A TALE OF TWO BROTHERS AND A FATHER
Politics is a game of influence, conviction and loyalty
We can't take away the fact that Agege remains one of the key and populous local governments in Lagos.
Demographically, Agege Local Government is the closest to the Lagos State seat of power, it is also the ancient gateway out of Lagos State.
For a fact, Agege is one of the most important Local Governments in Lagos.
Since the beginning of our days in this country, Agege has consistently delivered to its Political mantra, from the days of AD, AC, ACN and APC.
There has been one man who has led the war from 1999 till date and that's Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa
Rising through the ranks, Mudashiru Obasa eventually assumed the office of the speaker of the most populous black city in Africa.
With great Influence, Agege had seen a bit of development, at least he influenced the construction of the Agege flyover which facelifted the enter Oke koto, Agege total, pen cinema (Oba Ogunji Rd) to the tip of Agege LSDPC Estate. That single project cured the sickness of thieves and miscreants.
With his influence, he brought one of the most dogged youths, politically and physically to lead the people of Agege.
It was through his influence Oluwagbenga Abiola Omaco became the youngest Local Government administrator during the tenure of Fr. Governor Akinwunmi Ambode. That was gracious in its magnanimity.
It was through his influence Alhaji Ganiyu Kola Egunjobi (JP) contested and became the Agege Local Government Chairman.
During Egunjobi's Second tenure, Gbenga became the Deputy Chairman.
Personally, Egunjobi is an Egbon to me while Gbenga is a friend.
The most distant to me is their Oga (Obasa)
Now, you see that this is a family affair ?
My plea is for Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa to call both parties to a round table and settle whatever that is wrong.
Remember, as an Agege breed, outsiders don't settle our differences,we fight, we end it within our various houses having in mind that WE ARE BROTHERS!
My message to Gbenga is that, if you had employed outsiders to mess up your own brothers, remember, brothers will be brothers and when it's time to have that serious conversation,outsiders will be locked out! TELL THEM TO STOP!
My message to bloggers (actually the two of them, I will not tag them out of respect but they will see this message)
My message to the two of you is that, we are brothers with staunch political knowledge, this will end and it will be settled but when the dust settles......what is your fate ?
Politics is very dicey, the impossible will suddenly become a reality.....
