The race for the 2019 elections has begun with the commencement of campaigns on Saturday, November 18, 2018. Interestingly, the ruling APC has adopted the 'NEXT LEVEL' as its main campaign slogan and central theme. The APC intends to be sounding it loud and clear to Nigerians that the most sensible choice to make is to seek to move forward. The ruling party is telling the electorate to continue put faith in it by taking progressive steps and avoid regression which it says the main opposition party represents.
I quite agree with and in tandem with the proposition of the APC in the party's resolve to take Nigeria to the 'Next Level' However, l make bold to say that the inspiration for the 'Next Level' by APC had been originally conceived and nurtured by the Oyo State APC Governorship Candidate, Abdul-Waheed Adebayo Adelabu. The visionary and highly cerebral Bayo Adelabu had declared that the Oyo State APC government he intends to head will be geared towards taking Oyo State to 'The Next Level'! That declaration by 'Penkelemesi Reloaded' was made way back then in June, 2018 while making official public declaration to vie for the Governorship Seat in Oyo State.
The import of drawing attention to the newly adopted 'Next Level' theme of the central APC Campaign and the existing 'The Next Level' Covenant of Bayo Adelabu with the people of Oyo State should not be lost on any discerning mind. It is simply a case of the deep calling to the deep. It is a case of fertile minds working together for the benefits of all Nigerians nay the entire people of Oyo State.
While I am not privy to the decision of the central APC to adopt 'Next Level' as its battlecry, l have an inkling that the government of President Mohammadu Buhari and Comrade Adams Oshiomhole-led APC must have consulted eggheads like Bayo Adelabu before making such critical choice. And why wouldn't people like Bayo Adelabu be the Consultant-in-Chief for the adoption of such slogan if not that he had been playing such critical role for the Federal Government while he was a Deputy Governor at the apex Central Bank of Nigeria! Sure, the President knows whom he can rely on when it comes to workable and practical policies.
As it is often said, morning shows the day. The synergy that is bound to play out between President Buhari's 'Next Level' federal government and incoming Governor Adebayo Adekola Adelabu's 'The Next Level' Oyo State is bound to be unprecedented. Such synergy of purpose, passion and policy can only lead to improved livelihood for Nigerians in general and Oyo State in particular. It is thus towards the realisation of such eldorado for Oyo State that her citizens have pitched their tent with the APC. From Ibadan to Iseyin, from Oyo to Igbo-Ora, from Ogbomosho to Saki, from Eruwa to Igbeti and throughout Oyo State, the electorate have definitively decided to vote for no other person than 'Penkelemesi Reloaded' as their Governor!
In the final analysis, it serves Oyo State better to continually abide and have faith in President Buhari- led APC government. This faith would further come into reality when 'The Next Level' Oyo State Government led by incoming Governor Adebayo Adekola Adelabu is sworn into office comes Wednesday, May 29, 2019.
