There has been yet another dispatch from the diaspora elite! It is truly touching that Mr. Adebayo Osonuga took time away from the chilly rains of Manchester to worry his long-distance heart over the political “soil” of Ogun State. Writing with the dramatic flair of a Shakespearean tragedy, our dear author warns us that Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola (alias Yayi) is a “serpentine” force plotting a “hostile takeover” to erase the “towering legacies” of former governors Otunba Gbenga Daniel (OGD) and Senator Ibikunle Amosun (SIA).
Bless his heart. It must be very comfortable to analyse Ogun politics from a coffee shop on the backstreets of Manchester, completely detached from the actual, physical reality of what these so-called “towering legacies” look like on the ground. Let’s do a quick reality check for our friend in Manchester: if Yayi is guilty of an “erasure” campaign, he isn’t erasing people—he is erasing poverty, bad roads and decades of underdevelopment left behind by the very political gods Osonuga worships. And for your information, ‘Mr Manchester’, any day, Ogun voters will not hesitate to choose Yayi’s infrastructural deliveries over ancestral tales.
