 Politics › The Next Osun State Governor In 2026 Should Come From Osogbo by Idealplusgist(op): 11:58am On Dec 24, 2024 |
The quest for the next governor of Osun State has sparked intense debate, with various interests and agendas emerging. One compelling argument is that the next governor should come from Osogbo, the state capital. This assertion therefore is a clarion call on all indigenes and associated indigenes of Osogbo to braze up, intensify their efforts in presenting credible candidates and ensure that its candidate wins the 2026 governorship election in Osun state. Therefore all the community structures, political and non- political must join together to make this happen. I am not a fan of mediocrity and ethnic politics. So I do not push argument that Osogbo has not being the governor since the creation of Osun state. Of course, this may be a plausible argument but unreasonable and illogical in the sense that choice of governorship is least determined by township affiliation, but by historical and political relevance as well as the capacity to run,win and administer the state very well. Thus, my request for Osogbo indigene to govern Osun state in 2026, is rooted in several key reasons. Firstly, the historical significance of Osogbo in Osunn socio-politics requires that an indigene of the town should be the state Governor in 2026. The identity of Osun state is constructed from Osogbo spirituality, as the name Osun is a popular Yoruba deity domiciles in Osogbo. Beside the spiritual connection, Osogbo was a battlefield where the Fulani marauders that could have conquered the rest of the Yoruba kingdoms were checkmated in 1836. The colonial economic history of Osun can not be retold without currency of Osogbo in the narratives. Osogbo was a home to earliest colonial economic ventures like MDS, PZ etc in Osun colonial district. The city of Osogbo was also famous for being the first busy train station during the mid colonial era in Nigeria. This position was sustained till present in such a way that the city has attracted bigger depots of many conglomerate manufacturing companies. It is also on record that Osogbo soars up as the most populated city in Osun state with representation of all local government areas resident in the city. Indeed Osogbo is the commercial hub of Osun state with more than 65% of daily economic activities in the state occurring in Osogbo. Similarly there is a need for equitable representation and fair share of leadership opportunities. By electing a governor from Osogbo, the state can strengthen this historical, redeem the imbalances against Osogbo and promote a sense of inclusivity. Furthermore, the vastness in the growth of Osogbo requires that an indigene of the city should be the Governor of Osun state. According to the existing data, Osogbo is the fifth vast growing city in southwestern Nigeria. Therefore the city requires accelerated development and infrastructure growth, which has been undermined over the years particularly in the ongoing nepotic administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke. For instance, Governor Ademola Adeleke initiated 45 road projects across the state between 2022 and 2024, where only three were allocated to osogbo and 17 road projects measuring 68 kilometers with six lanes dual carriage of 7.5 kilometer allocated to Ede, his hometown. It is therefore assumed that a governor from Osogbo would be better positioned to understand the city's unique challenges and opportunities, driving targeted investments and initiatives. In addition, a governor from Osogbo would have a deeper understanding of the local dynamics, fostering a stronger connection with the grassroots population. This connection would promote accountability, as the governor would be more attuned to the needs and concerns of the people. Albeit all the reasons offered in favour of Osogbo in producing the next governor of Osun state, Osogbo people should look inward and support the choice of an indigene of Osogbo in All Progressives Congress party. That is the only party in the state that has fair chance of winning the 2026 governorship election. Since governor Ademola Adeleke is going for second term in office, Osogbo sons and daughters should braze up and drum for APC to choose its credible candidate. I mean a knowledgeable, admiring, politically sound, and administrative competent indigene of Osogbo. In conclusion, electing a governor from Osogbo would be a strategic move for Osun State. It would address historical representation imbalances, drive targeted development and infrastructure growth, and foster a stronger connection with the grassroots population. As the state prepares for the next governorship election, it is crucial to consider the unique value proposition that an Osogbo candidate would bring to the table.

| Politics › "Character Assassination Uncovered: Engr. Raji Kehinde Exposes Senator Ajagunla by Idealplusgist(op): 5:58pm On Sep 20, 2024 |
...Vows To Sue Ajagunla's Chief Of Staff, Tunde Badmus,Faceless Osun Political prohet at large And Others For Defamation Of Character, and Mobilise 5,000 Constituents Of Osun Central Senatorial District To Demand For Distribution Of Bags Of Rice Palliatives From Federal Government Hoarded In Ojaja Estate By The Senator.... • For The Record: • #30Million Blackmail Sometimes in 2022, Hon Akin Titiloye and Hon Tunde Badmus phoned him to book an appointment to bring Ajagunla Olubiyi Fadeyi to his GRA residence at Okefia, Osogbo, in order to support his senatorial ambition which he obliged. Truly, the team arrived his residence at around 8pm on the agreed day and requested to meet some women and men by 8am the following morning. Unfortunately, after mobilising 200 men and women for him to form a political structure for his senatorial ambition, Ajagunla and his aides, including Tunde Badmus failed to fulfill their promise to empower those mobilised with #10,000 (Ten thousand naira) each to support their Nano businesses till date. To preserve his integrity, AARAJI had to give those in attendance #2000 each from his personal pocket and gave a flimsy reason to cover up the deceit of Ajagunla and became very careful of him. Prior to the deceitful empowerment program, Ajagunla promised to buy three plots of land from AARAJI from his real estate business at #10million naira each, Kejebu as he his fondly called reminded him as a marketer but he started avoiding him so AARAJI just closed his chapter without hard feelings. Subsequently, Alhaji Muniru Raji, MHR Adewale Gangaria, Alhaji Sikiru Were,Tunde Badmus and others called for a peace meeting at Alhaji Muniru's house. Unknown to Alhaji Muniru, Tunde Badmus lied to him on behalf of Ajagunla that it was because IKEJEBU demanded for #30million from them, that was why AARAJI ditched their senatorial aspirant before the election. But when KEJEBU narrated what transpired, Alhaji Muniru and MHR Adewale Gangaria were furious to know that Ajagunla and his team goofed and they insisted that the Senator apologise to AARAJI else they' will withdraw their support from his senatorial ambition. At last, he called AARAJI on phone to apologize and KEJEBU accepted his apology. • AJAGUNLA SENATORIAL INSENSITIVITY Moving forward, as a stakeholder in Osun central senatorial district that has been empowering thousands of people across 30 local government and 1 area council in Osun state, AARAJI deemed it a point of duty to hold our Senator and other public office holders accountable to the people they sworn to serve, but Senator Ajagunla Olubiyi Fadeyi and his online media attack dogs who aren't comfortable with KEJEBU'S stand has resulted to blackmail, character assassination and cyber bullying which AARAJI has vowed to always set the record straight and expose their lies and deceits. For public knowledge, after Senator Ajagunla Olubiyi Fadeyi launched #2Billion intervention fund to bamboozle constituents of Osun central senatorial district, he proceeded to commission his newly built Event centre in Ibadan(Harvard event centre at Mokola). Meanwhile, empowerment equipments such as spraying machines, cassava grinding machines, bags of fertilizer, and 50 motorcycles are all from federal government and not bought by the Senator. The icing on Senator Ajagunla Olubiyi Fadeyi insensitivity to the plights of constituents of Osun central senatorial district is the fact that he had to charter an aircraft to convey the Wife of the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio and other dignitaries that graced the commissioning of the event centre as revealed by Mrs Akpabio during the commissioning programme, while the constituents that he represented are grudging in hardship and hunger..aides owed unpaid salaries for months. Good People Of Osun Central Senatorial District Shall Ask Senator Ajagunla Olubiyi Fadeyi Why He Hoarded Bags Of Rice Palliatives From Federal Government For Onward Distribution To His Constituents! • Engr Raji Kehinde

What dis woman is saying is untrue, how can someone get to an office without knowing how to handle what she met unground, instead of her to ask on how they are doing it, she see herself too big to be guided on what she nothing about and instead of that she started shifting blame on someone else, this is a sign of incompetent for this woman, she should go and learn more instead flimsy excuses. The Npower has helped a lot of Youths in this country, some had built houses in this Npower Programme, Some started their business from this programme, it helped a lot to secured their home, let give Kudos to the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo for spearheaded this Programme.
