My people, you don hear wetin Ayoade Adeseun talk? This former senator wey dey represent Oyo Central don shout am for everybody wey fit hear say we need military base for Ogbomoso. E talk am during one interview wey e get with The PUNCH for Surulere, Oyo state.
Adeseun no gree keep quiet as e dey yarn about the security wahala wey dey Ogbomoso. E talk say the area no suppose dey without military presence, especially as the fear of bandits dey increase wey dey terrorize our people. Just days ago, dem carry plan land for Old Oyo National Park, and na five park officers wey dem kill, plus other farmers wey dem no gree leave ground.
Ogbomoso plenty history and military officers wey don shine for this place, but na wetin Adeseun dey yan we go look into. E talk say many boys from Ogbomoso dey for military, Air Force, Navy and Army. Dem get big names wey everybody sabi, like Brig Gen Benjamin Adekunle wey we no fit forget, and Col Adeniyan wey just waka go other side small time.
Na why im dey vex say Ogbomoso no get military base, despite say many pipo wey don serve for military come from there. E dey reason am well well, say if anything happen, how dem go take carry soldiers from Ibadan or Saki? Na wah, because from Saki to Ogbomoso na like three hours drive. By the time dem come, wetin you suppose stop don turn wahala. E no go funny!
Adeseun say make dem try set up at least one military outpost wey go fit respond quickly if tension rise. E talk say even if na small military presence, we need to dey ready. The nearest military formation dey for Ilorin, but na educational command—no be combat troops wey we dey find.
As Ogbomoso dey close to international border, e carry come another issue. People dey migrate anyhow and na so wahala fit start. We no sabi the kind pipo wey go show for our side tomorrow, we gatz prepare! E don see the killings for Ikoyi-Ile, wetin dey happen for Oloka village, and e talk say we gatz dey proactive instead of waiting for wahala to don happen before dem go send soldiers.
Adeseun no fit rest, e dey beg the Federal Government say make dem take action sharp-sharp. E fit get land wey dem go use set up military presence. Time no dey wait for anybody o!
