Alhaji Isiaka Kehinde's Disquisition on a Leader of Leaders

Deji, let me  join you in a shout out to  Asiwaju, not because of those factors you have heralded, which are also, by no means tenuous, but more for his being a bridge builder, his settled mind, a charioter of change, his never say die spirit, his staying power, bullet proof confidence, political savvy, unflagging zeal to ease the burden of his followers, personal magnetism, promethian spirit, ability to manage  political risk, ability to discover and unlock potentials, amenable to fresh ideas, his generosity without borders, strategic thinking, ability to sustain development legacy of Lagos, ability to shift ground when necessary, flexibility if you like, he can be wily and foxy to palaver the opposition elements. His out of this world stamina to fight several battles and come out unscathed. Where most people see difficulty, he sees plethoras of opportunity.  His ability to discover roles that fits into each person's core competencies. Even a wooly brained Agbero has his own use in Asiwaju empire, Bluntness that is often misconstrued for arrogance, ability to build political empire where several leaders fail.  His guts and the brio to shout down hecklers. His willingness to support women in politics and give them access, his vigour to pummel opposition leaders into a corner and show them he is defacto a superior figure. Most importantly, love or hate him, jagaban is a leader of leaders. Apart from IBB boys in history, the Asiwaju boys come close. Mind you, all these so called boys are leaders in their own domain. Wishing omo olodo ide, many happy returns.

Celebrating Mr Ethics Isiaka Kehinde - A Rare Breed of High Intelligentsia

Many Happy Birthday wishes to Alhaji Kehinde Adeniyi Isiaka - a man of high ethical value. I've come across very few men whose reputation always precedes everything they encounter in life, their value is always prominent in their engagements. It doesn't drive you financially forward much though, it however takes you to your destination at a snail's pace. But a good name, they say, is better than gold and silver.

His immense contribution to ethical reorientation in Oyo State as a case study ought to have been widely accepted and advanced by the society but it is the direct opposite, rather, it is undervalued and underappreciated. In his personal capacity he produces and donates free to the public - a quarterly edition of 'The Ethics Magazine' which helps to enlighten the youth and society at large the rare benefits of Integrity and Ethics in the society. He preaches the ethical gospel in social gatherings, seminars and in schools. He has contributed even more.

Nigeria is at the point of ethical dearth and ethical reorientation needs to be placed at the forefront of our daily activities: in secondary schools, tertiary institutions, private enterprise, firms, government parastatals and so on. Like I once said somewhere that 'In saner climes, he'd be a top renowned national figure for his immense capacity and invaluable vast ability in human ethics, mentorship, value orientation, capacity building etc' but we have a situation that is akin to death of moral value, immorality is the new benchmark for the youths and people now feed off social vices more than ever.

The government should introduce ethics into governance, say Ethics department in government, like they do operate in the advanced worlds, the US, the UK and many more. It will go a long way to bring a rebirth in the ethical standards of our state and country at large. Ethical revolution is one of the many points in helping to promote standards, integrity and sound consciousness in our teeming youths so as to build a better future and serene living environment for the citizenry.

Here's Deeduke Media wishing this already great man a prosperous birthday celebration. A true Quinquagenarian who deserves a grip at the helm of affairs in one of our parastatals in the nearest future.

A true rare breed of high intelligentsia - Isiaka Adeniyi Kehinde.

Adelabu Host Party Faithfuls, Promises more Philanthropy through his Foundation BAF

The APC governorship candidate at the just concluded election in Oyo State, Oloye Bayo Adelabu Penkelemesi yesterday hosted his foundation groups, cordinators and party faithfuls at his Foundation House, Bayo Adelabu Foundation (BAF) HEP center in Jericho where he congratulated and appreciated their immense contributions at the just concluded elections.

While speaking, Bayo Adelabu commended the party's invaluable contribution towards the election and the result which amounted to so much of their resources including energy and time. He made a pact with the people present to always stand by the party and contribute to its development through all the means available. He promised to contribute further to the society at large through his independent organisation, Bayo Adelabu Foundation (BAF) as he will use the medium to empower the people of the state in general.

The people present at the venue were entertained with special music by Dele Bravo, the Juju Music star of Ibadan who played to the people's delight. Everybody present danced to the tune of the music with so much joy in the atmosphere. They were also entertained with drinks and food thereafter.

I Never Blamed Party Leaders for the APC Loss at the Poll - Adelabu

The gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Saturday, March 9, 2019 election in Oyo State has expressed his deep appreciation to all leaders and members of the party who worked tirelessly for his electioneering campaign.

Adelabu expressed this while responding to an online news medium, SaharaReporters which alleged that he blamed the party's leadership for his failure.

According to a statement by his spokesperson, Dr. Bayo Busari, the allusion that he engaged a personal assistant to the governor of Oyo State, Dayo Iyaniwura in a fistcuff was far from the truth.

"How can I fight with the governor's PA who was dedicated to my aspiration from beginning to the end and I knew everyone worked for me and the party during the campaigns?" Adelabu queried.

"Dayo is my brother and I don't have issue with him nor with the leadership of the party," he reiterated.

He expressed his appreciation to Governor Abiola Ajimobi, the chairman of APC in Oyo State, Chief Akin Oke and the entire party leadership, saying without them he couldn't have recorded the feat he achieved in the election.

He also commended all the aspirants who stepped down for him during the party's primary and for standing by the party to ensure that the party remained united during the elections.

IBADAN YOUTH COUNCIL (IYC) Endorses Adelabu, Says Seyi Makinde's Origin is Ilesha

The umbrella body of the all Ibadan Youths Indigenes Associations, Ibadan Youth Council (IYC), has endorsed the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Oloye Bayo Adelabu as the next Governor of Oyo State.

In a statement released and signed by the President of the Council Hon Alabi Sulaimon on Thursday, the council made it clear that having critically examined the profile of all the candidates in the state, Adelabu is found to be the best who can paddle the affairs of the state effectively and efficiently.

"We have critically juxtaposed and analysed the profile of the two leading candidates and we found Adelabu to be the best having considered his vast experiences in both the private and public sectors, educational attainment, commitment to the development of Oyo state and many more"

The council also noted that Engr Seyi Makinde's indigeneship is equivocal as many groups have recently alleged the PDP candidate of being an indigene of Erinmo Ilesha and which he (Makinde) has not debunked at any point in time. The council therefore urged all indigenes and residents of Ibadan and Oyo state as a whole to cast their votes for Oloye Bayo Adelabu for the progress of Oyo State.

Clarion Call for Ona-Ara LG to Vote Abidemi Sanusi Ola-Iya for House of Assembly

There is no gainsaying that, my beloved Ona-Ara LG have suffered from bad representation in the past, it has suffered from bad leadership and poor structure. The 'Ojelus' have grown a pot belly from the excessive milking of our resources and their abundant but bereaved ideas of transforming our untapped resources to common wealth. What a shame. They ought to cover their faces in shame, yet they walk head tall like victors and conquerors in World Wars.

It must be pointed out however, that we have had little representatives in the past who have stood tall against the usual occultic oppression and have done immensely well for the people. This is the favorable trend that can help bring and uphold a lasting legacy for Ona-Ara LG in Ibadan.

Hon. Abidemi Sanusi Ola-Iya, the All Progressives Candidate in Ona-Ara LG, is a man who have excelled in all ramification of my screening exercise conducted. Here is a prudent and honest man, who definitely knows his onions, not the usual empty headed leaders who have absolutely nothing to share in terms of value and prospect. A renowned public speaker and CEO of Sustainable African Waste Initiative (SAWI) which has gone a long way to impact positively on the environment and society at large. This initiative in itself, can add multiple value to Ona-Ara LG, as it can provide basic knowledge and employment for the teeming youths, yet set us on a pedestal for cleanliness, healthy environment and waste recycling which amounts to wealth in the new age system.

With Abidemi Sanusi as our representative in the State House of Assembly, quality representation will not befall us and with more youthful participation in politics, we can begin to see the gradual growth Ona-Ara LG long deserved. The world is moving digital, let us all work together to get Ona-Ara working in the right direction for greatness.

Let's troop out and vote for the All Progressives Party (APC) with Hon. Abidemi Sanusi Ola-Iya, for the State House of Assembly and Bayo Adelabu Penkelemesi as Governor of Oyo State. ...Aye ti yi pada s'Ona-Ara, Ona-Ara lawa yii o eee

100 Reasons Why My Vote is for Bayo Adelabu Penkelemesi - Part 3

100 Reasons Why My Vote is for Bayo Adelabu Penkelemesi - Part 2

... comparing Adelabu Penkelemesi with other Gubernatorial candidates of other parties in Oyo state is like putting fire beside frost. After my last piece on this same subject, I got a call from a quiet reader, a type that reads and digests  all posts but rarely passing any comment. I call them "Waka pass readers".  The guy said 'with the little I have read about Bayo Adelabu, I can boldly say, he is incomparable with others. Whoever argues that must be a "Pyrrho". Out of sincere inquisitiveness, I asked the caller, what or who a Pyrrho is? He enlightened me that "Pyrrho is a character discovered by Epictetus who was fond of saying there is no difference between dying and living and when a man asked him, why then do you choose to live? He replied, "because there is no difference". He concluded by saying, "Kenny, please, I can't wait for part 2 of your unbiased analysis, whoever says there is no difference between Oloye Adelabu Adebayo and the rest, doesn't know what a difference is". Really, I was having a totally different topic to write on today, but for this bloke, I will continue with the 100 reasons why I will vote Oloye Adelabu Adebayo Penkelemesi as the next governor of Oyo state. To the quiesent caller who will not for all the world want to see his name put in a public space and other silent majority that equally admire the qualitative uniqueness of the Penkelemesi, I dedicate today's edition. God bless Oyo state.

.........
26. Nobility of birth. Oloye Adelabu Adebayo is one who fanatically Cherishes  his family name. He once said, "l will never attempt anything that would put my family exalted name in disrepute". He considers Penkelemesi as a special glass ceiling, a kind of virtue, under which he stands, he will rather live to protect than smash it.

27. Corporate Experience. He towers above equals in corporate experience which he garnered over the past nearly thirty years and equipped him with cutting edge strategies that good governance requires.

28.  Academic Laurel. That Adelabu bagged a first class is no longer hidden to the public. It needs be added that throughout his primary and post primary education, he never for once, came second in his class. He believes that true honour can not be attained through specious dignities.

29. Achievable policy thrust. Adelabu did not just bore his audience with vague and unrealistic expectations. He comes with a template of a 7 point realizable goals, a firm pillar on which his manifestoes rests.

He is trained to avoid administrative peels, identify conduit pipes through which state funds can be siphoned by some greedy people and pluck the leakages. He can easily crack the codes to save the state's resources from the "administrative pilferers".

32. Courage. He is a man with lots of  spunk, he believes with courage, no defeats.

33. Fairness to all. He was quoted in a radio interview, saying 'I tend to reinvent the social system in a way that will favour both dorminant and disadvantaged groups".

34. Boosting IGR. He has the solution to the dwindling state IGR like a stat in his palm. He has been mentioning on air some focal areas through which IGR can be jerked forward in Oyo state, he will, given the mandate, walk the talk.

35. Strategic thinking. He does not live a space in every faculties inside his brains. He fits into what Karl Jasper calls "pressing beyond everything objective".

36. A reform moulded technocrat. He is an astute professional in politics, not a professional politician.

37. People first. He believes in striking alliance with his people. He says 'if you and your people don't have a common agenda, the alliance is doomed".

38. Civility. I once put in perspective that Oloye Adelabu Adebayo is civil, but never obsequious. Humble without eating an  humble pie.

39. Traceable source of income. He is not a 'magic millionaire", with stinking past. He rose through the ladder of success that follows what philosophers call "Ancient triangular principle of success, - Birth, Association and Hardwork.

43. Personal Magnetism.

44. I can say it loud and clear Oloye Adelabu Adebayo is a book voracious. He reads to lead.

46.Resents political prebendalism.

47.Oloye Adelabu Adebayo has no ears for hearsay. He is like a Craftsman with no time for rumour mongers.

Alao Akala and the Dilemma of a Gadfly

"The worst sorrow is the remembrance of one's lost joys"

To any good political observer, dumping his own governorship ambition and deciding to join the Penkelemesi moving train is the wisest decision any rational leader could have taken in the present circumstances that our own Otunba Christopher Alao Akala found himself.

Power is a deceitful bride. And at the point power which makes a leader happy, if caution is not excercised, there, the imotence which makes them miserable begins. To put it straight, Otunba Akala is that wise political general who does not advance when it's time to beat a retreat. He does not race against the tide. He said with a sense of pride that his decision to support Oloye Adebayo Adelabu is for common good. I agree no less. Leadership is not what you want sometimes, it's what you must. When a leader chooses for himself, he chooses for others. As Boethius says "power, fame and fortune are inadequate and disappointing, only useful towards the attainment of the supreme good, not as ends in themselves".

Alao Akala in an obviously enthusiastic mood, narrated to his people how he was flown to Abuja on a chattered flight and how lucky he is to have been so  considered amongst the political mighties in Oyo State for such honour. He told them how the tour afforded him the opportunity to place the issue of ownership of Ladoke Akintola University, their University, in the front burner during the discussion and  explicated how he never forgot to mention to the powers that be to take immediate action on the repair of the dilapidated Oyo-Ogbomosho road among other bargaining chips. Lo and behold, he did not go to gabble away his personal problems to bore his hosts, but primarily went to the negotiation table to advance common interest of all, particularly, his own immediate constituents.

For crying out loud, the right of political association and to choose who to work with is a non tresspassable right as enshrined in the 1948 UN declaraion of Human rights. Yet, Akala, as a leader of leaders, knows that his own right is intertwined with that of his teeming supporters. He put them into consideration and took the step he thought best for them. But, sadly, we are in a political situation in Oyo state where many people want to push their leaders to a desperate solution to advance their personal or group's interest. A situation aptly described by Frederick Douglas as "where ignorance prevails".

That the ex-Governor Akala lives his life by his own terms is too obvious for a new emphasis. Also  incontrovertible is his uncanny love of his people. Giving any opportunity, Otunba Akala will fight for his people. To him, Ogbomosho axis is the political capital of the world. I can say with absolute sense that he is an agile leader who in today's world beat the competition. It would amount to a reverse logic for anyone to expect the Otun of the source to backstep when he has already taken the morally and politically right step. It will be a losing proposition.

Those who are whining and railing today that Akala is a self centered leader forgets in a hurry that Akala would not take any action inimical to the interest of the majority. Obviously, those minority spewing gibberish on social media are truly the self opinionated ones.

To cap it all, Otunba Akala promised not to leave his "political boys" in the lurch. He offered them an olive branch in his giving absolute support to all those vying for the state Assembly position under ADP and adjured them to remain in ADP until their mission is accomplished. What else do you want him to do? Akala is not a rogue elephant in Oyo politics, only a stupe will join any plot to dislodge him.

It goes beyond petty argument that Otunba Akala will be in upbeat mood now that he is on  a political rebound. He must have that innermost satisfaction that he is a people's champion who is being sought, where others seek. I heard Governor Kayode Fayemi visited him today, cheery news, for thinking aloud, how many governor of ADP paid him a visit last? It's presumptuous to think that a leader in a fringe political party will attract a huge dividend for his people.

Looking at it from another angle, Otunba Akala's firm and spot on decision to support Oloye Adebayo Adelabu Penkelemesi is more divine than fortuitous. Penkelemesi mandate is is divinely blessed. When God works for you, every creature will rise up in your favour. Those who delay or dally will be put in total shame. As we say in Penkele movement, 'Ileri Oluwa n lati se'. The next level is guaranteed. It's beyond the reach of the mortal to alter. March 9th is it, Adelabu Adebayo is the answer.

I Don't Need Ogbomoso and Akala's Votes to Win the Election - Seyi Makinde Reiterates

The Guber Candidate of the PDP in Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde yesterday reiterated it loud to the listening ears at a meeting briefly organised by some sociopolitical clubs in Ibadan that he doesn't need any vote from Ogbomoso and any Alao Akala group to win the next election coming up on the 9th of March, 2019.

He reiterated the words again for the people gathered to allay fears that might arise from the heat of the election campaign. He said there have been rumors about Chief Adebayo Alao Akala meeting with the chieftains of the ruling party, APC. He questioned the integrity of the two caucus meeting and what they both stand to lose from the accord. He said Ogbomoso that the APC wants to form a merger with, have a meagre percentage of voters in Oyo State which is considerably low and will have no real effect on the election eventual outcome.

He said the PDP stands tall above its peers in the presidential election, so therefore he is posed to win the election come 9th of March. He went on to say how he can match the APC fire for fire, pound for pound and cash for cash. He said he has the financial strength to compete and in fact overpower the ruling party APC.

He then told his supporters to come out and vote for the PDP so as to enjoy the dividends of democracy and cut short the regime of the apc. He maintained that it is only the PDP that can salvage the people of Oyo state from poverty and the PDP have shown that in the last election by giving the registered voters huge sums of cash for votes on the presidential election date, he said they will even do more for his own election.

I Don't Need Akala to Win My Election - Seyi Makinde

The gubernatorial candidate of the PDP in Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde yesterday while addressing a group of traders and artisans in Ibadan, the state capital said he does not need the support of Adebayo Alao Akala to defeat the APC candidate, Chief Bayo Adelabu, in the state. He said this while canvassing for the support of some sect of traders and market unions present at an event organized yesterday.

Seyi Makinde comments were probably a rejoinder to the recently released BBC video of Chief Adebayo Alao Akala who claimed that Seyi Makinde was a neophyte in the political circle, that he should go and begin from the preliminary stage and that he had never been a councillor, chairman, house of representative or senator before aspiring to become the governor of the state. In the same video, he further likened Makinde attempt at the governorship seat to the popular phrase - 'hop step and jump', that he is not fit to become the governor of the state.

Seyi Makinde at the organised event paraphrased most of Chief Adebayo Alao Akala comments and said he can do it alone despite the negative comments by former governor, Adebayo Akala. He went on to say that with the support of Abubakar Atiku and the PDP at large, he can move mountains in Oyo State. He thanked the people present at the event and asked them not to be disturbed with the negative comments of Chief Alao Akala as he will reach the promise land of Oyo State without the support of the former governor.

Ajimobi: A True Democrat's Way of Defeating a Defeat By Isiaka Kehinde

"When you see a leader, you can see an organization" - Charles Galloway

An hero may suffer a momentary defeat, he never feels deflated. He sits up afterwards, never suck up a moment. This is what psychologist called "accepting defeat gracefully". Only a man with a large heart like Governor Abiola Ajimobi can treat the two extremes of both success and defeat with such equanimity that keeps lesser beings drooling. He has really proven right the inventors of the old maxim which says "Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional".

Before the much awaited final result was let open some people with doom-laden thoughts were already gathering in twos and threes talking in hush tones on how  Governor Ajimobi would never accept defeat in the just concluded Oyo South Senatorial election. Going with the pockets of "grievious infractions and patent electoral malpractices that accompanied the election as claimed by Governor Ajimobi himself, to an unbiased mind, it  wouldn't have been a moral misjudgement if he had flagrantly refused to accept the outcome. But he did accept and proved the cynics wrong.  The question was flying in the air all over the town that how could the "constituted authority" have  allowed the cup to pass without even a little fight? What a flawed personality judgement!

A sage says you can't prevent defeat but  you can control your reaction, if only you are stronger than the defeat. A strong and reliable leader that he is, Governor Ajimobi beated every inclination towards deafeatism with matured mind. He didn't allow himself to be enfeebled by the defeat, rather, as he said 'decided to let go in the interest of peace" . Not every man in his shoes will let go his ego and calmly accepted the situation. He has really proven that leadership is not about ego trip - it's a sacrifice. The defeat might have come with serious pains, but he applied peace as a soothing balm which he considers greater than the electoral drawbacks.

Kudos to the Koseleri governor for not accepting the non-accepting emotions to overrun him.  He loves his state so much that he didn't want his beloved state to be on fire, thus, he carefully avoided what the philosopher KR Popper called "unwanted consequences of our actions". His action bespoke not hypocritical humility but a sincere one. He believes that no difficulty must be too strong to be overcome. He honoured the good people of Oyo state by keeping untainted the honorific status that his exalted office confers. He chose public interest above personal interest in a free exchange that is not by any means a fair exchange. He deserves our applauses.

That Ajimobi has defeated his defeat with positive thinking deserves our collective praise. He conceded defeats to strengthen his party towards the realisation of his Next Level project. He knows full well that a party survives only when it is strong. He said 'if I loose the ticket and the party was able to gain, then there is nothing to feel sad about". And the after-polls  results  evidently corroborated this: nine House of Representatives members, two senators all in one grab is by no means a negligible feat.

When you loose with grace, you are winning another race. Behind the cloud of one defeat is another silver line lurking. As they say, when you overcome the earth, the stars will be all yours. Governor Ajimobi has just paid his own ticket as a ransom for the state to flourish.

Governor Ajimobi gave kudos to the good people of Oyo state for "appreciating the development stride of APC in the state". This, he said, they have demonstrated by coming out in large number to vote for the APC candidates in the Saturday  Presidential and NASS elections. He also called on the people of Oyo state to replicate same gesture by voting in the APC governorship candidate a quiescent exemplar, Adebayo Adelabu Penkelemesi and the State Assembly candidates fielded by the party. For a man who has sacrificed hugely for the state with his own Senatorial bid, me thinks, he has not demanded too much a recompense. Let's join hands to move Oyo state to the next developmental level. That's Governor Ajimobi's dream. We must make it happen.

How Bayo Adelabu Delivered his Polling Unit for Buhari and Ajimobi

The APC gubernatorial candidate in Oyo State, Chief Bayo Adelabu on Saturday made sure he delivered his polling unit to President Muhammadu Buhari and Sen. Abiola Ajimobi as a mark of loyalty and passion for his party and leadership.

He made certain that he won with a wide margin to portray his commitment to the party and let the people know that he knows about the intrigue in politics.

In his ward 9, polling unit 10 of Ibadan South East in Oke-Oluokun at the home of the great sage, Adegoke Adelabu Penkelemesi, President Muhammadu Buhari polled 60 votes against the PDP candidate, Atiku Abubakar, who polled 36.

In the same for polling unit for the senatorial election, Sen. Abiola Ajimobi polled 60 votes while the PDP candidate Dr. Kola Balogun polled 23 votes. He also won the House of Representative votes with 58 votes to the PDP 21.

Bayo Adelabu was at the polling unit with his wife, Chief (Mrs) Seyi Adelabu who also came out to exercise her civil responsibility and vote for her preferred candidates.

Post Olamiju Akala Suspension from the APC, Alao Akala Set to Decamp to the PDP

It is no longer news in Oyo State that the chairman of Ogbomoso North LG, Olamijuwon Alao Akala has been suspended from office. He was relieved of his chairmanship role after he was seen participating in the election campaign and then tendering his official letter of decamp from the ruling party to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In the same vein, the former governor of Oyo State and father of Olamijuwon, Gov. Adebayo Alao Akala is being rumored to be in close shave with the PDP guber candidate in the state, Engr. Seyi Makinde, over a purported plan to decamp to the PDP. Unconfirmed report reaching us is that Seyi Makinde has reserved a huge sum of money running into billions from the money allocated for the presidential election for his gubernatorial election come March 9. He is also believed to have awarded a huge lump of cash to Adebayo Alao Akala as a mark of commitment to decamp and work for the African Democratic Party (ADP).

Though Chief Adebayo Alao Akala has debunked the rumors making the rounds that he is working for the PDP, many of the ADP faithfuls however, find it difficult to take his words as he's widely known for his wavering and hoggish style of taking sensitive political decisions without awarding due consideration for his party members. The members and executives of the ADP are therefore also taking into the cognisance their comeuppance when eventually Gov Alao Akala finally sells them and the party to the PDP.

One of the ADP chieftains on hearing this revelation and who would prefer to remain anonymous said there's an ongoing plan in the state executive to protest against such frivolous and gross incompetence from their governorship candidate and party draconian leadership of Adebayo Alao Akala.

Adelabu Never Plan Massive Lay Off of Oyo Workers - FOBA

Our attention has been drawn to a wild rumour making the rounds in some quarters that the governorship candidate of the APC in Oyo state, Oloye Adebayo Adelabu has in pipeline to retrench workers, should he emerge victorious in the forthcoming election.

The rumor which was part of the calculated gambit of an opposition party to obstruct the reasoning of the civil servants in the state and cast a pall of fear into their minds was another lie of commission that has become the new fad of the opposition elements already jittery of their impending jarring electoral defeat.

We are however amazed at the value debasement  of spreading falsehood that the opposition parties have sunk into all in the name of politics, especially at this time when the world has tilted towards issue-based politics. Sooner than later, their lies will fail, truth will prevail.

We hereby urge the members of the public especially the civil servants not to fall for the cheap blackmail of the opposition. By contrast, they should renew their hope in Adebayo Adelabu Penkelemesi, a man of nobility of character who is in politics to promote welfare of the society and dignity of humanity.

We need to point out here that Oloye Adebayo Adelabu's entire policy thrust is aimed at constructing never to destruct. He has mapped out some cutting edge strategies that will improve the lot of the civil servants, develop human resources,  strengthen institutions and advance the interest of the entire people of Oyo state.

It is disheartening that instead of coming out with their own developmental plan (if at all they have any), the opposition elements who are apparently backwardly mobile are renouncing rightful thinking and resorting to deceits and cheap blackmail to palaver the voters. Thankfully, the electirates are wiser.

We hereby urge the good people of Oyo state not to be swayed by the hand wringing antics of the opposition elements and remain resolute in pursuing the goodness of Oyo state through their unflagging support for Oloye Adebayo Adelabu. Together we will move Oyo state to the next level.

When the Genuine Philanthropy of Engr. Seyi Makinde Becomes a Doubt

"The proper aim of giving is to put the recipients in a state where they no longer need our gifts." – C. S. Lewis

When Lewis made this assertion, he probably had a similar dilemma and school of thought as most of the Oyo state electorates with regards to our present state of mind in choosing our probable leader.

The primary aim of philanthropy is to alleviate poverty at the barest, this is achieved by relieving the society of the extra burden of the poor or the masses by transforming the standard of living of the people to a new level in economic growth through provision of jobs, job materials or professional trainings to improve the capacity of the people. This should be the goal and not the other way round where you watch the people come back for their daily needs everyother day.

This is easily the core undertone defining the pattern of votes of most electorates who galvanize a misconception of sympathy towards one of the candidates in this year's election. The CEO of Makon Group and candidate in one of the political parties in this year's election, has probably engaged in philanthropy to an unprecedented level, however, he has failed to take philanthropy to the level prescribed by Lewis. He has failed to teach the people how to fish, he has given them fishes over the years, yet they return to his doorstep for more, hence enhancing the blind perception that he gives to the poor. So much for giving alms that you forget to teach the people how to create wealth and not allow them come back to beg from your coffers of affluence.

By simple persistency, Seyi Makinde is palpably appealing to the sympathy of the electorates, he has been here and there fiddling with the minds of the people saying how much he will eradicate suffering of the people of Oyo State. However, he goofed with this rational assumption, he is merely playing with the intelligence of the voters by trying too hard to reap from where he did not sow. His antecedents must be inline with his proposition for the people of Oyo state before he can be trusted with the economy of the state. He has been at the forefront of the election phase since 2007, yet his mark of philanthropy on the lives of the Oyo State citizenry has not gone beyond sheer charity.

He enjoys flaunting his immense wealth with his favorite maxim - 'eni to ba fe daso funyan, torun e lako ma wo', but instead he should make an exhibition of his contribution to human and economic development aside the common alms giving he is known for, which are relatively crumbs or tiny fractions of his wealth, at a stage where it ought to have transformed to an epochal and exemplary gesture to the people.

At the last debate at Splash FM, he was waxing lyrical on how he will go about the transformation of the economic position of Oyo State with the Agricultural revamp and giving particular due interest to Oke-Ogun zone as the vantage point of execution. What he obviously forgot to mention was how he had practiced it in his personal capacity, a much reflection of his maxim 'eni toba fe daso funyan, torun e lako ma wo'. Engr. Seyi Makinde is obviously out to steer the ship of Oyo State on a voyage he has never been to himself, in his entire working capacity. He has never tried his hands on Agriculture. He has no known business setup here in Oyo State, he is not known for employing any large number of Oyo State indigenes in his business empire. He hasn't enthused either of his intension to borrow from any prototypical venture of his as a standard for showcasing his vast experience in any sector other than the oil sector which is nonexistence in retreading the economy of Oyo State. It is all fictional to him. A blatant pretence to selfishly become the first citizen of Oyo State hence, return us back to those inglorious days of inept and shallow leadership. We are off that!

His philanthropic gesture should however, not go underwhelmed or unnoticed, this is only a proponent for actualisation of true and sincere altruism which is the mean to an end of philanthropy. He has to expand his horizon and practice alleviation of poverty using the global best practice of job creation and capacity development, not the tongue in cheek approach he is believed to be operating. His true leadership endowment comes into question with his primitive and short sighted bearing, which will evidently characterise his approach of governance and will not readily go down well with the developmental pattern of the State laid down by the present Governor, Sen. Abiola Ajimobi, replica of the proverbial, 'taking one step forward, then taking two steps back', which we gravely frown at for our dear Oyo State.

Bayo Adelabu Penkelemesi: Between Arrogance, Humility and the Humble Pie

To some people, you are a humble man only if you can lower your head to receive their hard  knocks. They expect you to emotes a sign of hunger even when you have just filled your stomach with sumptuous meal. If they refer to that as being humble, they probably don't know what  hypocritical humility is.

When you sit up to confront your fears, to them, you are arrogant. It's only when you suck up and fuck up that you are considered humble .  The pertinent question here is, must anyone pretend inferiority to merit "a humble man award?"  That honour would be unmerited as it is a product of the falsehood of the heart.

When I read in a recent post on FB about someone pointing into the direction of Oloye Adelabu Adebayo Penkelemesi as the most arrogant among all the candidates vying for governorship seat in Oyo state. I was taken aback, not for the insincerity that post itself represented as in the hasty conclusion by it's  author. I began to cross examine myself and asked where and when  was the most arrogant  candidate contest organised, for him to have given his verdict. I simply laughed off the  inanity.

The inventors of the arrogance tale, perhaps to impress their own pay masters have already inexorably fallen into a self indulging moral trap.

When I further probed what has Oloye Adelabu Adebayo Penkelemesi done or left undone to be given arrogant tag, they had nothing to say other than" he always revealed to the public how the jobs he created or the ones facilitated for people have rubbed off on the people of Oyo state". Not that alone, "he is too boastful of his academic excellence which he wears like a Laurel".

What a lame excuse. I am still wondering when has it become fashionable to be condemning anybody for not hiding what he has? Life itself is built on the pillars of a pecking order.  The inscription on the entrance of Plato's Academy readily comes to my mind "no one without a knowledge of Mathematics may enter here". In a simple analysis, we may be equally born, but not equally endowed.

It's imponderable that anybody can ever think that to avoid public broadsides, Oloye Adelabu Adebayo should lie about his degree or keep mum about the people he has gainfully employed. How does that add up? They said, he has a conceited profile, I asked them if it's the fault of a peacock for having long feathers that brandishes it's attractive colours? Academic excellence is a qualitative uniqueness that any man can hide only to offend his creator who has endowed him with such special gift. Oloye Adelabu Adebayo owes nobody apologies for bagging a first class, he is not, and can never be among the second best. Those who cares to know about what makes a difference should be prepared for the difference between Adelabu Adebayo Penkelemesi, the APC governorship candidate and the others.

It's a common knowledge that Oloye Adelabu Adebayo Penkelemesi holds both the old and the young in high esteem. This he does without being obsequious. Only those people who are classed by John Locke  for lacking the nous to distinguish truth from appearance will not know that Adelabu does not only strive to attain values, he creates values. He is humility personified.

Just imagine this. When Oloye Adelabu Adebayo was trying stenuously to open doors of employment to people in his private capacity, no one accused him of arrogance, now that he has to glorify God for a prayer answered as he was able to provide meals for over six hundred people in Oyo state, the social media trolls said he must be arrogant for mentioning it in a public debate. If they have a candidate that matches such feat, why did they flinch to push him or her forward?

Yes. He is confident. Oloye Adelabu never believed in impossibility. To him, there is no obstacle that can't be overcome. I once wrote to attest to his bullet proof courage which started right from his Secondary School days. What a pity it that those who are now bruiting about that he is arrogant are naively confusing confidence with arrogance. Will they be tutored or are they deliberate obtuse to knowing that arrogance is not excessive confidence, it's really lack of it.

The arm chair critics who said Oloye Adelabu Adebayo is not humble enough because they are expecting him to eat an humble pie, which he has openly rejected are the ones who are arrogant in every sense of the word.

Oloye Adelabu Adebayo is in politics to honour God and will never conceal the greatness of God in his life to please any mortal who can not alter what the immortal God has bestowed on him. This is never to be mistaken for arrogance.  Those who know him well will always stand up to defend this - Omo Penkelemesi is humble to a fault. Leave dirty politics and join the only available train to the Next level in Oyo state. O maa to penkele better.
