The political season is upon us, people ! Brace yourselves to see different characters of jesters, trouble makers, mischief makers and what have you. These folks will fight tooth and nail to outdo themselves for different reasons, mostly pecuniary, and some just to shove themselves in our face with their nuisance factor. It was indeed amusing to see a certain Deji Adeyanju getting in on the act recently, targeting the Oyo State Governor, His Excellency, Engr Seyi Makinde. It was also quite ridiculous as this article will show.
For starters, Deji Adeyanju, in his own words, claimed that he was in Ibadan for a day or two and in that amount of time, the man came to the shocking conclusion that there was “Zero Governance” in Oyo state. Pray tell, how can any sane human come to such a conclusion with such a short visit ? It was very ridiculous to say the least. It is obvious that Adeyanju is totally off his rocker with this submission.
If there was any doubt that the young man is disturbed and going through a difficult period at the moment, such has been cleared with this recent rants by a largely jobless plebian seeking the attention of a noble.
It is indeed in Mr. Adeyanju’s character to be a fly in the ointment. However, he has taken on a wrong target this time. If he thought that by spewing rubbish he would get attention of Governor Seyi Makinde, then he is greatly mistaken. Few people in Oyo state would care about what he has to say. Majority of Oyo people can see what the governor has been able to achieve in just under three years in office. No one, let alone an internet pseudo-comrade, can rubbish their beloved governor’s scorecard of achievements.
We will school Mr. Adeyanju, as he does not know that Makinde has been able to construct over 100 kilometers of roads in the state. He does not know that the hitherto intractable issues bedevilling the Ladoke Akintola University, whereby students stayed at home for close to 20 months have been resolved by the governor. He also does not know that over 300 hospitals and health care centers have been built or renovated across the state. In the area of security, Adeyanju did not know that over 100 vehicles and security gadgets were purchased for security agencies in the state. Mr Adeyanju a.k.a “I too Know” is not aware that free education obtains in Oyo state. But then, how would a paid agent of destabilization know that Oyo state is among the few states in the country that has paid her UBEC counterpart funds ? There’s the ” Light up Oyo” project; if Adeyanju did not notice how this has opened up the night economy, then the man is blind both figuratively and physically! Would he know that Oyo state pensioners and workers are pleased with the governor ? He wouldn’t know of course.
Perhaps we should take a look at who the Deji Adeyanju fellow is. Exactly what does he do for a living ? He claims to be a lawyer, when was the last time he defended anyone in court, he should tell us how he earns a living, How has he impacted humanity positively ? He claims to be a comrade and an activist, but he is more of a “Cashtivist” open to the highest bidder, and we ask what sort of comrade is he ? He’s obviously one that goes about attacking high profile people with the hope that crumbs will be thrown his way Perhaps, he has been paid by Makinde’s political opponents to malign him. Whatever the case might be, I am sure by the reaction that he has gotten thus far from residents of the state, he would have realized that he has made a blunder by attacking the governor.
I am sure it is obvious to him, by now, that his poorly-fed dog is barking up the wrong tree. The truth is that Deji Adeyanju is a classical example of the “Lazy Youth” that the president, Muhammadu Buhari, was referring to in that infamous interview. An inconsequential entity seeking relevance by heckling persons way ahead of him.
One can hazard a guess as to why Adeyanju is towing this perfidious path. It is apparent that he was recruited by the opposition to throw shades at the people’s governor, hiding under the guise of altruism.
I will counsel Mr Adeyanju to get a proper job, and make his mother proud. He is fast taking a wrong turn and is now close to the precipice.
Mr. Adeyanju is a political mercenary and a ” Cashtivist” who should never be taken seriously.
