at deep sea. One would have
imagined the state of the mind of Alhaji Adeoti while the contest for the
party's ticket was on so much that he had to, on a radio station discredit and
malign credible party leaders including Dr. Peter Babalola, Dr. Ismail
Saka-Layoonu, a senior silk, Mr Gboyega Alabi and Rt Honourable Najeem Salaam
as being complacent and conspirators against their individual selves in the
race to win the ticket. Interestingly Alhaji Adeoti in his being clever by half
acknowledged the exploit of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola with whom he worked to
create the good legacies for more than seven years before he jumped the ship
failed to acknowledge dedicated thirty kilometers of township roads, modern
school infrastructure, security, functional health and ambulance services
latched on the contentious Iwo-Osogbo road which was unattended to by the
defunct PDP Federal Government but enjoyed intervention of Aregbesola government
and were it not paucity of funds the contract has already being awarded.
Unfortunately, the tenure of another candidate from the West Senatorial
District Alhaji Fatai Akinbade had an opportunity to work on the road but
diverted the repair to his home town, Ogbaagba as against the main road that
could have eased the problems of transportation of the mass majority of the
people. The campaign organization also took an exception to Alhaji Adeoti's
commendation especially on the need to consolidate on the legacies of
Aregbesola only to turn round empty on what specifically he would do
differently if he ever accidentally seizes power. Though not surprised by the
public exhibition of incompetence by Alhaji Moshood Adeoti against himself, he
was not forthcoming about how he deliberately lobbied all figures both in Lagos
and Osun including retired military generals to be appointed the SSG even when
the party chairmanship was lucrative and more rewarding to identify party
members who had worked assiduously to ensure the victory for Ogbeni Aregbesola
at the poll.
