<\/div>\n
It seems comedy goes with politics in Nigeria or how else can one explain<\/div>\n
the comical utterances credited to Chief John Odigie Oyegun, embattled<\/div>\n
national Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, (APC), whose desperation<\/div>\n
to retain his seat has pushed him into a frantic over-drive. During his<\/div>\n
recent visit not too long ago to Ekiti, where amongst other things, he<\/div>\n
promised to deliver the state into the change mantra. Nothing confirms his<\/div>\n
lack of depth and understanding of the political dynamic in the state like<\/div>\n
such reckless statements, perhaps made to appease and soothing frayed<\/div>\n
nerves in his badly polarised and fractionalized party.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Only recently, he was awarded with an extension of tenure of office and<\/div>\n
following the uproar and accusations and counter-accusations, he in a bid<\/div>\n
to deflect the weight of growing dissention in the South-West flank of the<\/div>\n
party, is ready to do even the unthinkable to win the sympathy and<\/div>\n
understanding of the aggrieved members. The expectation to divert attention<\/div>\n
from such illegality ought not to have made him make wild claims,<\/div>\n
especially as regards Ekiti. The weight of his utterances when juxtaposed<\/div>\n
with facts falls flat in the face of reality checks.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Perhaps Chief Oyegun has forgotten so soon or he is been clever by half of<\/div>\n
the fate that befell his party in 2014, where their candidate was roundly<\/div>\n
defeated across the entire local government areas. So shocked at that<\/div>\n
particular point in time that the then governor, John Kayode Fayemi<\/div>\n
declared, If it is the will of the people, so be it. Oyegun should do<\/div>\n
himself all the good in the world by understanding that in Ekiti the<\/div>\n
supremacy of the people and particularly of their attachment to the Peoples<\/div>\n
Democratic Party, (PDP), is evident for all to see. Having been thrashed by<\/div>\n
the people, the APC have suddenly woken from their deep slumber following<\/div>\n
their unprecedented defeat to what they are good at-propagating lies and<\/div>\n
tales of the absurdities which can do them no good.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Since their defeat in 2014, they have remained aloof, making assumption<\/div>\n
their tradition and now in the build-up to the July 2018 elections, they<\/div>\n
have taken to the social media to make outlandish claims. This false sense<\/div>\n
of pride is their undoing and I cannot wait till July to laugh them to<\/div>\n
scorn. A party that is paper weight and full of members pursuing different<\/div>\n
agenda in their wildest imagination think that they pose a serious<\/div>\n
challenge makes me laugh at them. Chief Oyegun and his band of followers<\/div>\n
should be prepared for the final tsunami that would bury them in shame,<\/div>\n
when the people of Ekiti elect their preferred candidate, Professor Olusola<\/div>\n
Eleka come July 2018.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It might interest Chief Oyegun to know why the PDP remains the preferred<\/div>\n
political party in Ekiti since 1999, when the state produced the lone<\/div>\n
Senator in the entire south west when the defunct Alliance for Democracy<\/div>\n
was the dominant party in the region. There is a saying that what you do<\/div>\n
not know is greater than you. How true. The APC bereft of simple logical<\/div>\n
appraisal of why the PDP and especially governor Fayose continue enjoy the<\/div>\n
fondness and admiration of the people since 2003. When lacking in all of<\/div>\n
these and not wanting to accept reality, they wallow in delusion. The APC<\/div>\n
remains in the dark, groping about as to why they are not the preferred<\/div>\n
party of choice in Ekiti.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It is increasingly worrisome that a party as fractionalized and threatening<\/div>\n
to collapse because of vaulting ambition of strange bedfellows mostly of<\/div>\n
inconsequential weight would remain driven by assumptions. Well, it is<\/div>\n
their stock in trade to live in denial until it is too late. It keeps<\/div>\n
happening since 2003, and yet this time around it would spell the end as<\/div>\n
they shall fade into absolute oblivion. I have ceased bordering myself<\/div>\n
about this tribe of people whose only hope is for a rigged process. They<\/div>\n
APC members keep mouthing their readiness to use federal might to upturn<\/div>\n
the scale of balance in their favour. How shallow can these people be?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Chief Oyegun caught the picture of a drowning man during his visit. His<\/div>\n
visit was so inconsequential that bickering within the party was evident.<\/div>\n
It is yet to dawn on him that no matter what is done by the APC in Ekiti,<\/div>\n
it will become an exercise in futility. Here is a party full of<\/div>\n
contradictions and squabbles thinking they pose a threat to the PDP. The<\/div>\n
party is stroked in Ekiti, yet they deceive themselves by resorting to<\/div>\n
making wild claims and making noise-as though that is what will bring them<\/div>\n
to power. Contending interests and candidates without electoral value whom<\/div>\n
populate their ranks makes them think important. They assumes that Ekiti<\/div>\n
will be grabbed-let them wait and see.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It is the nature of the APC to throw tantrums, bandy lies and wild claims<\/div>\n
to appear important. Most recently, all of their candidates are falling<\/div>\n
over each other to put down the peoples governor-Ayode Fayose, whose<\/div>\n
sterling leadership of both the state and the PDP remains a nightmare to<\/div>\n
them in the APC. It is in their nature, a nature that has keeps dragging<\/div>\n
them to the nadir of the political rung in the state to live in denial. I<\/div>\n
pity Chief Oyegun who evidently has been misinformed but he can educate<\/div>\n
himself about the political dynamic in Ekiti. Talk is cheap and anybody can<\/div>\n
wail forever but the peoples choice will prevail. That is the beauty of<\/div>\n
democracy. Their pain at seeing Fayose as governor is giving them insomnia<\/div>\n
even as he is on the verge of leaving office.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
They are fixated on him to their detriment. They have not told the people<\/div>\n
what they want to do if even by accident get power. Their battle cry is<\/div>\n
Fayose this, Fayose that-nothing else. No agenda, no programme to even<\/div>\n
sustain the transformation on ground. Well, their waterloo is around the<\/div>\n
corner. These obnoxious charlatans would be retried permanently for the<\/div>\n
development which Fayose has fostered to continue. Contrary to their<\/div>\n
propaganda on social media platforms, they are so inconsequential in the<\/div>\n
eyes of the electorates that they do not attract even a filial of<\/div>\n
attention. Their doom looms and rather embark on massive campaigns, their<\/div>\n
multiplicity of candidates are enamoured with running down Fayose whose<\/div>\n
stock is high with the people of the state.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Fayose has articulated the reason(s) for continuity. The choice of<\/div>\n
Professor Olusola Eleka tallies with the aspiration of the greater majority<\/div>\n
of the people of the state. It is to sustain the massive transformation<\/div>\n
undertaken by the PDP led administration in the state. Eleka is urbane,<\/div>\n
humble and visionary to sustain the tempo. He has made some promises. Why<\/div>\n
the opposition remains frightened, he has continued to meet with diverse<\/div>\n
groups with his agenda. He has promised a compact but highly professional<\/div>\n
government based on present economic realities. He equally gave his word<\/div>\n
for enhanced packages for workers as well as reforming the state civil<\/div>\n
service by exposing the workers to the diverse trainings that would enhance<\/div>\n
their productivity.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
More importantly, Elelka, has promised welfarist programmes like the doyen<\/div>\n
of Nigerian politics Awolowo did during his stint in the defunct Western<\/div>\n
region. As a scholar, he has conducted due diligence and research on the<\/div>\n
immediate and future needs of the state and is ready to tackle those<\/div>\n
challenges head-on. He has demonstrated capacity in the recent past as<\/div>\n
deputy governor. Still roaring with ideas, it is only fair to support him<\/div>\n
in his quest to take Ekiti to the next level. This is why Chief Oyegun and<\/div>\n
his cohorts should know that the good people of Ekiti have pitched their<\/div>\n
tents with the amiable and effective deputy governor.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The APC members, especially its leadership are drunk to stupor on<\/div>\n
fallacies. One of which is that they are on ground in Ekiti. What a pity.<\/div>\n
Their unthinking cadre have since bought into this lie. Hooked and having<\/div>\n
swallowed hook, line and sinker the notion that they would snatch the state<\/div>\n
from the PDP through a rigged process, they simply boast of the D-day with<\/div>\n
relish. Their enthusiasm is hanged on false hope that President Muhammadu<\/div>\n
Buhari would deploy security forces to manipulate the process to their<\/div>\n
favour. Why they remain poor students of history is unpardonable. I can<\/div>\n
pardon Oyegun for having no regard for facts, or how else did he arrive at<\/div>\n
the jaundiced view that a paper weight party such as the APC would win in<\/div>\n
Ekiti.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Finally, Chief Oyegun should quickly commence a reality check and not rely<\/div>\n
on the distortions and outright lies which he was served either before or<\/div>\n
during his recent visit to Ekiti. In Ekiti, we have elected to stand by<\/div>\n
Eleka. He is our preferred candidate and to him shall we entrust the task<\/div>\n
of leading us into the promise land. He is a committed development oriented<\/div>\n
scholar.<\/div>\n
