X-raying The AYIWOLA Candidates

It is two weeks to the 2015 general elections and Nigerians will decide their fate.They will decide who will be their leaders and representatives for the next four years. There will be no governorship election in Osun come February.
Attentions and preparation are fully in top gear for the senatorial, house of representatives and state
house of assembly elections. While the candidate of APC for the Osun west senatorial district, Sen Isiaka Adetunji Adeleke is looking more likely to top the candidate of PDP, Sen Akinlabi Okasunkanmi.
Adeleke is enjoying the masses appeal and his campaign has been robust throughout the ten local government that made up the Osun west senatorial district. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Adeleke will carry the day come March 28.
Three candidates will slug it out for the AYIWOLA federal constituency and it is going to be a fierce battle.
The Labour Party, All Progressive Congress and Peoples Democratic Party are all presenting candidates for the Iwo federal constituency
election. The beauty of this election is that all the three candidates are coming from Iwo local government.
Who are the candidates?
Alhaji Sulaimon Akanji Bello, LP
Sulaimon Bello popularly called SeeBee is the candidate of Labour Party. He is an household name in Iwo politics having served in various political capacity in the past. He served as the chairman, projects monitoring during the first regime of Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola. He later became the chairman of Iwo Local government between 2008 and 2010.
SeeBee is an accomplished politician, a former class room teacher and an hotelier. As a loyalist of Engr Fatai Akinbade, he left the PDP for Labour Party with the former SSG of the state and has remained in the party since then.
Akanji Bello performed meritoriously during his tenure as the chairman of Iwo local government.
He constructed more roads than any past chairmen in the history of the local government. Report has
it that he is arguably the best chairman Iwo has ever produced in recent time.
His few shortcomings; He was accused of financing his personal project with the local government fund when he was in office, an allegation he has debunked times without number.
In a recent conversation with him, Alhaji Bello confirmed that he secured bank loan to finance most of his businesses people are seeing and said documents to back it up are all available for interested individuals.
Many as well question the ability of his party to spring any surprise, being a relatively know party in the state. But when talking about
competence and capability, he has it and it may work well for him in the forthcoming elections.
Hon Gafar Akintayo Amere, APC
Akintayo AbdulGafar Amere is gunning for the second term in the lower chamber. He is in the ruling party in the state and this has given him an edge over other candidates.
The former ‘banker’ cum politician has acquired more enemies than friends even within his party, APC.
The majority of AYIWOLA masses believed he has performed below expectations in the lower chamber.
He has a divided followers within the party and his controversial victory in the primary election is another concern. It was rumoured that Amere was imposed by the party leaders in state, a moved that did not go down well with many party members.
He has a few projects to reel out to the ears of the AYIWOLA electorates. He constructed a magnificent class room building at L A commercial grammar school, Iwo, An ICT centre, Tractor for farmers and a handful of other projects.
His performance in terms of his primary assignment in the house has been questioned. Though his new found accord with the Gbenga Salawu, the man he defeated during the shadow election has boost his chances coupled with the intervention of Ogbeni Aregbesola.
Few members of the APC has been accused of working for opposition candidates but if the party could put their house in order, he has a
good chance.
Another pothole in Amere is the fact that the two local government in the constituency, Ola-Oluwa and Ayedire have accused the honourable of neglecting them and rather center all his projects in Iwo.
Hon Babatunde Ajani Ologburo, PDP
Ologburo is the candidate of PDP. He is an experienced politician and a grassroots mobilizer.
He was the former Secretary of Iwo local government between 1999-2002. He once contested for the Osun state house of assembly and lost to Hon. Rasaq Salinsile. He is a farmer, a philanthropist and a grassroots politician to the core.
Report has it that Hon Ologburo has never lost any election in his ward. He is loved by his people in Oke Oba. He has remained a loyal
member of PDP and the main reason he was rewarded and picked as the candidate of the party.
Though it was not a easy task for him winning the ticket. He has to battle it out with Mudasir Lukman
before clinching the ticket.
Ologburu has a lot of advantage. People see him as their own man. He has lived all his life in Iwo. He wine and dine with the common man. He understand Iwo politics better. He has a quite number of experiences at his disposal. If people are to leave party line and vote individual, he may have the day.
PDP as a party remains a big treat to his candidacy due to the lingering crisis rocking the party in the state.
In any cases Babatunde Ologburo stand tall among equal and a lot of factor may work for him. It seems people are tired with the situation of things in AYIWOLA constituency and they may vote for change.
As the D-day draws nearer, AYIWOLA masses need to vote for their conscience. Decision of today determines our position of tomorrow.

NIGERIA WILL NEVER FALL APART!!!

Professor Chinua Achebe is no doubt one of the most acclaimed writer and an internationally recognised author. His new book, There Was A Country has generated a lot of reactions from all quarters, political academic and otherwise. The book has generated a lot of noise that the integrity of the renown Professor has been questioned notably from the Yoruba indgenes.
This is not the first time that Achebe will be publishing a denigration memoir on Awolowo and many has assumed maybe Achebe has a personal fued with papa Awo. What better way can he use to show his hatred for one Nigeria? As far as am concern Achebe is still a Biafra propagandist even when many are clamouring for one Nigeria. Awolowo is a national hero and accussing him of being a tribalist is far from the truth. Posterity has already judged him.
Achebe is a giant in the literary world but there is a thick line between literary and politics. He is surely a voice to reckon with in literature but politically a failure. Why holding Awolowo responsible for that? He accused Awolowo of being driven by power. Achebe should please tell all Nigeria what equally driven him in joining the Biafra quarter without considering the lives of common man that will be lost in war if not power. I believe he just write another fiction and never a fact. That Achebe failed politically is not a news but holding Awolowo responsible for it is a senile, thoughtless and baseless accusation. The bitter truth is that there is no way people can appreciate qualities they don't have in other people. Piling false accusation on Awolowo will never help but create another problem entirely. And even if the allegations are truth, please anything wrong. This is war for crying out loud, and in a war the means justify the end. You started the war and the war consumed you.The Igbo race have not totally recovered emotionally from the war and i sincerely pity them, but who is to blame? Is high time we move on and learn from the past rather than dwelling in the past.
I believe Achebe is sad his Biafra dream may not come to pass, at least in his life time if it will never! It's sad he hasn't gotten over the defeat, i thought old age conquers. He still prefer a Biafra ambassador to an ambassador of one Nigeria.
One thing Achebe must understand is things may be falling apart but Nigeria Will Never Fall Apart!!!

Iwolookan, A collective project!!!

Iwolookan, A collective project!!!

The unfolding events in the political landscape of Osun state in recent time has made it very important to take the issue of Iwoland producing the next governor more serious. This # Iwolookan slogan is becoming more irritating to the ears of many with the lackadaisical attitudes of all concerns and stakeholders
We are well strategically positioned to make it to the number one seat in the state this time around than any other time in the history of the state and it will be disastrous if we squander this golden opportunity.
I don't want to start making any political calculation or permutation whatsoever. It's obvious we have the highest stake come 2015. Even our political enemies from the other ends know that better. And the best they could do is to plant the seed of discord among our political gladiators in other to achieve their own ambition.
2018 is just like tomorrow to any serious politician. Providence has placed before us a golden opportunity, an opportunity we must not lose. A chance will must grab with our two hands. It may take decades to be placed in this kind of strategic position we are right now!
I don't care where the governor comes from in Iwoland. Is it Ikoyi in Ayedire, Agberire in Iwo or Ikire in Ola-Oluwa. I know we have competent, credible and capable hands across our beautiful land. Iwoland must produce the next governor of Osun state and that is what is important to me.
Other top notch politicians from Osun west have started their home work and the report we are receiving from their side is highly intimidating. I may have a little understanding of politics, but I know slow and steady win the race.
This is the right time for our political leaders to close their ranks and come together on a front. History will never forgive them if they jeopardize this golden opportunity at our disposal. The interest of Iwoland must be Paramount than their own personal ego.
Iwolokan is a collective battle and we must fight it collectively. This message is a kind of appeal message to all political parties and political leaders in Iwoland. A divided house can never stand. We must come together in unison, close our ranks and forget our differences. We need to be at the helms of affair in order to fast track the Iwoland of our dream. It's mission that is very much possible.
Our destiny now lies in our hands. May God help us.
