Oyinlola Lacks Honour – Rights Activists

Embattled Osun State Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola has drawn the irk of civil societies over his infantile curses both in Ekiti State and on the church altar, against himself and the opposition members, as touching his secret meeting with Ekiti State local government council chairmen, where he reportedly pledged to supply fake army uniforms, arms and ammunitions to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) thugs to prosecute the controversial rerun governorship election in the state (Ekiti).
The coalition of the civil societies unanimously described the embattled state helmsman as a man without honour, saying that his attitude on the campaign podium during Igede-Ekiti PDP rally, has exposed him (Oyinlola) as a drunken sailor, who should not steer the ship of a state like Osun.
In an interview with the leadership of United Action for Democracy (UAD), Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders (CACOL), Peoples Welfare League and Democratic Socialist Movement (DSM), Comrades Abiodun Aremu, Debo Adeniran, Segun Sango and Abiodun Agboola respectively, Oyinlola was taken to the cleaners for reducing governance to infantile jobs, against the spirit of providing dividends of democracy in the state.
It would be recalled that the embattled governor was caught red-handed on a tape, while promising the Ekiti council bosses to supply fake military fatigues, arms, ammunition and thugs, that would unleash terror on the supporters of Action Congress (AC) in the state, when he (Oyinlola) further charged the chairmen to make money available to the thugs during the rerun governorship poll in Ekiti State.
Findings revealed that the obviously rattled Oyinlola lost his cool during his second appearance at a rally in Ekiti State, where he was billed to drum support for the ousted governor, Mr. Segun Oni; when he started cursing himself and the AC chairman in the state, Chief Olajide Awe on the allegation.
Oyinlola was quoted to have invited the wrath of all the curses in the Bible on the guilty one, between himself and Awe; simultaneously praying the god of thunder, to unleash his terror on himself, if he ever presided over a meeting with the council bosses on the said allegation.
One of our reporters, who attended a gospel church situated along Ring road, Osogbo, Osun State capital, penultimate Sunday witnessed how the rattled Okuku-born politician repeated the curses while on the church altar, with a view to proving his innocence.
However, like a drunkard, facing the reality on the following morning, the troubled Osun State chief executive went on air last week Saturday, during his monthly self-praising programme on the state-owned broadcasting stations, called OPEN FORUM, and started expressing his regret over the outburst.
In his reaction, the National Convener of the UAD, stated that Oyinlola has demonstrated enough traits that showed him as a man without honour, whose stock-in-trade were lies, frame-up, deception and violence, saying that he (Oyinlola) should not be taken seriously.
“I think the governor is a sleep-walker who should not be taken seriously for anything, because lies, frame-up of opponents, deception and violence are his stocks-in-trade. His infantile curses in Ekiti State, which was beamed live on the national television, has shown him as a mere drunk”, Aremu submitted.
Speaking on the development, the National Coordinator of CACOL, spanked Oyinlola for settling an obvious issue with supernatural solution, only to regret it later, noting that Oyinlola is a hypocrite of the highest order.
“Governor Oyinlola is a hypocrite, who sings during the winter, only to change tune during the summer. I watched him cursing himself in Ekiti State, and I sympathize with my people in Osun State, for having a little mind as a governor. Now that he has started regretting it, it speaks volume of a man without honour,” Adeniran asserted.
A Chieftain of DSM, Comrade Segun Sango came hard on the governor, describing him as anti-democratic opportunist, who should bury his head in shame for raising his voice in democracy, when he laboured hard to kill the same concept, which was fought for by scores of human rights activists.
Sango said Oyinlola’s overzealousness on Ekiti State rerun governorship election was more than party loyalty, asking him to open up on the under-hand deals he had with the ousted Ekiti governor.
“As a matter of fact, Oyinlola is an anti-democratic opportunist, who is shameless by raising his head in democracy, when it was obvious that he was amongst the military men that wanted to kill democracy. So, let him continue cursing himself,” Sango raged.
In his reaction, National Coordinator, People Welfare League (PWL), expressed his sympathy for the governor on his infantile attitude, saying that if an adult is found in a game meant for the child, he deserves pity.
“Governor Oyinlola is a paragon of shame, for throwing curses around on issues he could have settled with facts behind the figure. He has won my sympathy and I honestly pity him,” Agboola said.
