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.
