I sincerely hope that the good people of Oyo State remain vigilant, politically conscious, and discerning enough to recognise the underlying motives and political calculations ahead of the forthcoming elections.
What we are beginning to witness within the APC appears to be more than an ordinary political alliance or a genuine effort to provide an alternative direction for the state.
It raises serious questions about the intentions of certain political actors who seem to be coming together, not necessarily out of a shared commitment to the welfare and development of Oyo State, but perhaps out of a collective interest in gaining access to political power, influence, and the enormous resources of the state.
History has repeatedly shown us that whenever politicians with questionable political interests suddenly unite under the same umbrella, the first thing the electorate should do is look beyond the public declarations, political celebrations, and carefully crafted narratives. Political alliances should be judged by their intentions, track records, consistency, and, most importantly, their commitment to the people.
The masses must never become casualties of political negotiations designed primarily to serve the ambitions of a privileged few.
For me, seeing Segun Ogunwuyi’s declaration yesterday, particularly considering the opportunities, privileges, and benefits he enjoyed under the previous administration, raises legitimate questions about political loyalty, consistency, and the actual motivation behind these emerging alignments.
It further reinforces the need for the people to critically examine the interests being pursued and ask a very important question: Is this really about Oyo State and its people, or is it simply about individual and collective political ambitions?
Oyo State belongs to its people, not to a political party, a group of political elites, or a collection of individuals seeking to secure their personal interests through public office.
The people must not allow themselves to be distracted by political propaganda or manipulated by alliances that may have little or nothing to offer beyond the ambitions of their architects.
As we approach another electoral season, I urge the good people of Oyo State to remain watchful, informed, and guided by their long-term interests. Our collective future is far too important to be surrendered to political opportunism.
Oyo State must come first. The interest of the people must always come before the ambitions of politicians.
COACHY ..…..
God bless Oyo State. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
