There are three things that Ayo Fayose
told me during a lively and prolonged
discussion in my hotel suite at the Ideal
Nest Hotel in Osogbo, Osun state a few
months ago. The first was that I would
eventually leave the APC and that the
reason that I hadn’t left at that time
was because I didn’t know them yet.
In order to prove his point he told me
about what they had put him through
when he left the PDP and joined their
ranks a few years back (they were
known as the ACN at the time) and how
after a series of betrayals,
misunderstandings and insults he had no
choice but to go back to the PDP where
at least ”freedom of expression and
differing opinions were welcome” as he
so aptly put it. He said that he gave me
just a few more months and that after
that I would ‘’come back home’’ to the
PDP just as he had done before.
The second thing that he told me was
that he would become the flagbearer of
the PDP and that he would defeat my
brother Governor Kayode Fayemi in the
upcoming governorship election in Ekiti
state. He concluded by saying that this
would mark the beginning of the end of
the APC in the south-west and indeed in
the whole of Nigeria.
I did not accept any of his projections
and predictions but it is self-evident
that he has been proved right in all
three. Not only did I discover, albeit
the hard way, what the APC and it’s
self-proclaimed ‘’owners’’ were really
like and what their real agenda was,
but I also left the party and ‘’went
back home’’ to PDP just a few months
later.
He also made good his threat, won the
PDP primaries and went on to defeat
Kayode Fayemi in the governership
election of Ekiti state a few months
later. He has been proved right on the
third count as well because the signs of
‘’the beginning of the end’’ for the APC
had already started appearing long
ago.
With the way in which many notable
leaders of the party have jumped ship
in the last few weeks and months,
including Ibrahim Shekarau, Attahiru
Bafawara, Marcus Gundiri, Dele
Belgore, Buba Marwa , yours truly and
a number of others and with the quiet
grumblings from within by a handful of
notable and more respectable figures
like Tom Ikimi , Ali Modu Sheriff, Kashim
Ibrahim-Imam, Segun Osoba, Niyi
Adebayo and a number of others who
have rightly expressed strong
reservations about the way that they
have been treated by the ‘’powers that
be’’ from within, it is clear that the
APC is not only finished but that after
the special convention for it’s
Presidential primaries takes place in
November it will explode in a very
dramatic manner. Fayose appears to
have had the gift of foresight in all
these matters.
Once again I offer a hearty
congratulations to him and to the
entire leadership of the Ekiti state PDP
on their historic victory in the
governorship election that took place in
their state on 21st June 2014. The
people of Ekiti have spoken and their
choice MUST be respected by all.
My heart goes out to my brother Kayode
Fayemi who fought gallantly but lost
the election and who remains not only a
man of honour and unimpeachable
integrity but also one of the finest
minds in the country. He is certainly
one of the most cerebal, disciplined,
compassionate, accomodating and
civilsed leaders that the APC has within
it’s ranks and one of those that gave
it a semblence of integrity and
credibility.
His state broadcast where he conceded
defeat to Fayose proves my point and it
speaks volumes. He is a first class
gentleman and a good sport. Unlike
most of those in his party he knows
when to call it quits and he respects the
choice of the people. That is worth
commending and it is worthy of
emulation.
By that single act alone Fayemi has
guaranteed a place for himself in the
future of yoruba and Nigerian politics
and if he can only change parties and
leave the Almajiris he will still go very
far indeed. For him the future is still
very bright and the sky is the limit. I
salute his courage and commend his past
efforts for Nigeria and for his state.
Yet the truth must be told. And that
truth is that whether they want to
accept it or not the people of Ekiti
state sent a very strong signal to the
national leadership and stakeholders of
the Almajiri People’s Congress during
the election.
The rejection of Fayemi at the polls had
as much to do with the disgust and
opprobium that most people in the south
west and indeed the country harbour
and hold for the tiny cabal of dictators
and demi-gods that constitute the APC
leadership as much as it does for
anything else. Their message is simple
and clear and it is as follows:
1) They should stop playing religious
politics, stop being petty and stop
trying to implement a muslim agenda in
our country.
2) They should stop behaving like a
primitive cult where only the opinion of
one or two leaders matter and where
dissent and differing opinions have no
place,
3)They should stop trying to demean
others and stop treating them with
contempt,
4)They should stop arrogating all
knowledge and all power to just a
handful of people at the top that have
clearly lost touch with reality,
5)They should stop taking others for
granted and stop calling our yoruba
oba’s ”useless”.
6)They should stop telling people the
most disgusting, hateful, shameful and
monuemental lies about others.
7)They should rid themselves of their
slave mentality and stop playing second
fiddle to those that believe that they
own Nigeria.
They should stop trying to enslave
their people by returning the
hegemonists to power through the back
door in Nigeria.
The simple truth is that God has turned
His back on the Almajiri’s People’s
Congress. This is because of the
atrocities that are being committed by
a few of their leaders right at the top,
because of their evil, covert and
subterreanean agenda, because they
wish to turn the yoruba, and indeed the
entire southern part of the country,
into perpetual slaves and because of
their patently and unapologetic anti-
christian agenda.
Given the history of our country and
the suffering of the people of the south
west over the last 53 years since we
gained independence from the British,
no true yoruba nationalist should have
anything to do with them.
I say this because to say that you are
a yoruba nationalist and at the same
time you are working day and night to
hand over power to a die-hard, ultra-
conservative, hegemonistic, brutal
dictator and despot like Mohammadu
Buhari, who believes that Nigeria was
bequethed to him and to his people by
God and his forefathers, is a
contradiction in terms.
Anything and anyone is better than
that and no self-respecting yoruba
man, southerner or indeed middle-
belter would ever do such a thing. Let
those that have slavish souls continue
to attempt to turn us all into the
slaves of our collective oppressors and
throw us into perpetual bondage: the
rest of us will stand against them,
expose them, resist them, defeat them
and flush them down the toilet where
they belong.
God has rejected the Almajiri People’s
Congress and the sooner they accept
that hard fact and bitter truth the
better it will be for them and for
Nigeria . Yesterday it was Ekiti.
Tomorrow it will be Osun.
We will not rest until every inch of
yorubaland and, indeed Nigeria, is freed
from the grip of the Almajiri People’s
Congress and their insidious and
desperate Haramite allies from the
north. The days of fooling the people
and winning elections by propaganda,
intimidation, lies, threats and coercion
are long over.
The people of Ekiti have spoken and
soon the rest of Nigeria shall speak as
well. For the Almajiri People’s Congress
and their Haramite allies, it is all over.
A new era for Ekiti begins today whilst
another one ends. Yet everyone appears
to be smiling and that is precisely how
it ought to be. There also appears to be
a distinct atmosphere of hope in the air
and a new-found, refreshing and
distinct sense of unity of purpose
coupled with a firm resolve to allow
peace to reign and to let bygones be
bygones.
This is a classic example of what the
late Waziri Ibrahim of the defunct GNPP
labelled as ‘’politics without
bitterness’’ and it is very refreshing.
I was particularly touched by Ayo
Fayose’s declaration that there was
‘’no victor and no vanquished’’ after
the election and by his promise to work
with Kayode Fayemi and the Labour
Party gubernatorial candidate Opeyemi
Bamidele to ‘’move the state forward’’.
I salute his magnaminity in victory.
I also salute the sheer courage of
Fayemi and Bamidele to accept defeat
in good faith and I commend them both
for stretching out their hand of
friendship to the winner of the
election.
All three of these gentlemen are well
known to me and they are my friends
and brothers. They are also proud sons
of the Yoruba who have proved to the
world that politics in the south-west
can be played without any violence,
rancor and bitterness. I wish them all
the very best in their future
endeavours
