…Mourns Bolarinwa Babalakin, Fatimah Bamigbetan, Itunu Babalola

…Seeks Justice for Sylvester Oromoni, Don Davies Okezie

A Yoruba youths’ group has noted that the persistent achievements of Governor Gboyega Oyetola of Osun State and that of the former Governor and incumbent Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola will certainly secure victory for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the next elections in Osun State.

The youths, under the aegis of the Grand Council of Yoruba Youths, declared a period of mourning for Yoruba leaders, Bolarinwa Babalakin, Fatimah Bamigbetan, and Itunu Babalola, even as the group is seeking justice for Sylvester Oromoni and Don Davies Okezie.

The group who made these known in a statement signed by its President General, Comrade AWA Bamiji.

According to him, “We need to remind ourselves of 2018 All Progressives’ Congress Gubernatorial Primary election, where Hon. Lasun Yussuf that lost out woefully without having any evidence to disagree with the results, angrily succumbed to fate and buried his head in complete shame.

“His latest claim that the Primary election was rigged by the Chairman, Electoral Committee, now the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo Agege, in favour of the Winner of election, Governor Gboyega Oyetola, means something is wrong somewhere because as a former Deputy Speaker and a major Beneficiary of the Party’s electoral struggles, at the Federal Level, who is still aspiring to contest for Osun Gubernatorial election in 2022, but now tagging this same Party, All Progressives’ Congress, a union of Primary Election Riggers, this has publicly proved that his ongoing 2023 Senatorial electioneering Campaign under the guise of 2022 Gubernatorial Campaign is a sealed deal between him and his new Party, the People’s Democratic Party, Osun State, and that is why this Party is applauding him as Osun State political Maradona, for job welldone, for throwing stones to his old glass House, where he got the nomination form from, just to make a political statement”, Comrade AWA Bamiji said.

Unequivocally, the group said, “we are telling the whole World that this man… is a total disgrace to Islamic Religion, Judas of Osun State, is now a beautiful bride of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the same Party that had proved him to be a paper tiger by continously winning him hands down in his Irepodun Local Government, in 2018 Gubernatorial Election, All Progressives’ Congress scored 6, 517 votes while the People’s Democratic Party got 8, 058 and in 2019 general election, this shameful defeat lingers despite being the sitting Deputy Speaker, Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

The youths alleged that “He spent nothing less than N22, 500, 000, to pick the 2018 Party nomination form apart from several other millions of Naira he used for Campaign Publicity and mobilisation ahead of the Primary election, which means, he would had spent nothing less than N100, 000, 000.

“So, if you were rigged out and you have evidences as you are now claiming after 3 years, it means you are not intelligent to be the Deputy Speaker, Federal Republic of Nigeria, in the first place, not to talk of you becoming the Osun State Governor.

“No wonder, you cut corner to become the Deputy Speaker, Federal Republic of Nigeria, against the general wish.

“The arrogant action that has now relegated you into Dustin of political history since 2018.

“It is now understandable, your roar, only being the noise of a frustrated Politician who is blindly seeking political relevance”, the Comrade Awa Bamiji stated.

The statement further reads:

Surprisingly, you now turned yourself to an unrecognized megaphone of your estranged friend, (that you refused to listen to in 2015, when he advised you to step down for a popular Candidate of Yorubaland, “Ogo Ti o Koja Oye Eda Ti Ile Igbimo Asofin Kekere” Odu’a Awardee, Rt. (Hon) Femi Gbajabiamila), the Hon Minister of Interior, our ever Progressive, ever visionary, and ever dynamic Symbol of Struggles, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, in an attempt to drag him in the mud that you childishly find yourself.

You joined the enemies of Progressives to grab the food that was meant for the Prince and not a moron like you, which you had eaten alone for for good 4 years without any visible impact in your Consistency and this accounted for continous loss of All Progressives’ Congres in your Local Government, therefore, you must continue fasting alone outside the Government till you repent your sins against the Yorubas and apologize publicly to serve as a good lesson for future Traitors.

Your temperament is second to none and this disqualifies you to hold a lowest Office in the land, a Local Government Councillor Office, but sadly your team Jagba (Power Grabbers) made you the Deputy Speaker, Federal Republic of Nigeria, but today, it has dawned on you all. Disparaging your former Party is serving a good weapon for your new Party to deal with you as a Traitor in 2023 when you think, they will fulfill their pledge and give you a senatorial ticket unopposed.

You are nothing but a bad example for the upcoming Politicians.

Governor Gboyega Oyetola and Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola are two good Brothers and Partners in Progress, trained in the same Progressive School of Thought and very very soon, their publicly perceived difference will soon be a thing of past. The beauty of Democracy means, “disagree to agree”.

Not you, or even your new Political Party, People’s Democratic Party, could come in between these two Political Elephants of Yorubaland, our trusted and tested Leaders.

Their relentless and selfless contributions to the growth and development of Osun State since 2010 as 2 consecutive Governors of the All Progressives’ Congress, will surely speak volume for the Party in the next year Gubernatorial Election.

Governor Gboyega Oyetola will be glad to extend invitation to the historic commissioning of World Class Olaiya Bridge and other ongoing giant Projects of his administration to you and your completely blind Political Party of Osun Conservatives, by God’s grace.

We raise our voice in concert to seek justice for a 12 year old Sylvester Oromoni, a Student of Dowen College, Lekki, who was murdered on Thursday, 30 November, 2021, by his Coallegues for refusing to join their deadly Cult Group and sadly left his Parents in agony while mourning him on his posthumous Birthday on Saturday, 4th December, 2021; and 11 year old Don Davis Okezie, a Student of Deeper Life High School, Uyo, Akwa Ibom, who was allegedly assaulted sexually for months by his Coallegues in the School Hostel.

We mourn the retired Justice of Supreme Court, Justice Bolarinwa Oyegoke Babalakin, who passed on at the age of 94, and Mrs Fatimah Amele Bamigbetan, 48, the wife of our dear Brother, former Chairman of Ejigbo LCDA and the immediate past Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Lagos State, Hon Kehinde Bamigbetan and Itunu Babalola, 26, who painfully died in prison after being wrongly jailed in Cote D’Ivoire.

May God Almighty grant their souls sweet repose.
