This is the main problem of the Yoruba race. OTE! Betrayal on many grounds.
My way or the highway. No one wants to compromise their individual ways for the general good!
Even Asiwaju BOLA Ahmed Tinubu is well known for compromising his decisions for the general good, so many times.
As much as I love and appreciate Asiwaju, I can not agree that his ways will always be the best way.
He is not God!
His choice of Mimiko in Ondo, ended in betrayal.
His choice of Aketi lost the first election against Mimiko.
His choice of Fayemi for second term lost that election.
Fashola could hardly get Asiwaju's approval for a second term. But he won, based on his performance.
How many Campaigned has Asiwaju supported? Did we always win? No!
These will be just a few to mention.
If we really want Asiwaju to live long for us all, we must desist from equating him to the Almighty.
He is too vital to the Nigerian politics.
As far as APC is concerned, this interview among a few others, has dug the grave for that Party, starting from Ondo to the Central. And that is very selfish. Very very selfish!
You may want to face the problem of, why can't we agree, lose today and win tomorrow? Lose an argument and win a friend?
I ask u, who in Ondo State wants to vote for APC now? Who wants to vote for AD? But, either the incumbent Party splits into 2 or 4, they will win. Simply because, the Party that is positioned to snatch the seat is now divided. Divided by matters that can easily be internally resolved.
Now, I ask, who makes Party decisions?
Oyegun or Asiwaju?
Why MUST the Party Chairman resign because Asiwaju demands his resignation? That is an insult to the Party itself!
There should be deliberations and internal dialogue towards all sorts of compromise and decisions!
An insult on the Party Chairman is an insult on the Party itself. And we just seem to forget that, we seek the Votes of the Electorates, not the Party Members!
We have presented our Party as a Fraud. How do u intend to turn that around and win an election.
As far as Aketi is concerned, it is a bad sign to the State and the Nation if we can not re-present the same Candidate of our last election.
Aketi contested against Mimiko at the last election. If APC can not present Aketi at this election, it simply means that our choice of Aketi was wrong. Therefore, any other choice now, must be wrong too! Simple.
Abraham! Sincerely, can Abraham stand up to Mimiko's Choice in Ondo?
All the votes that Abraham garnered at the Party primary was simply because of Asiwaju's instruction. But, can that instruction win the election?
This is now a National Party. It must be treated as such.
Those who understand the people of Ondo, will know that, they are rare people. Your Choice may not be their Choice. And pls remember, the Ondo people that I know, do not want to be under the control of Asiwaju!
That is the simple logic that won a second term for Mimiko. He simply sensitized his people to refuse to be under Asiwaju. And they agreed! And u know, they haven't changed their minds! ('minds'...because, Ondo does not have a united mind)
Our divided crave for office, is not a desire for public development. But, individual relevance!
If we slide individual relevance aside and consider public development, this fights wouldn't surface.
As it is now, Ondo is staying with PDP! Until we retrace our steps quicker than we demand Oyegun's resignation.
Ire O!
