In the minds of these inconsistent<br \/>\npoliticians, it is all about interest and changes in perspectives.<br \/>\nThis scenario is currently playing itself out in the politics of Oyo<br \/>\nstate as Alao Akala has decided to jettison his governorship ambition<br \/>\nto support the candidate of APC, Adebayo Adelabu.<br \/>\nBy this action, Akala has once again shown that he is not a man to be<br \/>\ntrusted and no amount of washing can remove the spots on leopard skin.<br \/>\nIt is unfortunate that some people are born not to stand for anything<br \/>\nand surely they must fall easily for anything.<br \/>\nAkala claimed that he decided to support Adelabu in the interest of<br \/>\npeople of Oyo state. Haba! \u2018Mr ATM\u2019, please stop it, this is not only<br \/>\nlaughable but a great insult on the collective intelligence of Oyo<br \/>\nstate people. You can only fool people once; you can\u2019t fool them all<br \/>\nthe time. I\u2019m particularly saddened that many candidates under your<br \/>\nparty, ADP will have their dreams shattered because of the action you<br \/>\ntook for your own selfish interest. You are not doing this in the<br \/>\ninterest of anybody but your own \u2018fucking\u2019 interest.<br \/>\nI really can\u2019t blame you; I blame the people who still see you as a<br \/>\nsort of messiah. Poverty of idea and principle are the foundation of<br \/>\nour problems in this country. And that is why people like you will<br \/>\ncontinue to play God in the lives of some myopic people who believe<br \/>\nthat their entire existence revolves around you. Bandwagon<br \/>\nfollowership is the reason why somebody like you and some other<br \/>\npoliticians will continue to take Nigerians for granted.<br \/>\nIt is not unremarkable the level at which Akala has decided to sell<br \/>\nhis conscience for self survival, but it is just so disheartening that<br \/>\nafter holding steady and drawing the admiration of many people in Oyo<br \/>\nstate, especially in Ogbomosho he could stoop so low as to even begin<br \/>\nto accept to work for somebody he once described as neophyte in<br \/>\npolitics. This change of fortune and hard time are not really good for<br \/>\n\u2018Oyato Gomina\u2019.<br \/>\nHere is something Akala must realise as he accepted APC proposal: APC<br \/>\nis more or less like a common prostitute. She does not want to be a<br \/>\n\u2018permanent bed partner\u2019 to anybody. So Akala should continue to make a<br \/>\nmockery of his very existential reality.<br \/>\nOyo state people were happy when the news first filtered in that<br \/>\nopposition are having a near-perfect working partnership that will<br \/>\nmake it possible to support a candidate for March 9, gubernatorial<br \/>\nelection in Oyo state. But now greed reigns in Oyo. Betrayal is the<br \/>\norder of the day and the once vocal Akala has been silenced.<br \/>\nAkala should remember that one day; the chickens will come home to<br \/>\nroost. Over the years, we have seen what has become of political<br \/>\nprostitutes and inconsistent politicians.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Alaba Abdulrazak An apt description of the events in Oyo state in the last one week has further buttressed the fact that in politics especially the one we practice&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":65243,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-65242","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles-opinions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
