Not many people know that Ogun APC chieftain, Engr. Deji Ashiru, who is one of the top contenders for the Ogun East Senate seat has withdrawn from the race. He pulled out a few weeks back and has joined the House of Reps race. We heard he pulled out after consultation with party leaders. In 2019, he contested as a senatorial candidate to represent the people of Ogun East but he lost. At that time, he made a strong impact, as thousands of people benefited from his kind gesture through his EDA Empowerment Foundation Programme, across the Senatorial district. Some of them were those clamouring for him to throw his hat in the ring again.
They believe if he has the opportunity to represent them at the National Assembly, he will attract infrastructural development to the district.
GNI TO BATTLE YAYI
Popular Ogun politician, Alhaji Gboyega Nasir Isiaka (GNI) is not happy at the turn of events in Ogun West. He is running for Senate. He is a 3-time governorshiop candidate in Ogun State.
His political ambition has pul him in a position where he would have to clash with Senator Olamilekan Adeola (Yayi) who is also running for the same slot. Recently he took on Yayi accusing the Lagos West Senator who is coming back to his home state to contest Ogun West Senatorial seat, of extravagant financial and material inducement in other to achieve his Ogun West Senatorial ambition. Yayi has transferred his voting right and the APC membership from Lagos to Ogun State, as part of his ambition to run for Senate of Ogun West.
A few days back, Adeola addressing journalists in his hometown in Ilaro Ogun State reportedly made snide remarks about GNI and in reaction by his media team GNI responded by accusing Yayi of Extravagant Financial/Material Inducement and Compromise of party structures, social structures, educational institutions, traditional institutions and very recently, religious institutions in Yewaland. GNI described Yayi’s ambition as an aberration, height of greed and immoderate. “For the umpteenth time, the immoderate ambition of Adeola to annex Ogun West Senate (as a first step in his repugnant gubernatorial pursuit) is an aberration and insult to the collective sensibilities of Yewa-Awori people. For a serving Lagos Senator to be desperately pursuing to hold an Ogun State Senatorial ticket concurrently is not only the height of Greed, but an action that confronts legality, assaults constitutionality and is morally reprehensible” the statement said.
