He Is The Lion Of Bourdillon.....Babajide Otitoju



There has been mix-reactions ever since the Vice President, Yemi Osibajo declared his Presidential ambition. This has been a serious arguement between the Ex Lagos State Governor, Ahmed Tinubu and Yemi Osibajoissue and has stylishly metamorphosed  into a big controversy. 

Amidst all reactions from Nigerians and journalists I found the reaction from Babajide Otitoju interesting which I decide to share here

Babajide Kolade-otitoju  writes: 

On this Jagaban issue, every 4 years people come on social media to yell and castigate the man over his political decisions. There are over 18m people in Lagos, over 1000 politicians yet they cannot unseat him. Is this his fault? Are you expecting him to raise his legs and say "hi guys come and screw me over"? 

He left the AD, formed the AC then ACN, Afenifere, Obasanjo could not unseat him. He lost two deputy governors, Kofo Bucknor, and Femi Pedro to the opposition party, Lost Obanikoro, a man he single-handedly made a senator to PDP, he lost Jimi Agbaje a close ally also to the PDP. 

They tried to unseat him, they failed. Obasanjo and GEJ tried, they didn't succeed. Lagos State had the Minister for Works, Ogunlewe, PDP BOT chairman - Bode George, Minister for Defence - Obanikoro, Olusegun Aganga - Trade and Investment but while these notable men go to bed at night, Jagaban stays awake scheming and planning his next move at Bourdillon, rallying the grassroots and then he comes with either the stick or the carrot. Obanikoro his sworn enemy is back, Pedro is back, Salvador former PDP chairman is back to his camp. 

He did not put a gun to anybody's head to wine and dine with him. Why can't they form an alliance to finish him off? We have a choice not to associate with him, don't we? 

He has successfully built a battalion of loyalists from 1999 till date. From Fashola to the councilor in the smallest ward in Lagos. Fashola, Osinbajo, Fowler, Lai Mohammed, Ben Akabueze, Ojudu, Ade Ipaye, Rauf, Hamzat, GOS, Gbajabiamila, Faleke, Yayi, Ashafa, Opeifa, Tunji Bello, Leke plan, Jide Idris, Dele Alake, Mamora and a whole lot of other young brilliant minds. For every one person he empowered, he got thousands more in return. He identifies the best and uses them to his advantage. 

Can Bode George or Ogunlewe roll out a list comparable to Tinubu's list? Why haven't they been able to create a formidable opposition to kick him out? They had the federal might for 16 years to their advantage. 

To be honest, is he at fault? What do we expect him to do? Crawl under his duvet at Bourdillon or watch African Magic? Why can't other politicians form a consensus? 

He is the Lion of Bourdillon and when he roars, his lionesses and cubs will respond. Unless a stronger pride emerges, he will continue to rule this jungle. It is the law of nature, sentiments don't matter.  He is already scheming for 2023, 4 years ahead of these docile politicians.

Meanwhile, there is still room to challenge him, please go ahead and vote against his Aspiration if you feel aggrieved...
