I am not amazed at Lanre Ogunyemi’s ridiculous profanity and disrespect to constituted authority. The APC chief scribe, simply exposed the inherent fear and intolerance to opposing views and opinions. He should be reminded that we are not in a Gestapo state, where oppositions are merely seen and not heard.
Why the frenzy and fright over a factual statement credited to the Oyo State Governor, Hon Seyi Makinde, one of the most outstanding governors in Nigeria today? Why would Lanre, or his pay master, throw decorum to the winds over a statement of fact, on the impending doom that will sooner befall his underperforming Party in Lagos?
You loath constructive criticism, and abhor fair competition, you will rather; your Party continue in its unalloyed feudal aggrandizement and misrule over the people of Lagos. Your days of menacing prance are over, Lagos needs a breath of fresh air.
In your illusion, you labelled one of the most popular and credible elections, that was devoid of thuggery, ballot box snatching, or political intimidation of voters (unlike Lagos), a chanced victory.
This certainly exposes who actually is demented and in a state of hallucinating drunkenness!
I feel I should make enquiries on which faction of the APC Lagos is throwing this unwarranted banter, because I prefer to respond to the faction that was properly constituted, and not the faction that was foisted against the will of the teeming populace.
In talking politics, we must not leave our manners at home, if not, how could you a whole State Secretary, demean yourself to the level of labelling the politics of one of the most politically sophisticated states in Africa as “Amala” politics! It is a slap on all Oyo State indigenes, and I believe you need to tender an unreserved apology. You did not even stop at that, but rather labelled Lagos PDP, as an “association of sharing lot”.
Well, the whole world are not oblivious of whose house bullion vans were driven into, at the eve of the last presidential elections.
There are several fundamentally pressing unattended issues in Lagos, like the worsening drainage system, array of bad roads, area boys menace, filthy environments, couple with health facilities that is beyond the reach of the poor, power problem, lack of affordable housing for the teeming populace, near zero employment opportunities for our graduates, disorganised transportation system.
So many anomalies going on in this state that should draw your attention and not a statement of fact made by our wonderful Governor of Oyo State, that a government that had imposed itself on a state, for over twenty years of our democracy and still dragging its feet on how best to run a proper governmennt, would be flushed out soon.
It is no wonder, that if for over twenty years of governance by a particular political party over a state, and the state is still having all the above teething problems, there is no gain saying that the Government would be jittery and afraid when the opposition finally seems settled and poised to find its bearing.
