As the Romans said many years ago: Potestas in populo. (Sovereign lies in the people).
In the forthcoming election, the people of Owo will validate that principle by deciding their own fate. Let it be on the record so that ye may read: Senator Ipinshagba money will be put to shame and APC stakeholders oligarchy will be checkmate in Owo local government area. Thus, the fate of Owo will be decided by the electorate at the ballot, not by belly first Leaders.
In the recently concluded kangaroo primaries, you refused to declare your vote tally, neither did you transmit your vote to the collation center sitted in Owo Local Government Area.
“Res ipsa loquitur” (The facts speak for themselves). Apologies to Justice Pollock This action shows, ipso facto that you have lost your control on Ondo North politics, and that you now stand nudus et inermis, politically naked and defenseless and laid bare before the people
Permit me to refresh your memory. Long before you kangarooly received the mandate you’re holding right now, you contested for the Senate and were categorically rejected. It took continuous plea and the benevolence of our late leader, Governor Akeredolu, for you to be endorsed. Even when the primaries refuted you, the ticket was finagled on you through cunny means.
With such an unmerited privilege delivered to you on a platter of gold, one expected purposeful leadership. Rather, what we have witnessed and experienced is abysmal. You have transformed into a ravenous consumer of our commonwealth and a rapacious looter of the national treasury. It is so shameful.
Since the inception of your administration, Ondo North citizens has been politically shortchanged and economically neglected.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has released massive resources to drive development at the grassroots. Several senators have extended this gesture. You, Jide Ipinshagba, have not.
Constituency allocation has now expanded to ₦2 billion naira. How have you been able to utilize this resources?
“Quo vadis, Jide Ipinshagba? Aside sponsoring unrealistic bills in the red hallow chamber, there is no sign of your representation in Ondo North.
Today, you’re running Helter skelter, looking for stakeholders to buy as usual and retain your seat. Hahahaha, Ipinshagba, you’re a failure! Across the nooks and crannies of Akoko Southwest, your failure is obvious to the people, Ose local government is left behind in the scheme of things, and In Owo local government area, the epicenter of progressive, the people experience the political shortchanged. Thus, the people are ready to vote you out happily.
Senator Pastor Jide Ipinshagba, I demand that you cite evidence of any finalized project in Owo Local Government, the factory in Ose Local Government, your empowerment schemes in Akoko South-West and Akoko North-West, and any magnanimous intervention that has directly impacted the lives of the people of Ondo North Senatorial District.
When tyranny becomes a law, rebellion becomes duty Apologies to Thomas Jefferson
The people are politically conscious, they are no longer illiterate, and the people have now taken a new route, your defeat will be the loudest victory across the nooks and crannies of Owo local government, and Ondo North by extension.
Une seule voix, un seul destin (one voice, one destiny).
Your political decline is looming, and it will not be solitary. Others who belong to your political school of thought and ideology will equally experience and witness a similar downfall.
Therefore, I implore you to stop spending unnecessarily, for you may need it in your old age, provided the efcc didn’t confiscate them beforehand.
Your political ostentation and empty rhetoric will hold no sway this time. The people of Ondo North have endured more than enough political jogbo jogbo. What we demand now is peace and purposeful representation.
