Osun APC and Sooko's continuous Outbursts, A public nuisance displays of shenanigans.

By Azeez Mao Olakunle Dinho

It is paramount that one should not always expect that the measure of what you lack or have is accurately replicated in others. If you feel that everybody should think or work in your myopic way, insanity is inevitable. That's the case of Osun APC and Mr. Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, the factional chairman of the All Progressive Congress in Osun State.

I was on social media yesterday reading different write ups from the people of Osun State, celebrating the evidence of good governance of Senator Ademola Adeleke in his one year in office. Incidentally, I came across the poorly written scorecard of Osun factional APC led by one Mr. Sooko and signed by Mr. Kola Olabisi describing the administration of His Excellency as the worst ever in the history of Osun State.

This erroneous position reminded me of my undergraduate days when we were taught about love and hate in psychology class. Psychologically, hate belongs to a psychiatric condition. It does not form in people except when they first lose their natural mind like in the case of Osun APC, at which point they start seeing the other person as another person or something productive in darkness.

This is exactly the psychological condition of a madman. A Madman does not want to live comfortably amongst people and enjoys picking dirt from anywhere and bring same to the house because he sees things in a different world as if those things and people are in the dark.

In the same way, when people hate or see things in ugly manners, they fall into darkness, their minds begin to pick things that are discomfiting to the natural state of their hearts into the house of their minds, the psychological weight of their minds shift suddenly and double itself to the contrary. Aggressiveness, bitterness, strive are always the outcomes of their state of mind because the person is no longer normal for a moment.

Osun APC is not disappointing though, there's a Yoruba adage that says "𝑨̀𝒈𝒖̀𝒏𝒕𝒂̀𝒏 𝒕𝒊́ 𝒂𝒈𝒃𝒂 𝑶𝒎𝒐 𝒍'𝒆́𝒚𝒊̀𝒏 𝒓𝒆̀ 𝑲𝒐̀𝒏𝒊́𝒊́𝒅𝒂́𝒌𝒆́ 𝑨𝒓𝒊𝒘𝒐 𝒍𝒂́𝒚𝒆́𝒍𝒂́𝒚𝒆́" the mind of Sooko Tajudeen and his cohorts already become more than what they could hold per thought, that's the rationale behind their continuous nuisance display of shenanigans.

I don't want to fault Sooko completely, but the APC members who knew he was not competent, yet handed over the script to him. Sooko is only walking with a chain on his leg, had it been he gone through the poorly written scorecard presented to him, he wouldn't have started to fight within which outwardly reveals his ignorance against Senator Ademola Adeleke and the PDP administration in the state.

I appreciate the fact that Osun APC admitted their failure in the area of Workers' and pensioners' welfare by pointing out Governor Adeleke's inability to clear the backlog of 30 months salaries owed by their administration within his 100 days in office as promised, they only failed to acknowledge the fact that, four out of these backlogs has been paid by Adeleke's administration in his 1 year of office and he maintains his promise to clear it as long as he remains the Governor of State. If the last administration led by Governor Oyetola were like Governor Adeleke, 20 out of the backlogs would have been cleared by now, but the lives of Osun workers were not important to them, that's why Governor Adeleke began afresh.

Since the day APC became a rejected vessel in Osun State, Sooko Tajudeen and his deserted members have been living in darkness, they walk in darkness and are blinded by darkness. Aside from the fact that Sooko is a hater of good governance, personally, he is a pernicious liar. Osun masses who voted against APC at all levels knew the party was built on a wrong foundation of lies, malicious propaganda, and desperation, a party of strange bad fellows.

Apart from being the resident slave to the minority opposition members in the state, Sooko's achievement ever since he accepted his unglorified assignment is to accuse the PDP and Governor Ademola Adeleke, forgetting their failed twelve years of maladministration in the state where pensioners were living in abject deprivation, where the civil servants can no longer eat twice in a day as a result of modulated salary, where Education sector in the state was rated 35 out of 36 States in the country, where major roads were in the state of comatose with poor health sector and facilities.

Building a smart, prosperous Osun state for all has become the vision of Senator Nurudeen Ademola Adeleke, as the journey to build Osun state of our dreams becomes intensified. Before the end of this administration, Osun will become a top destination for individuals, who wish to practically learn about good governance. Sooko should stop living in the past. This is not the APC administration where your tin god shares a larger percentage of the state treasury.

Senator Ademola Adeleke has the foresight and he has resolved to invest in new ideas that will revolutionize Osun state, leaving a footprint that the generations that are coming behind will be proud of. APC should bury their heads in shame, our David is now on the throne.
