Na rare conference of strange bedfellows no be something wey we dey see every day. But dis one wey happen for Abeokuta, for di house of Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo, na im don shake di political ground.
Di only man wey dey odd out na former Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi. Oda people wey dey dia get one or two tins wey dey common. But according to suggestion, dem dey up in arms against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu wey dey seek re-election next year. That one na im be di main connection.
Fayemi na progressive for Ekiti. For now, nobody fit actually say where he belong as far as 2027 election dey concern at national level. He don attack di ruling party ceaselessly and repudiate im internal process, saying say im fall below democratic standard.
Im friend, Rotimi Amaechi, don talk say dem hold di copyright for di document and oda tins wey produce coalition, di African Democratic Congress (ADC) wey former Vice President Atiku Abubakar dey contest for president on im platform. Rebuttal of di hard facts absolutely difficult. But di coalition neva see light of day.
Di host, Ebora Owu, Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo, know where he dey go. After he don attack President Tinubu and ADC presidential candidate Atiku, he dey for im choice and preference, Peter Obi of di Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC). OBJ dey on di way to Akwa. He fit pass through Onitsha, where many people, including members of di royal, dey hold am for esteem.
According to military tradition, Prince Olaginsoye Oyinlola, a General, dey loyal to di senior General. He don be OBJ boy for di People’s Democratic Party (PDP), wey Seyi Makinde dey governor of Oyo State on im platform. Di same party produce am as governor. But di stolen mandate be retrieved from am during second term. He na beneficiary and casualty of Iwu tactics.
Makinde look like political orphan, and OBJ dey available, since oda PDP elements don abandon am after he stray enter Allied People’s Movement (APM).
Wetin be dia mission for Abeokuta? Wetin dem dey do for di house of Balogun Owu and Ekerin Egba? Di principal and principality na factor for Nigerian politics? OBJ dey woo JFK, wey be All Progressives Congress (APC) for Ekiti State, to cross over, since Ekiti governorship poll don finish? Na mere social visit? Coincidence? Plot wey leak? Or all of di above?
