How I Almost Neglected My Family When I Was Oyo State Governor – Ladoja by 9Ebiscoo(op): 8:10am On Jan 06, 2019

A former Governor of Oyo State, Senator Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja, on Saturday said that he retired from seeking political offices because he overworked himself while he was the governor of the state.

Ladoja, who is now the Osi Olubadan of Ibadanland was the governor of the state between 2003 and 2007 on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He said that the need to rest, attend to family demands made his to retire from seeking elective positions, because, the situation at hand now deserves the need to rest.

Ladoja, while speaking with journalists in Ighoho, headquarters of Oorelope Local Government Area, recounted his journey from Accord Party to the Zenith Labour Party.

He insisted that candidates selection procedure made him to leave the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

He reiterated that the 2015 gubernatorial election in the state was not free and fair, leading to the suit his party filed to the election tribunal.

Ladoja while speaking said, “We have done what we could do, but I have said I won’t be vying for any office again.

“I almost neglected my family when I was in government because I gave my all to ensure good governance.

Ladoja, who is now a chieftain of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), added that he can only counsel the gubernatorial candidate of the party, Barrister Sharafadeen Abiodun Alli and not that he will be dictating for him after he becomes the governor in May 2019.

He said, “I will only counsel Sarafadeen Alli when he becomes governor. I can’t run his government for him. He would be the one to receive praises or insults, so he will do well to heed to good counsels”.

The former governor lamented that he was just an edifice without influence when he was in ADC.

He said that “they started doing things they didn’t tell us before we joined the party. They didn’t tell us that some persons will be given automatic ticket.

“We questioned the integrity of those the wanted to give automatic ticket. What is the assurance that people will vote for them.

“When was saw that we couldn’t persuade them to do the right thing, we decided to leave the party because we aren’t sure of its future.”

Baba, you were not guaranteed the PDP gubernatorial ticket, the reason why you left wandering to mushroom parties.

this man should truly retire, and stop all this attention seeking and trying to force himself as a godfather. Tinubu became a Godfather by helping others grow... his comissioner became osun governor with his help, he made osinbajo a lawyer he met just once in a court session Antorney General and later Vice president, his co-worker at exxon-mobile while he was their treasurer and he was west african marketing president was made a constitueted authority and two term oyo governor. fasola and obanikoro his younger brothers friend were made chief of staff, governor and senator, even his real estate agent was made ife king.... Yet this STINGY man who helps no one wants to be OYO godfather

for the first time in OYO state the two major party are fielding young succesfull individuals with MBA and experience in both public and private sectors and not thugs

Most Politicians in Nigeria and top placed working class personnel are known for abandoning their homes while pursuing public office especially the female politicians.

Their homes look unkept and disorganized.

Their children are abandoned to their fate and loneliness.

In most, cases their children are parented by security Mai guard and househelp.
