Stop lying, you’re foreigner in Ogun West, says PDP candidate Obanibasiri to Adeola

Ganiyu Dada Obanibasiri, a senatorial candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun West, has referred to the incumbent All Progressives Congress (APC) as a “foreigner” in the region.

Adeola, according to Obanibasiri, “does not comprehend the suffering and marginalization Yewa/Awori people have experienced since Ogun State was established in 1976.

Speaking to supporters in Ipokia Local Government, the PDP senatorial candidate insisted that Adeola, the incumbent senator representing Lagos West, did not comprehend the struggles of the residents of Ogun West and that “he has only come around to lie to the people and deceive them” into voting for him.
“He (Adeola) lies too much. He said he would reopen Idiroko land border. We should ask him why he is yet to open Seme border which is under his constituency at the moment, his mouth is full of lies,” Obanibasiri stated.

The candidate expressed surprise that Adeola, who in September 2019 on the Nigerian Senate floor backed President Muhammadu Buhari’s decision to close the borders, is now advocating for doing so.

The Ota chief emphasized that Adeola, also known as Yayi, was once a novice and asked him to stop bragging about his position as a ranking Senator.

“He said he is a ranking Senator, he has forgotten that people like Senator Olabimtan, Senator Iyabo Anisulowo, Senator Kola Bajomo, Senator Akin Odunsi, Senator Gbolahan Dada, and Senator Tolu Odebiyi were all first term senators and they brought developments to our land that are still visible today,” he said.
Obanibasiri spoke further: “Yayi’s penchant for lies is unprecedented in the history of Ogun State. He went on to lie that the other parties said they will only campaign in just two local governments. We should ask him where he and the PDP met to discuss that.

“In the calendar of the other political parties including the PDP, it is clearly stated that all the parties would be campaigning in all the local governments of the zone. We should be wary of aliens that are here to create discord in our community.
“He also pledged to construct a bridge linking Ipokia and Badagry. This is the same lie he told the Badagry people in 2014 when he was running for their Senate seat; he has just sharpened his lying tongue to use it on the Ogun West people.

“Adeola falsely accused Hon. Adekunle Akinlade of betraying his trust by doing so because he backed Hon. Ladi Adebutu. In spite of having a shared commitment with Gboyega Isiaka to back a Yewa candidate for governor in 2019, one should also inquire as to why Yayi backed Ogun East against two of his purported Yewa brothers in 2019. He is obviously self-centered and only wants to reap his own rewards.
