Akeredolu says his deputy Agboola Ajayi is a neophyte, nincompoop who knows nothing about governance but want to be a governor. He said it's not possible.

Your great grand Father ran away at the heat of event, we aren't carward. We make our points clear and logically. Children of hate.

tesppidd:
Most sensible comment here.

Is there any election in Nigeria that they don't sign peace accord before elections?

Even Wike and Dakuku signed peace accord but see what they did to themselves on election day.

Nonsense hypocrisy.

Aketi should coman be hugging on camera a man who betrayed him when the man is still maligning him and hasn't even apologised to him.

If he wants peace and hugs with Aketi he should first apologize to him.
That's the only way I would call Akeredolu's action malicious and unforgiving.

Aketi is a real niggar, no time for pretenses.

am still asking who betrayed who?

Arrogant thug like his drug dealer godfather who milks the Lagosian cash cows of their IGR to the extent that he can abuse Osun people, the Ataoja, the Ooni and even Awolowo family.

Awo Family Without An Awo By Sam Omatseye (The Offensive Article)


The Awolowo rebirth in the Southwest has inspired gongs, songs and rhetoric of sorts. But they have missed one point.

It occurred to me in Abeokuta last week amidst the big crowds and euphoria of the swearing-in of Senator Ibikunle Amosun as governor. In all the states from Lagos to Edo, where Awo has witnessed ideological resurgence, hardly a single family member has played a role.

So we have an Awo family without an Awo. That is an irony. But history overwhelms us with this sort of twist. Obafemi Awolowo toiled for his reputation. His roots were lowly, he toiled to school both home and abroad, launched into careers in law, business, journalism and eventually politics. He carved a niche for himself, and became the first methodical and charismatic leftist in our history.  Other leftists abounded but they did not inspire comparable drama and following.

He faced tribulations, went to jail, failed in elections, won a few, but he imprinted his ideas and legacy in the country, and no single mortal has beaten him in the history of this country. His greatest achievement was in the area of ideas, and that was how he fashioned a family. Most families are born of biology but his issued from ideology. That family suffered with him.

In a spoof of Jesus Christ, these were the men who followed him in his teachings, and endured with him in his temptations. So he formed a kingdom for them in the Southwest, in the old Western Region, presiding over his projects, his legacies and people.

In all of these, the family he had was not his flesh and blood. In another spoof of Christ, who were his family anyway? Those who were with him must be counted as his family. So, I combed in the ambience of Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), and I found none. I went to Ogun, I frisked the crowd under Amosun’s bower, hardly any. Around Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola in Osun, I could not lay a finger. With Governor Kayode Fayemi in Ekiti, where are the forbears of Awo? Yet, I can hear the chants of Awo. Hardly in any of the inaugural speeches or any of their other public intervention would you miss the philtre and filter of Awo from these gentlemen. To parody Novelist Joseph Conrad, they are the sparks from Awo’s sacred fire, the messengers of the might within the man.

Already all of them are pursuing the legacy ideas of Awo: free education, free health services, infrastructural development, urban renewal and economic engineering.

Lagos has posted itself as the John the Baptist. The others are putting up valiant efforts, and the world of course is watching to see how well they will perform. It will call for great work, resourcefulness and cooperation. They are the real Awoists, and Awo was a man of rigour and vigour.

The Awo son that many expected to take after the father was Olusegun, who unfortunately died in a car crash. We shall never know if he could have pulled it off.  But the others have not shown much of the paterfamilias’ brio and depth. In the past decade, under this republic, they have blended with the wrong crowd. Even H.I.D, hobnobbed with Alao-Akala, who brought illiteracy to governance; with Oyinlola who turned the grace of office into a hell-hole of despots; with Daniel who could not arrest his quick fall into megalomania.

I wrote once that this woman whom Awo once described as the jewel of inestimable value has lost value to his cause. If he came back to life, he would have committed the extraordinary act of divorce after death. Even his newspaper, The Tribune, has so stumbled and fallen that it swims in Awo’s vomit.

Groucho Max, one of the funniest satirists in American history, said of a man that he got his looks from his father. Then he quipped, “He was a plastic surgeon.” That means the son is not his real son, or he did not inherit his natural looks. Ideologically, when we talk of Awo’s family, the chief inheritor is Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as the leader of all the others. He was the one who stuck his neck out. He could have lost his life or ended his career in politics. The so-called real Awolowos who bear his surname cannot come up for mention. They are Awolowos but not Awoists. They stabbed their father in the back. They have committed ideological parricide.

The only person that made a real try was Awolowo-Dosunmu in the early 1990s and she lost roundly. She was accused of trying to ride her father’s coattail. Political families are good for democracies. They can exemplify the high ideals of diligence, dignity, ideas, character. We have seen these in such families as the Kennedys, the Adamses, the Roosevelts, the Ghandis. They just don’t claim family. They appeal to the high ideals that endeared the families to their societies.

It’s also an irony that these families are falling into twilight. Some of them have vanished. Enoch Powell, a British MP, once gave us the famous line: “All political lives, unless they are cut off midstream at a happy juncture, end in failure because that is the nature of politics and human affairs.”

Columnist Ambassador Dapo Fafowora adverted to this idea in a recent outing, and I debated it with him afterwards. I don’t believe that a political life should be judged by how it ends but what it means. The quote is often missed by many who mistake “careers” for “lives.” A political life should be judged by its legacies. If we judged Awo by how he ended, we would look at him only as the loser to Shagari. That is why I see an intrinsic mischief in Enoch’s quote. But I would agree that political families end also in failure if you judge how they peter out and not the legacy.

Awo’s legacy is alive and well. Members of other families in flesh and blood can carry on. Immediate families tend to suffer from what an author, Noemie Emery, describes as dynastic curse. The children tend to be intimidated by the standards set by the fathers. So they just don’t want to try. They feel they cannot match them or come even close.  The problem probably comes from the fathers themselves. The Adams, who produced important presidents, later gave birth to moral vagrants and drunks. The Bush daughters showed themselves as party girls when their father was contesting the political battle of his life.

But Joe Kennedy groomed his sons assiduously, and they excelled in politics. They also had a fair share of tragedies. Ted Kennedy regained his sobriety and voice in America after a season of debauchery. In Nigeria, we are seeing the Sarakis fade. A Saraki – Bukola - is wiping out the Sarakis from politics. It is a classic case of oedipal tragedy, something I predicted earlier this year on this page.

It is not late though for the flesh-and-blood Awolowos to join their father’s fold. But they must be genuine. Awo was the most important Yoruba personage in history after Oduduwa. They had stellar men like Oranmiyan, Balogun Latosa, Lisabi, Sodeke, et al. None of them had the unifying vision and organisational acumen that Awolowo gave the race. The wife, children and grandchildren should not watch others glow in his jewel without them.

THE General Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly and running mate of Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) during the April 16 presidential election, Pastor Tunde Bakare, declared that it would be fool-hardy for “any bastard and the son of a concubine” to assume the leadership mantle of the Yoruba.

While preaching in his church in Lagos on the topic: “It is time to speak”, the fiery cleric said: “Look at the madness going on in Yoruba land. slowpoke, nincompoop, people without family background causing problem because of money, ill gotten wealth. If a town or settlement is at peace, the bastard there is yet to grow up.

“If you are a bastard, there is nothing you can do to cover up with money. Where is your father’s compound? A bastard pretending to be a patriot. We are proud of our heritage because we have goodly heritage. There are those who call themselves nobles who are under the influence of Jezebel. Until they drink kainkain, they cannot function. They pretend to be larger than life,” he added.

He likened the person angling to take over the leadership of the Yoruba to the Biblical Abimelech who forcefully took over a kingdom that did not belong to him and was eventually destroyed.

nairavsdollars:
That's crude and barbaric from Akeredolu, charge and bail lawyer. Little wonder people say he is too arrogant

You are a half illiterate (educated illiterate)

Do you know what it takes to be a SAN in Nigeria?

ONE THING IS VERY CERTAIN AND I KNOW IT WILL SURELY COME TO PASS. BY THIS TIME ON MONDAY MORNING, AGBOOLA WILL BE NOBODY POLITICALLY. THIS RACE IS BTW JUST E PEOPLE

That’s the way to go, I ate pretence

SnOOpERr:
Where's the spirit of sportsmanship?

Which sport are you referring to? Is politics a sport most especially in Nigeria? It is even more than business . It is a war!!!.And the winner takes all. All these talk talk of being ....magnanimous in victory ......to me is just a political gimmick.

Don't talk like that, you don't know how disappointed he's. Is Shaibu not human being?

He is not an hypocrite.
They are not in good terms and having a handshake is mere "eye service" and it is hypocritical.



If you are fighting a man, fight him and frown at him, don't smile at people when you know inside you that you detest them. It is an act of hypocrisy especially when it is someone that adorns himself in a garment of betrayal like Agbo.

Don't be an hypocrite like some of those commenters above me.

how I wish I could like your comment more then once. Politics aside, that’s how life should be.

Wetn I kuku kno.Lets kno their fans base

Him dey vex for Wetin no be him papa own. Governance is not war. There are no belligerents. Just candidates positioning themselves so majority of the electorates can make their choice. That body language is not encouraging especially in politics.

JAMO84:
He's a SAN not charge and bail.


Ondo no be Edo

if Edo no b Ondo,that means d incumbent shouldn't win,what do u think?

Who will Afonja support here? Aketi and his Igbo wife or agboola and his Igbo party

JAMO84:
He's a SAN not charge and bail.


Ondo no be Edo

Hahahahaha

It's understandable.

Maybe the deputy has Covid in disguise.
