Same thing some thought of Obaseki, very rare before an incumbent loses re election, Osun isn’t Oyo State, Oyetola is Bola Tinubu’s candidate, case closed.

tinubu doesn’t have the political structures in Osun State Apc. Oyetola is a goner. Save my post.

adamsmith914:
Those 2 state elections you mentioned, I believe the incumbent won? , Oyetola will win the Osun State election with an overwhelming victory.

Government Magic.

kikiki. As if you are a voter in Osun State. Oyetola alias Igbin iragbiji is a goner.

Osun 2022 and threat of the tempestuous trio

By Adebayo Adedeji

For the purpose of the Osun gubernatorial election slated for July 2022, the trio of Yusuff Lasun, Najeem Salaam and Moshood Adeoti have visibly reached a common ground to dislodge the incumbent governor, Gboyega Oyetola. Oyetola, elected in 2018 on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, will be seeking a re-election on the same platform in 2022. Ceteris paribus, he is due to fly the flag of APC, considering the support he enjoys within the party. The recognised structure of the party in the state is firmly in the hands of the governor. Lasun, Salaam and Adeoti have lost the grip of the party, hence their decision to form a parallel group in the party to realise their political ambition. Under aegis of The Osun Progressives, TOP, the trio continue to stir hornet's nest, share seditious materials aimed at distabilising the government of Oyetola.

Whereas Lasun has obtained the governorship nomination forms of APC, Salaam and Adeoti equally have been touted to be interested in the governorship race. However, it will remain a tall order for anyone to clinch the APC ticket from Oyetola. He calls the shots. So, just five options are available to the three warring aspirants: 1. Reconcile with the governor and work for his re-election. 2. Stay in the party but stand akimbo in the election. 3. Stay in the party, continue to engage in anti-party activities to give another party a leverage. 4. Join PDP and queue behind their candidate.. 5. Join one of the mushroom parties to contest the governorship election.

Lasun was the deputy speaker of the House of Representatives in the 8th Assembly led by Yakubu Dogara. The deputy speakership he enjoyed for four years, his critics claim, is the source of the enormous wealth he now flaunts around and uses to build his political structure. Lasun, multiple sources explain, was a struggling real estate agent, who had to beg, cajole, cry, wail to get his ridiculously negligible broker's fee, before he won the 2011 seat in his Osogbo federal constituency. The source of his wealth and meteroic rise in business, therefore, is cast in doubt.

In June 2018, two civil society organisations urged Nigeria’s anti-corruption agencies to probe him over his alleged involvement in a N1.1 billion water contract scam. In separate press statements, the Civil Society Network Against Corruption (CSNAC) and Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) alleged that Lasun used his personal company, Nur & Company Nigeria Limited, to secure contracts worth about N1.1 Billion from the federal government through the Ministry of Water Resources. This weighty allegation has not been sufficiently put to rest. This, according to many of the commentators, suggests Lasun has some skeletons in his compound; thus he should be subjected to integrity test.

Again, his democratic credentials are daily impugned on the account of his double dealing and anti-party activities. The story has it that he colluded with the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in 2003 to oust the sitting governor and candidate of his party, Alliance for Democracy AD, Chief Bisi Akande. He was later rewarded with the chairmanship of the Osun State Capital Territory Development Authority OSCTDA in 2004. He later abandoned PDP to rejoin the progressive party for the purpose of 2007 House of Representatives election which he lost to Leo Awoyemi of PDP.

His political acceptance also is suspect because over the years, Lasun has struggled to win elections for APC in his domain. In the 2018 gubernatorial election, even when he wielded powers as the Number-six in the country, Lasun could not deliver his Irepodun Local Government to his party. While APC polled 6517 votes, PDP polled 8058. A similar thing happened in the 2019 general election: whereas the senatorial candidate of APC polled 10,474 in Irepodun, PDP candidate polled 12,272. Of the 10 local governments in the senatorial district, APC won in all except in Lasun's Irepodun. These recent results speak more about his political status and viability.

Those close to him maintains he is an overrated politician whose rank is depleted, thus his decision to swallow his vomit and reconcile with Aregbesola and his yes-men with whom he engaged in pig fight some years ago. His ambition is said to be driven only by his belief in the prophecies of marabouts and mysticists he often curries their services.

Najeem Salaam is the immediate former speaker of the state assembly. A close ally of Rauf Aregbesola, the assumed leader of TOP, Salaam seems to be the only known politician in Ejigbo, his hometown, currently against the governor's re-election. Everyone appears to be on the same page with Oyetola.

The paramount ruler of Ejigboland, Oba Omowonuola Oyesosin some months ago identified with Oyetola and lauded him " for his humility, kindness and listening quality." Ogiyan said Oyetola's administration " is so productive that we can't think twice to reciprocate his unique gesture with massive support towards his re-election in office next year."

The grand Imam of Ejigbo Central Mosque and Chief Imam of Ansarudeen Central hold a similar opinion with Ogiyan Oyesosin. The grand Imam, Sheikh Omotokese and Sheikh Salahudeen, of Ansarudeen, appreciate Oyetola for his dynamic leadership and intervention in rehabilitating Ejigbo General Hospital, Primary Health Centres, township road and other related government projects, which their son Najeem Salaam, as Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly for eight ( years, could not draw to them. They promise to reward Oyetola's commitment to the general well-being of the people with unalloyed support for his re-election.

Adeoti is the third person in the tripartite alliance aimed at removing Oyetola in 2022. From Iwo town, Adeoti was the Secretary to the State Government of Osun in the administration of Aregbesola. He polled 49,742 votes when he contested on the platform of ADP in 2018. Of the votes, 16, 425 came from his hometown of Iwo. However, since his return to APC in June 2020, his lieutenants and strategists have emptied themselves into IleriOluwa, a campaign group for Governor Oyetola. One of the strategists is Sunday Akere, former Commissioner for Information in the government of Rauf Aregbesola. Akere is now the Political Adviser of Governor Oyetola and he is building the rank of the governor's campaign with foot soldiers deplored by Adeoti in the 2018 election.

While the three politicians romanticise their popularity and political profundity of yesterday, the reality on ground does not suggest these cockalorums still enjoy a popularity capable of unseating a perspective politician like Oyetola.

In Iwo, for instance, Oyetola's re-election bid got a boost some days ago when the monarchs in Iwo, Ayedire and Ola-Oluwa Local Government Areas declared their unalloyed support for the Oyetola administration. The seventeen (17) traditional leaders, under " Ayiwola Network of Kings," endorsed Oyetola for second term in appreciation of the leadership he has projected in human management, respect for traditional institution and good governance despite the financial challenges experienced by the state.

Every where you turn in Osun, it is endorsement galore for Oyetola. From road transport workers to barbers, hairdressers, fashion designers, tailors, furniture makers, master bakers and farmers associations, the support swell each day. The traditional religion worshippers and christian associations are not left out of the number. The Congress of Traditional Religion Worshippers Association of Osun State, TRWASO, comprising over 300 representatives from all the local branches in Osun, believe Oyetola deserves an "Unequivocal Support" for second term. The Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Ijesha North has also drummed support for Oyetola's re-election. Bishop Isaac Oluyamo commends the governor for prompt payment of salaries of civil servants and for his effort in education and in construction of good roads.

The same governor that is enjoying the pan-Osun solidarity is the one some petulant and spent politicians want to bully to submission and dislodge with empty boast. Does loud-mouthness win elections? It is doubtful if it does. Because if it does, Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun and Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo would have lost their re-election bids in 2015.

In 2015, former Governor Olusegun Osoba left ACN alongside Amosun's deputy, Segun Adesegun and three senators on the platform of the party. Seven (7) of the nine (9) members of the House of Representatives from the state and a large chunk of the members of the House of Assembly equally joined them. But against all chest-thumpings of Osoba and his lieutenants, Amosun won his re-election in grandstyle with 306, 998 votes as against 201,440 votes of PDP. Strangely, the hyperbolic SDP where Osoba and other quislings collapsed into polled paltry 25, 826 votes!

In a like manner in Oyo, two APC senators Ayoade Adeseun and Femi Lanlehin dumped the party for PDP and Accord respectively, but the people of the state, who believed Ajimobi had worked for their interest stood by him and made his second term ambition a reality. Ajimobi polled 327, 310 votes to defeat the former governor of the state, Rasheed Ladoja of Accord who polled 254,520. The winning set the jinx-breaking record for Ajimobi as the first governor in Oyo to win a second term.

These two elections are testaments to political reality that voters make big names in politics, not other way round. Big names are not made in vacuum.

Meanwhile, in Osun, those who truly own the magic to winning elections in APC are identyfing with Oyetola: relevant party leaders; two senators produced by the party; nearly all the members of the House of Representatives, including the legislator representing Ijesha South in the House of Representatives, Lawrence Ayeni. Ijesha South is the constituency of Rauf Aregbesola, patron of the factional group rooting for removal of the governor in next year's election. The most important blocs that determine elections are also with the governor. These are the ordinary people on the streets of Ilesha, Osogbo, Ile-Ogbo, Ijabe, Inisha, Ile-Ife, Ikire, Ikoyi, Ilawe, Ere, Garage Olode, Ikirun, Ede, who are currently enjoying the dividend of good governance of this government. These are 270,000 citizens who have benefitted thus far from the Osun State Food Support Scheme which started in April 2021. These are 3,000 vulnerable citizens who enjoy N20,000 bimonthly from CARES programme. These are 18,000 youths who have been empowered through various schemes, including loan disbursement to start a new venture and boost existing ones. These are civil servants and pensioners who have savoured the goodness of the current government through prompt payment of salary and pension, running to N160 billion in the last three years. These are 69,273 vulnerable beneficiaries of the free Osun Health Insurance. These are people who are happy they now have a governor with human face, a political leader who is pliable and amenable to their plights.

The 2022 guber is election of the people - the ordinary people, so to say. The ordinary citizens are the ones that will return Oyetola for second term, not some avarus politicians who bluster around for want of recognition and political patronage.

see this clueless poster here, so it’s 1kg of wheat Oyetola is distributing that will make the voters votes for Igbin iragbiji abi. You are only deceiving yourself and your paymaster here. Oyetola alias Igbin iragbiji is a goner. No form of lies and propaganda will make the voters cast their votes for him. Besides he won’t be votes in as the Apc flag bearer in Osun State.

It will be nice to know how long it took you to get a job or freelance clients after learning programming.

which type of programming??

The demand for web development especially front end aspect are of great demand in Nigeria and Africa as a whole unlike data scientists in Nigeria aren’t highly demanding. It’s very low in Nigeria. It’s better to have basic practical knowledge in Web development before venturing into python before you become backend developers. I’m on GUI already but by January, I will be switching to web design and web development too. For you to applied for LinkedIn jobs in Areas of python developers(which are practically data science aspects), you have to have basic practical knowledge of web development.

Do you mean naija guys? If so, I think there is no readily available market for data scientist in Nigeria yet, unlike software developers. One of the Reasons why those guys switched.

Despite the fact that I can't support or vote PDP candidate, I would rather Vote this man than vote ADEMOLA ADELEKE.

If peradventure one should step down for another, ADEMOLA should step down for DELE.

ADEMOLA contesting office of the governor of Osun State IS A GREAT INSULT.

We have seen this man's(dele) CV and he's Worthy of the office.
How can a dancer like ADEMOLA wants to Govern Osun.
What sort of insult is that.

Ademola Adeleke Re-Strategises After Re-Alignment In Osun Politics (1)

https://sahelstandard.com/index.php/2021/12/10/ademola-adeleke-re-strategises-after-re-alignment-in-osun-politics-1/

By Farouk Usman, Osogbo

The governorship candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2018 Osun governorship selection and the leading contender for the 2022 guber race, Senator Ademola Adeleke has returned to the drawing board not only to win at the primary but to defeat Governor Gboyega Oyetola at the 2022 election.

Reports from senator’s political camp indicated that senior leaders and caucus members are auditing the group to assess the effect of recent political development. The preliminary outcome according to insiders is that the Senator remains strong and entrenched across the state and the grassroots.

” I learnt a review has been done and the outcome is that recent changes have negligible impacts on the Senator’s structures. In fact, It has increased symphaty for the Senator. You know Nigerians are aware he was robbed then, hence recent development appears to have strengthened the resolve of many grassroots political blocs in the state to support his fresh attempt at the governorship”, a party chief who craves anonymity stated.

According to him, ” the Senator has actually survived the internal revolt of a family member. What the group is doing now is to reassign roles and strengthen the mobilisation strength of the group. I gather that the group has also broken new grounds, securing the loyality of many opinion leaders outside partisan political space.

” Ademola has one thing missing in the credentials of other contenders-that is street credibility. The Senator enjoys unparralled grassroots support which is increasing in view of recent gang up. So the new strategy I see is more like playing the role of a dumping ground.

” As all contenders appear to see the Senator as the target, his group appears to have resolved not to fight dirty but rather to stay focussed on the message- the Senator’s capacity to deliver pro-people policies amd programmes. So you may see more of concrete political messaging than political attacks. I think the Senator is looking towards post-primary scenario when all groups will have to come together to face the ruling All Progressive Congress, the party observer stated.

” The more the attacks on the Senator, the more the public support for tim. That is the trend observable across the state. The mas has a likable personality. And this is key to winning election especially when you are facing the incumbent”, the analyst observed.

A strong member of the group from Ijesha land who was not willing to be quoted because he was not authorised to speak told our correspondent that ” the race is directly between Oyetola and Ademola”, adding that ” even the APC recognises the Senator as the main opponent with deep grassroots presence which other aspirants do not have.

” For PDP to win, we need an aspirant that is loved by the street, that is the common people. We need a candidate with easy name recognition and electric personality. Oyetola has no such personality. But I think the Senator’s team has re-engineered its strategies. You will see a new Ademola Adeleke with message of hope for people of Osun state.”, he noted.

Everything you said na audio

Go to official Facebook page & see people lamentation with picture evidence to back up their claims

Generated 64bn between January & August alone? Hahaha, oga dey lie small now cos even the government claimed they generated 4bn every month so how's 4 X 8 equals to 64?

Mind you, this administration is not generating any fuccking 4bn per month, they are saying that to save face for huge loan theyve taken with no project that match such huge loan

YEAP is nothing but scam, go & meet those who participated to confirm that

What I dislike about this administration is too much lies

go and read both online and daily newspapers here about the developments of GSM. It seems you are clueless Apc nitwit that have vowed not to say good things gsm did in order to sell out your fraud and clueless Apc candidate to the good people of oyo state. Oyo state people will judge GSM of his stewardship in government in his first 4 years in government before they renew another 4 years for him to continue in governance. Keep on hating GSM cos’ you have absolutely nothing to offer.

What Lasun Yusuff said is very true oooo. Oyetola government has destroyed the economy of Osun State

THERE IS NO ECONOMY IN OSUN STATE UNDER OYETOLA - FORMER DEPUTY SPEAKER LASUN YUSUF SAYS ON RADIO!!!
It is rejoicing to see that the real politicians are putting aside their disagreement hitherto caused by alien godfathers and now coming to terms on Osun State politics.
Lasun Yusuf has exonerated Rauf Aregbesola of wrongdoings politically and admitted that everything happened because of the influence of Tinubu. Aregbesola must be happy wherever he may be today at the report of the interview by Lasun Yusuf.
There seems to be an amalgamation of local developments as Lasun Yusuf resisted talking about Senator Ademola Nurudeen Adeleke and Najim Salam. Only the deep can be able to call to the deep.
Again, Lasun Yusuf in succession established that Oyetola and APC rigged both at the primaries and general election in 2018 and hinged his factual verdict on the validation made by President Buhari that Osun State was arranged for Oyetola with the aid of remote control according to the President. Remote control is another lexicon for rigging in Osun State politics and it was in the presence of Kabiesi Ooni of Ife that Mr President made that disclosure sometimes in 2019 at the government house in Oshogbo.
Lasun Yusuf frankly said the Ileri Oluwa group loyal to Oyetola is largely populated by political amateurs save for only Ajibola Famurewa who has enduringly been around for some quality time. Such assessment is not easily dismissible. Lasun pointed out that TOP is a part of him being APC and that they paraded seasoned politician.
Lasun Yusuf also said he told to Chief Bisi Akande's face whom he has profound respect for that he shall be contesting and that nobody born of a woman can stop him from prosecuting his ambition. It happened at the very meeting of Agba Osun that Oyetola has been oiling. Lasun is confident, Yusuf is bold. Omo bii Lasun lasan!
Lasun Yusuf also made the listeners understand that the people can not see anything that Oyetola has done and he affirmed that he told Oyetola to his face that he as the Governor must rescue himself and return to the drawing board.
He cited the occurrence of the governorship election, and that of the rerun vis-a-vis the tedious process to validate that he knew what he was saying that the APC did not win Osun State.
He again said the party paid for it in 2018 when he was ostracized and he said the war against Rauf Aregbesola and himself will continue to offer Oyetola as a political sacrifice come 2022, asserting that it is wicked and ingratitude to wage a war against Rauf Aregbesola who paved the way for APC in Osun State in 2010 at huge risk, affirming that they knew what was done to win Osun State then.
Conclusively, Lasun said Rauf Aregbesola is his senior brother, friend and confidant.

OMO-AGEGE, LASUN CLASH OVER 2018 OSUN RIGGING CLAIMS
DECEMBER 2, 2021
Omo-Agege
Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege,You became DSP because you rigged me out-Lasun
You’re entitled to your opinion – Omo Agege
Omeiza Ajayi, Abuja
Former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yusuf Lasun on Thursday clashed with the Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege over claims by the former that the senator was compensated with the number two seat in the Upper Chamber after rigging him out of the 2018 Osun state Governorship Primary of the All Progressives Congress APC.
Lasun made the claim at the national secreteriat of the party after he picked his expression of interest and nomination forms for the 2022 Governorship Election in Osun state.
How claims were however pooh-poohed by Sen. Omo-Agege who spoke through his Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Mr Yomi Odunuga.
“The former Deputy Speaker is entitled to his opinion on what transpired. The Office of the Deputy Senate President will not join issues with him”, said Mr Odunuga late Thursday.
Rigging claims
Speaking at the secretariat, Lasun said; “In 2018 when the opportunity came to run for the governorship election presented itself, I came into the race. Though at that time there was a serious gang up against me at the party level within the state. A serious gang up, well orchestrated, well coordinated. Because of the person I am, I don’t believe in jumping ship. I have had the opportunity to move from APC to another party, but that is not me. I knew the whole thing was tilted against me, but I never bothered.
“If not for my campaigns, because I came out very early for my campaign in 2017, APC was dead in Osun. Dead to the extent that it was not possible for APC to win that governorship election unless it was given to someone like me.
“Because of the strength of my campaigns and my strength as an individual and the clarity of purpose that they know if the man becomes the governor of the state, he would be able to deliver. I have all these things in my possession.
“Let me remind Nigerians today that whether it is a direct or indirect primary, the confusion started in Osun state in 2018, with the sole aim of rigging Lasun Yusuff out of the governorship election. I’m that important in APC.
“But because of the kind of person I am, I knew this, people called me all over the country, so they wanted me not to take part in that governorship election. They told me whatever money I was spending or I must have spent was going to go to waste because the election was going to be rigged. In party politics, if you are not prepared to lose at times, then you are not a politician. That means you are only fighting for positions for selfish reasons.
“I knew the election was going to be rigged because the platform was already prepared. And let me tell you this, the former governor of Zamfara State (Abdulaziz Yari) was the chairman of that Committee. On the day of primary, Senator Yari did not go to Osun, that is left for you journalists to go and find out, why he did not go.
“But let me give you a glimpse of what actually happened. The man knew I was popular. The man was instructed to go and do a particular thing, but he told them, I have ran an investigation and I have discovered that the Deputy Speaker is popular, if you want us to come and achieve this, it might be difficult. That was one of the reasons that the man didn’t come.
“The job was undertaken by the current distinguished Senator, Deputy Senate President (Ovie Omo-Agege). He became the Chairman overnight.
“And I want to say, if he likes, he can controvert this, one of the reasons why he is Deputy Senate President today was that he was compensated for that job.
“Omo-Agege was in my home town for four hours on the day of that primary and he actually conducted three Wards primary out of six Wards of my home town and he signed three results. So, if I had wanted to go to court, what happened in Zamfara would have happened in Osun state. But I never went to school because I wanted to start writing petitions.
“But on Thursday when they met at the party secretariat, I warned them, I said if you rig me out of this election, I can assure you that you are not going to win the governorship.
