Eyes-Open: A Legislative Deficit


Alimosho has never been this unfortunate. Taking away 8 political years from the life of a constituency is not a good tide - we have never had it so bad. Alimosho House of Representative member, Hon. Olufemi Adebanjo who was pushed to Abuja in 2015 by the Alimosho Hawks against the interest of the people and the party, has displayed his much-expected non-challenge, ineptitude, and unimaginable absence of the knowledge of the legislative duties. Olufemi Adebanjo has not disappointed some of us - we predicted it, and it is working exactly as predicted. 


Olufemi was once a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly and later became the chairman of the Alimosho Local Government. During that period, he displayed gross incompetence that the party leadership at that time complained bitterly about and got him replaced. Moreso, as the head of Alimosho Local Government, he was so engrossed romancing the late NURTW State Chairman, Alhaji Saka Saula to the extent that he used the late Saula to warehouse most of the council funds.  


Little wonder; he dribbled us to force Hon. Ahmed Obadina as a councilor and subsequently the leader of the House in Alimosho Local Government as compensation for the illicit funds the house leader's late father kept for him.


Adebanjo is a known drug addict and a serial gambler.
Hon. Olufemi Adebanjo, an inefficient legislator and chronic gambler

A question that begs for an answer is; why bring this character to governance? This same person bragged before some youth who visited him years back that it is not the youth performance that put him but the efficacy of his juju.


One can only imagine how such a statement could come from a person entrusted to the largest constituency in Nigeria.


This month made it his sixth year in Abuja, yet Adebanjo cannot point to a single bill he has initiated, or a motion to support any bill. Adebanjo is a benchwarmer in the NASS. He was quoted to have said that, he had paid his dues to the leadership of Alimosho, and that he had no responsibility to other party faithful and constituents.


In his 6 years in Abuja, Adebanjo has upgraded himself by building 2 exotic houses in Asokoro in Abuja, owning several vehicles both in Lagos and Abuja. This randy Honourable sent his wife of several years packing only for him to resort to taking in a wife of a far younger fellow struggling to survive at the Ikeja Computer Village.


We need to ask this man to stand up to his responsibility as his presence in the NASS is largely a deficit to Alimosho Federal Constituency and its residents though some people have argued that the serial gambler, a drug addict cannot do better.

Enilolobo; Captain Of A Sinking Ship

Enilolobo: Captain Of A Sinking Ship The attention of Alimosho Liberation Movement has been drawn to a nefarious publication from Alhaji Abdullahi Oluwole Enilolobo, a confessed liar, a rancourous element, a bitter and resentful noisemaker, comparing himself with the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly. This time, their infantile and unwarranted attacks were targeted at the persons of the Speaker, Lagos House of Assembly Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, a lawyer, a foremost lawmaker, former Chairman of the Conference of Speakers in Nigeria among other enviable titles, for his lovers but intimidating to his foes, and Alhaji Abiodun Isola Ejigbadero, a scion of Ejigbadero dynasty, a realtor, a property Magnate and a loyal party man. Their latest swipe again, demonstrated an acute obsession with the propagation of falsehood, lies and alternative facts to get public attention and sympathy for Enilolobo's political doom. This political terrorist thinks he is somebody when he con...

Where Are the Promised Votes? - Ejigbadero

  Where Are the Promised Votes? - Ejigbadero Reactions have continued to trail the ongoing collation exercise of presidential results in the just concluded general elections in Abuja, after seeing the tension and turn of events in the just concluded general elections.  While the development has sparked jubilation in some quarters, it has called for questioning in others - both parties and non-party members have expressed mixed concerns. With the current happenings, Lagos State appears to be one of the most hit states, alongside Osun, Gombe, Yobe, Katsina, Imo, and a host of others which are currently APC states but have lost to the PDP and the Labour Party. In the current scheme of events, Alimosho Local Government, which used to be described as Tinubu Country was also lost to the Labour Party, which polled over 57,000 votes against the All Progressives Congress which polled a bit over 52,000. According to a party chieftain, Alhaji Abiodun Ejigbadero, "this outcome of the pres...

Trip To Ibadan: Enilolobo, Council Chairmen Plot To Break Party, Remodel BATCO Mandate

Trip To Ibadan: Enilolobo, Council Chairmen Plot To Break Party, Remodel BATCO Mandate In our expectation for an issue-based defense, we repeatedly read the empty article proudly put up and signed by one Opeyemi Babatunde in defense of the shameful trip being sponsored by his principal, Hon. Sulaiman Jelili to and fro Ibadan in support of the Vice President's presidential ambition under the guise of a Progressive Youth Summit. It is disappointing that even after reading about five times, we still could not make a tangible point from the tripe. The above got us wondering if the entire hogwash was truly worth the 15 hours it took Opeyemi and his colleagues to come up with a response to our disclosure on their trip to Ibadan. While we maintain our stand that, like every other Nigerian, they have the sole right to support whoever they desire to follow, we would also want to advise them on the need to shun hypocrisy and double-dealing which we understand to be a ...
