News highlight: “We never said, we don’t want Oyetola.” –TOP
As though I stumbled across the news too lately, the high value of the news is appealing , as it taps a pleasant rhythm on the vexatious hullabaloo within the State of Osun All Progressives Congress (APC). Here is the news in full: “We have never said, we don’t want Mr. Governor. If God says, he’s the candidate and if the party re-presents him as its candidate, then we will support him.”
That’s a concordant note; of course, yes, it is the best resounding news to me, the confluence of my thought and the news. What linkage, what confluence? It is 4+4=8 mandate for Governor Gboyega Oyetola in office, a reality we all as one huge state- wide family of the governing party must work hard to achieve.
Alhaji Issa Azeez Adesiji, said to be the Vice Chairman of The Osun Progressive (TOP), a returning integral of Osun APC, dropped the news in a co-talk on a private radio Frequency Modulation, FM, reportedly, a Monday ago.
While the sparingly, meagerly others in Adesiji’s TOP may have nippled away at cynicism or skepticism, creating relentlessly superfluous, needless impulses, aggressive and combative for some centric agenda, irresistibly to infiltrate the party space from own orbit, socket or horizon but advertently, inadvertently attracting isolation instead, I feel comfortable at TOP, trending pull back from standoffish, unfriendliness with the party.
Good for the party, going by the well-disposed news, announcing TOP’s back down and forward march hand-in-glove with the party, to step up a with-it concert, conjoint for a landslide victory at the next governorship poll, and other elections ahead in Osun.
Again, good! The news has high penchant for turning upright from any awkward slant, all reconciliation with the identified aggrieved party members; kicking off increased trust and confidence; place- kicking augmented bargains for accord in re-enhanced strategic good faith; haunting for re-invigorated peace and congruence away from sentimental moods, emotions, unbridled interests and violence; and striking no odds against either side of the party’s phantom, invented or non-extant dichotomy.
And the news further propensity is swizzle sticking neither side of the party’s fictional, unreal fragmentation to the table of coercion; orchestrating redoubled consonance or harmony in the party; and ultimately, leading off the party’s Reconciliation Committee, ipso facto, to make the imaginary party divides come mechanical on kneels to the utmost leverage or authority, supremacy of the party. Why?
In our kind of democracy and elsewhere globally, any conflicts, entanglements or confrontations within a governing party that spiral out of control could spell an impasse, quagmire, slow-painful-passive, too costly a development, capable of churning or pulling up whopping, vast, sympathy-votes for opposition party.
The news cannot go for anything a bit of absurdity; clearly, it is not anything silly, folly or foolhardy; obviously, the news is not antagonistic, belligerent, resentful, class-feeling, ill-will or animus, strong feelings of dislike, with a burst to impress.
