“Hypocrisy, they say, is the audacity to preach integrity from the den of corruption. It is also the ability to profess loyalty to a political cause while flirting with the camp of an arch-enemy.”

The above statements are self-evidently true of the hypocritical character and behaviour of the chairperson of Ikosi/Isheri LCDA Princess Samiat Bada. She, in recent times has been nightmarishly obsessed with the political activities of the distinguished lawmaker representing the good people of Kosofe Federal Constituency, Hon. (Prince) Rotimi. Agunsoye.
Her traumatic obsession with the excellent performance of Hon. Agunsoye had led to her recent flatulent outburst of inanities and nonsensical drivel.
In sheer audacious hypocrisy, the former “Paraga retailer” despicably accused óur distinguished lawmaker of engaging in anti-party activities for allowing a former councillor in Ikosi/Isheri LCDA, Hon. Moruf Adeshina to contest under the banner of SDP.
This allegation to me is baseless, nonsensical and inconsequential. I challenge her to come up with pictorial, audio or video evidence to substantiate her claims that ROT is the sponsor of Morruff Adeshina or keep quiet forever.
Hon. Morruff Adeshina, just like Kakaraka, Sade Akinpelu, and Mrs. Martins, took a political decision he deemed favourable to him. Morruff, unlike others who deserted Hon. Agunsoye for flimsy political interests, decided to test his popularity in another party of his own volition. And ROT cannot be blamed for this. Morruff Adeshina is not a neophyte in the political terrain of Ikosi-Isheri LCDA and is old enough to decide his fate. If ROT could not stop Kakaraka, Sade Akinpelu and Martins from pursuing their political interests why would he to Adeshina? I also think that Mayoress should have been able to poach on Morruff Adeshina by dangling carrots before him just like she successfully did for other ROT’s deserters.
Again, it baffles me that a woman whose husband, Hon. Tola Banjo the former Deputy Speaker of Ogun state House of Assembly, is a staunch member of PDP in Ogun state and who has been working energetically against the presidential ambition of our candidate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and our party APC could come out brazenly to accuse Hon. Agunsoye of anti-Party activities.
And it will not be out of place for us to deductively state that Mayoress may have been using the resources and money of Ikosi-Isheri LCDA to fund the political activities of her husband in PDP in Ogun state.

And her commitment and loyalty to our Presidential candidate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu are somehow questionable. I have it on good authority that 6 votes against Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu by Lagos delegates at the presidential primary election are traceable to Kosofe. And I agree with it. This is because Mayoress and 2 other delegates that represented Kosofe at the primary election belong to a group headed by a GAC leader who had ordered that all Asiwaju posters that were pasted in front of his house be torn to pieces few days before the election. We have the Video evidence of this and we strongly believe that the delegates actually betrayed our symbol.
Mayoress cannot, therefore, claim to be more catholic than the pope. As a matter of fact, no political office holder in the entire Kosofe Federal Constituency can state boldly that he or she is more committed to the party and loyal to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu than Hon. Rotimi Agunsoye.
Here is a man who has pragmatically galvanized massive support for Asiwaju and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and “Batifies” Kosofe Federal Constituency with his Support Group- TINUBU SUPPORT GROUP ( TSG). And just few days ago, he joined hands with Alhaji Enilolobo to stage a BATCO Mandate solidarity Walk in support of Asiwaju Tinubu and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu. The rally was a huge success with thousands of people on parade. With these instances and many more only an insane and mentally retarded person will say that ROT is working against the party.
TSG, it should be noted is the only existing and active support group with a visible structure in the entire Kosofe Federal Constituency. From our database, the group has about 50,000 members with an average of 10000 members attending ward and LGA meetings biweekly within the three local government councils that make up Kosofe Federal Constituency.
If we take the multiplier effect of this figure into cognizance then the efforts of Hon. Agunsoye overtime will be appreciated. We can confidently beat our chests that with the efforts of ROT, Kosofe is a no-go area for the opposition.
Moreover, he has been able to sustain the confidence of the masses in APC with his impactful empowerment programmes for individuals and facilitated projects for many communities.
Can Mayoress tell us what she has been doing with the local government fund all these years? We know that her administration is a cesspit of corruption and embezzlement and we have enough evidence at our disposal to back it up. We are keenly aware of the stupendous inflation of contracts on some road projects, official vehicles procured and non-remittance of some levies into government coffers among others. Very soon you are going to receive an “August Visitor”! We promised you that, just gird up your loins.
