S’west politics: Mimiko, Oyinlola, Fayose in secret talks

From BAMIGBOLA GBOLAGUNTE, Osogbo

Ondo State Governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko and two former governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti and Osun states, Mr Ayodele Fayose and Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola respectively held a private meeting at the weekend at the Okuku home of Oyinlola. Although details of the meeting were not made public as journalists were barred from Oyinlola’s living room in his private residence in Okuku, venue of the meeting, it was gathered that the meeting, which was at the instance of Oyinlola might not be unconnected with politics of the South- West states.

While Fayose was removed from office in 2006, Oyinlola was removed as the governor of Osun State following a judgment of the Court of Appeal, Ibadan, which nullified the election that produced him and declared Aregbesola winner of the election. Both Oyinlola, Fayose and Mimiko met at the weekend alongside other top politicians in the South-West geo-political zone after the launch of Oba Moses Oyinlola Foundation in Okuku, hometown of Oyinlola. The foundation was founded by Oyinlola in honour of his late father, Oba Moses Oyinlola, who was a former traditional ruler of the town.

Other politicians, who attended the meeting were, Dr Olu Agunloye, a former governorship aspirant in Ondo State on the platform of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Navy Captain Caleb Olubolade, Minister of Police Affairs, Mr Jide Adeniji, the Chairman, Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA), Chief Adejare Bello, immediate past speaker, Osun State House of Assembly.

Also at the meeting were the Minister of State for Defence, Mrs Olushola Obada, former Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Fatai Akinbade, Osun State chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Ganiyu Olaoluwa, among others. Describing his late father as an epitome of humility and lover of his people, Oyinlola said his family decided to lay the foundation for the continuity of the good legacy left behind by his father who died 52 years ago.

“Let me tell you, the late Oba Moses Oyewole Oyinlola was committed to the service of humanity, cause of education and development of his community and we felt that, even when he passed on, we would not want the legacy of the man to perish and the only way we can do that is to embark on the launch of a foundation in his honour and that will become a reference point for generation yet unborn, even when we too might have gone,” he added.

Oyinlola, who is the National Secretary of the PDP, urged Nigerians to support the review of the 1999 Constitution, stressing that “what should be paramount to the people on the constitution was to allow its provision to work irrespective of political differences.”

    Is Mimiko looking for a new romance? He should know that Labour party will definitely end when he finishes his second term in office. The truth of the matter is that people voted for him, and not the party so as soon as his tenure ends, RIP to Labour Party in Ondo State. But in his bid to be a ‘god father’ in the west, he should mind the type of people he associate himself with as most of the people listed above are nothing but rogues.
    Whatever be the case, i see him becoming extinct even before the end of his term as he will not be able to withstand the heat from the hands he bit, I mean he himself is a traitor and trust Law of Karma!!! His lease is near end!!!

    This is a waste of effort by these wayo men who stole our money. Yoruba can’t afford to return to failure again.
    PDP of Oyinlola is a failure. Mimiko’s LP is a jibiti party that will end with his tenure.

    These old cargos should go and rest, what next do they want to proove? You hae all been given opportunities to write your names in gold but you all failed. Oyiniola and co should allow their kids to decide their future. You have less time left for you, better correct your ways while going hope to meet your creator.

    I do not see anything wrong in their meeting. Mimiko was a strong member of PDP before joining Labor Party. If Fayose is still interested in the Governors house in Ekiti, his first romance should be to the Elders he insulted like the Ewi of Ado Ekiti. Once he is forgiven I can assure you that he has a better chance of coming back. As for Oyinlola. God has made him and he also can be a godfather. I look at politics in Osun State as very interesting. The next governor may come from a Senatorial area that did not produce the past Governor. like Iwo or Ede areas backed by the Osogbo areas; if not they will have to welcome Aregbesola back. Mimiko’s presence is now very strategic because whether you like it or not he will pay back Aregbesola what he did to him in Ondo. To me as far as they are doing it neatly without people loosing their lives or causing untold hardship to the citizens they are free to canvass for votes and we have the right to cast our votes according to how we access their performances in office.
    There is no party ideology in Nigeria but individual interests and looting venturing.

    @Segun Owolabi, you are right to your opinion but you missed the point.
    We should not celebrate people of questionable characters like Oyinlola, Fayose and others at Okuku’s home of Oyinlola because it’s said that the ablution being performed by CAT is a disguise to steal MEAT, all the former PDP governors in South West States from 1999 till the time they were swept away did not leave any legacy in terms of development of infrastructures and growth of economy in their respective states that would warrant them to gang up again for another round of looting of treasuries.
    We are politically wiser in the South West, so any of these incumbent ACN governors who do not perform well will be voted out of power in 2015 but PDP can never present better Candidates that would win the hearts of South West citizens because of their brazen corruption in all spheres.
    Mimiko, please look well before you leap and note, make sure you get long spoon before you venture to dine with DEVILS,

    This South West people make me laugh with how they deceive themselves. They talk in d public especially d social media as if they are united, as if they speak with one voice but the reality is that they are not united and cannot be united, so why d deceit.
