DAPO ABIODUN 2019 ELECTION WAS GOD’s OWN PROJECT
I once wrote a short piece on this platform that: He who lives in glass house should not throw stone.
My attention has been drawn to the Daily Trust publication on the interview granted by the former Governor of Ogun State who l believe must have been misquoted that Prince Dr. Dapo Abiodun was rigged by certain people into office in 2019.
He was quoted to have said that those behind the illicit act have apologised to him.
This statement coming from an ex governor who finds no space in his heart to let go the project wholly perfected by God seems to be embittered with himself and his dismembered deceitful political family.
I had the privilege of partaking in the political activities of the immediate past Governor from 2007 up to the time he was eventually elected in 2011.
If there is any camp that had involved itself in any manipulation of the highest order towards power grabbing at the state level then, Amosun’s camp was the highest culprit.
What transpired in that camp throughout the election petition process up to Court of Appeal still remain fresh in the memory of those who played active roles then of which l was part of the inner Caucasus.
The truth about election of Prince Dapo Abiodun (PDA) was that it was God’s ordained project that no lesser self acclaimed god can stop.
PDA went through the thick and thin of political opposition within the ruling party led by SIA that culminated into the shameful act of disgracing the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria whose entourage were decorated with pure water and stones all in the name of creating fake impression that they were in control.
February, 2019 will never be forgotten so soon in the history of Ogun State. The election proper came, PDA floored APM even with all the resources and power of the ruling Governor who only God knows how many billions went into the project!
PDA was like the David of the olden days who defeated Goliath. Alas, everything ended up at Election Petition Tribunal and the rest is history today.
The usual tactics deployed at the tribunal to upturn the God’s Own project of PDA was brought into fore and that included falsification of substantial numbers of results in various polling booths across the state all aimed at upturning the election of PDA fell like pack of cards.
I can categorically state here that the political game of any man made god proving to be the power broker of Ogun State has since been laid to rest and may the Lord rest their political souls.
It is my candid advice to day dreamers hoping to team up against the re-election of PDA come March 2023 to think twice because God’s own project is still very much at work in Ogun State.
No weapon fashioned against PDA and APC in Ogun State shall prosper. No amount of merger or absorption of light weight political desperados shall overrun the God’s ordained project of PDA.
The earlier the better lesser god retire from political space of Ogun State to avert political oblivion. A word is enough for the wise.
