Fola Adeola's Governorship Campaign Posters Flood Ogun State by yusods(m): 7:54am On Aug 22, 2013
Campaign posters and banners of the former Managing Director of Guaranty Trust Bank Plc, Mr. Fola Adeola, on Wednesday flooded Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.

Surprised residents of the Abeokuta metropolis woke up to behold the campaign posters and banners announcing Adeola’s readiness to join the governorship race in Ogun State on the platform of the newly registered All Progressives Congress.

The development occurred barely a month after chairmen of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria in the 20 local government areas of the state endorsed the incumbent Governor Ibikunle Amosun for a second term.

But the campaign posters and banners bearing the APC logo, party slogan and the inscription: “Change 2015, Fola Adeola for Governor” were believed to be the first step by the financial guru to dabble in the politics of his home state.

The posters and banners of the running mate to the former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu in the 2011 presidential election, which were pasted in strategic locations of the metropolis, were prominent and conspicuous in Itoku, Isale Igbein, Ijaiye, Obantoko, Ake, Totoro, Iyana Mortuary and Lafenwa/Ayetoro Road areas.

Adeola and Ribadu contested for the Presidency on the platform of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria. The renowned banker could however not be reached by our correspondent for his comments.

But in his reaction, the State Publicity Secretary of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change, Sina Oduntan, said the development was a normal thing. He said everyone had the right to show interest in any elective position in the party.

He, however, described the recent action of the chairmen of the defunct ACN in the 20 local government areas of the state as “just an endorsement”, stressing that it was not a consensus reached by the whole party.

“The governorship candidate will emerge from the state congress. Whether it is unopposed or not, the recent endorsement of Amosun is different from the consensus of the party, which is going to take place.

Thank you God that i finally made front page in less than a week of commenting of Nairaland. thank you to my boss for making my work lighter this morning. this success story is yours.

@topic, the man should start a financial consulting firm instead of dabbling into politics and wasting his saved up income.
Re: Fola Adeola's Governorship Campaign Posters Flood Ogun State by JOFF: 9:59am On Aug 22, 2013
I hope Fola is not making mistakes? well he wants to remain relevant I guess and possibly to get another political appointment incase he loses.
best of luck!

How did you come to this conclusion? Even in the article we can discern that this is personal ambition at work which everyone is entitled to entertain:

But in his reaction, the State Publicity Secretary of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change, Sina Oduntan, said the development was a normal thing. He said everyone had the right to show interest in any elective position in the party.

@topic.

Good to see that the OBJ model has now been destroyed. It is no longer thugs and crooks who queue up to occupy important positions in the SW. It now appears, as against what obtained under OBJ, politics in the SW is becoming the domain of proven achievers. Understated and wonderful development. Perhaps the most important systematic change many do not acknowledge.

Adeola is an impressive guy so he is entitled to follow his ambition but it is likely Amosun will get the APC ticket easily because of the level of work he is doing and the considerable achievement he has delivered and is delivering.

A welcomed development that it appears the system has changed in the SW to now facilitate the situation that obtains in progressive nations worldwide whereby 'good guys', achievers and talented thinkers get involved in vying for important office with a good chance of being supported to win. That is the surest template for development and it is what is responsible for the progress some of our universally-lauded African fellow Countries are making.

Good point. Even as Amosun is doing fine, the calibre of those wanting to challenge him is impressive. This is very,very,very important beyond words and something which can only be appreciated looking at others. When people, to spite Nigeria, say Ghana, Botswana and others are doing well, I always reply that those Countries are doing nothing special. They are only using round pegs in round holes. A no-brainer template for development.

The day we begin to do that in Nigeria is the day every corner of the Country begins to see progress made that will always be sustained and consolidated upon because incoming administrator are as talented as those they are replacing. Nigeria's problem is that we are still seeing talented candidates being disqualified and frozen out by the machination of those who fear development of the land and the people in it.

That GTBank is what it is Today csnt be without the giant strides of Uncle Fola..

We all know GTBank to be one of the most Professional, Ethical and Solid when it comes to Capitalisation..

This is Good for Democracy, we Truly Know where the brains in this country are from.. The South/West are wey too Progressive minded..

Uncle Fola Adeola is a man of impeachable character, Amosun is a perfect Gentleman, if you ask me, this Healthy Competition is Good for Democracy..

I would be very Glad if Fola Adeola can Run Ogun state like he did with GTBank..

Omo Ogun ni mi, I'm a soldier Boy, they call me Akogun.. *Dagrin's Voice. (RIP)..

Omo Ogun.. Ise ya.

Everybody steals money in your village ba..
Have you ever heard any count of fraud or sharp practices leveled against Fola Adeola when he was in charge at GTBank, or does GTBAnk look like its not a Healthy bank?

When people work hard and earn money, people like you would go about blabbing "Stolen Money". Have you ever lodged you money with GTBank and go back to check your balance and not meet your money there? So how is his wealth stolen money? Or don't you know a labourer is worthy of his wages..

Don't bring this your bad mouth into a credible, hard working, impeccable candidate in Fola Adeola. He's a man with Credible Track record of Performance..
