Today, I have a shocker for my thousands of friends and other readers on this platform. I have decided to take a back seat in the buildup for the ongoing campaign for the Kogi central senatorial election; this means that I will not be writing anymore for Alhaji Yakubu Oseni on this platform. The reason has to do with my hard-earned reputation and integrity that is gradually being eroded because of my involvement in the campaign for APC flagbearer, Alhaji Yakubu Oseni.
There are other younger elements in the media team that will continue from where I stopped while I remain at the back seat. Be that as it may, I have decided to pen down this write-up as a thank you gift for all my dear friends and followers on this platform.
Now, let’s begin the topic of the day.
I have followed carefully the profile of the three major contestants vying for the position of senator in the next dispensation, namely, Alhaji Yakubu Oseni of the APC, Barr Natasha Akpoti of the SDP and Senator Salawu Ogembe of the PDP, they are already on the field working tirelessly to convince the electorates to path with their votes in the forthcoming senatorial election.
However, if the truth must be told, there is a consensus that Alhaji Yakubu Oseni is the best option for the plum job come 2019. Against this background, therefore, this writer wishes to enjoin the electorates to do Ebira nation a big favour by casting their votes for Alhaji Yakubu Oseni, the man I considered, in my wisdom, as capable and eminently qualified to represent Ebira nation at the upper chamber of the National Assembly all variables put together.
You may argue with me on this position, but the fact remains that you may find it very hard to fault me based on the reasonable ground. I have known Alhaji Yakubu Oseni for the past three years and have come to the general conclusion that he is vocal, eloquent, vibrant, accessible, dynamic, innovative, resourceful, pragmatic and highly credible at any point in time. This is my personal opinion based on my longstanding rapport with the man Yakubu Oseni.
Before I sign off, I wish to assure all my good readers and followers on this platform that they may hear from me again if my hard-earned reputation and integrity are no longer at stake. Hopefully, the truth will overcome falsehood being peddled by busybodies and inconsequential elements over my person.
I have continued to ask myself why Ebira people are so neck-deep in the art of pull him down syndrome and character assassination that has dominated the polity over the years. I may never get an answer to this disturbing trend in our society today.
