Emergence Of Oyetola: Not Again In Osun State By Bayo Faforiji
The emergence of Mr Gboyega OYETOLA in the grossly manipulated primaries of the APC yesterday sends a clear signal to Osun indigenes that the Lagos neo-colonialists are hell bent on perpetuating their oppressive regime in Osun state at all cost.
In the build up to the primaries, which was “skewed” in favour of Mr Oyetola, to quote one of the aspirants, Alh. Adeoti, who incidentally withdrew from the race in the eve of the exercise, it was apparent that Ogbeni Aregbesola had already anointed Oyetola as his “heir apparent” for Bola Ige House, Abeere.
It didn’t come as a big surprise that some aspirants who had their dignity in tact decided to avoid being dragged in the mud by the process, thus withdrawing tactically from the entire charade! I salute the courage of Alh. Moshood Adeoti and Mr Peter Babalola for distancing themselves from the entire process!
The withdrawal of these gentlemen makes the whole process a hogwash and a monumental fraud!
Now that the “chosen one” has been anointed, what should be the expectation of the suffering masses in Osun state?
In the past almost eight years, Osun state has witnessed an unprecedented series of calamities that are better imagined than experienced!
Osun people have suffered enough in the hands of this administration so much that “continuity” is definitely not an option.
This is the time to restore the lost glory of our dear state and repair all damages inflicted on our psyche during this tortuous hegemony.
This regime must be prevented from perpetuating itself. We must all rise up to defend our common heritage and rescue our state from these retrogressive overlords from Lagos.
The Social Democratic Party provides the much needed leverage for Osun state to escape from this straightjacket and embrace a new era of economic growth and development in our dear state.
I urge all indigenes and residents of Osun state to seize this golden opportunity to put an end to continued desecration of our land by voting against this anointed candidate on September 22nd.
May God deliver our state from oppressors.
Dr Bayo Faforiji,
Chairman,
