OBOKUN/ORIADE 2023: HOW SEUN ODOFIN DECEIVED US FOR HIS NOMINATION
*We never knew he is a fake lawyer – APC leaders
*As group berates Odofin’s candidature, says it is ridiculous for Obokun/Oriade to be led by a School Cert Holder
Following the revelations behind the credentials of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency in the Green Chamber, Mr Seun Odofin, the leadership of APC in the constituency have lamented that Seun Odofin deceived them to his candidature as he pretended that he was a qualified Lawyer, not knowing that he is an Ordinary School certificate holder.
Two leaders of the APC in Ijebu-Jesa, Mr Olu Ojo and Ade Adedire said “we never knew that he is a fake lawyer”, lamenting that there were other credible aspirants in academia, engineering and other well certified personnels whom we could have adopted than a mere school certificate failed holder.
Meanwhile, a non-governmental, but socio-political organisation in the constituency, Obokun Visionary Group (OVG) has berated the qualification of the APC candidate, saying how could a semi-illiterate represent our constituency?
A school certificate holder doesn’t have anything to offer us, he won’t have anything to contribute at the sittings in the National Assembly. It will be a disgrace to us. That is unaccepted, and we shall ensure that our people are enlightened on this”, said Mr . Kolawole, the Coordinator of the group
It would be recalled that sometimes in June last year, 2022, political parties held primary elections to sieve their aspirants in order to pick whoever they believed would paddle their canoe to the harbour of success, the PDP it it’s wisdom opined that the only credible candidate who can click the mantle is the incumbent Lawmaker, representing the constituency at the national assembly, Hon. Busayo Oluwole Oke (BOO), whom they believed had served the people delegently, but not tired in the service of the people.
Hundreds of the constituents from the two local governments, Obokun and Oriade thronged his Esa-Oke home to beg him to please return to the green chamber to continue his good deeds. As a result of the spirit of patriotism in him, he enthused that the best he could was to serve heed the clarion call of the people to continue his service to the people. He gladly accepted and took cling the ticket.
The PDP thus said returning Him Wole Oke, a man of many parts; Accountant, Lawyer and Entrepreneurer would be the best for them. Hon Busayo Oluwole Oke (BOO), the incumbent Lawmaker, representing the constituency, who is also the Chairman Public Accounts Committee, serving, serving out his 4th Term in the Green Chamber . The Party reasoned that should PDP win the majority of Seats in the 10th Assembly, Hon Wole Oke may emerge the Speaker of the House . PDP was very clear in this respect .
The APC on the other hand paraded best of hands ranging from Prof. Dayo Akinmoladun , Prince Thomas Ogungbangbe American based Dr Desmond Ojumu and a certified chemical Engineer, Engr Femi Akosile , who have been cris -crossing the length and breath of Obokun/ Oriade before the primary election.
Suddenly, the music changed as a complete stranger named Seun Odofin emerged, a semi-illiterate with no credible certificate, someone who has never associated himself with the Constituency before the time he came to bury his late mother in 2021 in Ijebu Jesa . He deceived the APC political leaders who were not even from Oriade Local Government, people like immediate past Commissioner for works in Osun State , Remi Omowaye and Hon Jibola Famurewa who used their closeness to the outgone Governor Alh Gboyega Oyetola along with the active support of Hon Taiwo Oluga, the lady who hates Hon Wole Oke with passion to get Seun Odofin the APC ticket . Seun also used his closeness to the Speaker of The House of Representatives, Rt Hon Femi Gbajabiamila to deceive the Party leaders to get the ticket.
Now the die is cast . Whom does Seun Odofin knows in Obokun/ Oriade ? What is Seun political pedigree ? Seun Odofin had lied to the APC Party Leaders and Members that he is a Lawyer, even with his failed secondary school certificate, boasting that he has what it takes to tackle the incumbent Hon Oluwole Oke, the political Oracle of Obokun/ Oriade, who is known for his mastery of political arrangements of Ijesa North. The Party Leaders were shocked to discover that Seun Odofin only possesses a WASC Certificate at age 52 and currently begging the Aspirants who were denied the ticket even when he came distant 5th at the primary.
The Electorate of the Constituency are poised to choose between relatively unknown Seun Odofin whose major strength is coming from one of the major towns in the constituency, Ijebu Jesa and Hon Oluwole Oke a very educated professional with huge experience and financial net works .
Who wins the election come 25Th Feb , 2023 ?
Will Ijesa North people consider a school certificate failed holder or an Accountant, Lawyer and Business Magnate, Busayo Oluwole Oke. Your Guess is as good as mine .
Congratulations to Boo
Continue to wax stronger as you ride the horse to the green chamber again
