pure mischief took over the airwaves and naysayers shouted themselves hoarse, railing against the people’s governor. Their conscience captured by the rustle of naira notes, they called him every ugly name under the sun, from fraudster to ex-convict. The desperation was dramatic: they dug up old photographs and superimposed letters on them to create a false narrative.
The dramatis personae included Adebutu, the major opposition candidate accused of making a visa/ATM-like card into which the sum of N10,000 had been programmed for vote buying. It was distributed across polling units. With your code, N10,000 entered into your account. Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency and men of the Nigeria Police busted some of these criminals.
Yet most painful and perfidious was the alleged role of the Ogun East senator-elect, Gbenga Daniel. OGD, as he is fondly called, came into the APC shortly after President Muhammadu Buhari won the 2019 election. He had played a key role in former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s failed bid. Indeed he was the South-West coordinator of the Atiku campaign. He promised to give support to Dapo Abiodun, the APC gubernatorial candidate. Abiodun won the election and he exulted in the win.
Strangely, however, no sooner had Daniel won election on the ticket than his handlers went to town painting the governor black and saying that the senator-elect could not work with him. Few days to the election, they launched acerbic attacks on the governor, accusing him of not paying salaries and pensions and of inflating the cost of contracts. It was all lies, but the Steve Oliyides of this world did not care. There were even stories of nocturnal meetings with Adebutu, the PDP candidate.
