Oyo Guber Race Seyi Makinde is OK

Flash Back a bit!!. In year 2003 during former Late Governor Lam Adesina's government and build up to his 2nd term bid. He was quoted and reported in one of his campaigns to have said that the votes of workers are too infinitesimal and negligible "Perete" to influence the outcome of his re-election in Oyo State. Perhaps Lam was carried away by the large crowd at the campaign ground or rather too impressive by it to have said such a statement. Workers held that against him and resolved to unseat him. Workers joined forces with former Governor Rasidi Ladoja in PDP and voted for his emergence. That was the origin of that song, "Awa osise perete lagbe Ladoja wole o". Meaning negligible workers brought Ladoja to power. Since that time no Governor ever dared or took workers for granted again. Unfortunately workers were divided during former Late Governor Ajimobi and he had his ways for 2nd term but later paid for it when two terms sitting Governor who presided over 33 L.Govts areas lost his Senatorial ambition in just 9 L.Govts in Oyo South. Fortunately again God gave us GSM and he restored the lost glory of workers and pensioners by paying them every 25th of each month. Furthermore he ensured that workers get paid to celebrate commencement of every festival particularly Ramadan and Ileya festivals. Fact check pls. Can workers do it again? Yes is the answer. Do we need GSM for 2nd term? Yes is the answer bcuz Seyi is tested and trusted. Should we be ingrates to GSM for doing good to us? No is the answer. Why are the godfathers politicians against him? We are the reason. GSM refused to sacrifice our entitlement to please the very few self centered politicians. He refused to open Oyo State purse for them to loot like they used to. What should be done? Yes, both workers and pensioners should come out and vote GSM for 2nd term come Saturday. We have a population of over 100,000 as workers and pensioners in Oyo State. With anyone of our children added to our votes will give Seyi about 200,000 votes. I've not seen where any Governor in Oyo State beat his opponents with such a margin to emerge as Governor in Oyo State. Late Ajimobi paid 89b gratuities in 8years but Seyi has paid over 189b gratuities in less than 4years. Fact check from Com. Abatan, NUP State Secretary, Pensioners House Secretariat Agbarigo Ibadan. GSM has granted and indeed promoted workers that were denied by the previous administration 2016 2017 2018 and has extended it to 2019 2021 and 2022. Do we need him to continue? Yes is the answer. Should Oyo State belong to the ruling party at the center to do well? No is the answer. If not why did former Governor Aregbesola of APC Central Government paying half salary then? Why did pensioners of Ondo, Osun and Ogun States all of APC Government lamenting none payment of gratuities and pensions? Even almighty Lagos State has just released 1.2b for the payment of gratuities just last week. Seyi managed Covid-19 properly by refusing to lockdown Oyo State. Don't forget all Oyo State APC Senators and Reps under the coordination of Senator Tessi Folarin were shouting from Abuja on all radios stations in Oyo State particularly the most listening radios of Fresh fm Ayefele, Lagelu, Splash,etc that Governor Seyi should be held responsible and accountable for any loss of lives in Oyo State then. Thanks God they were disappointed bcuz it didn't happen like they wish. We need a manager like Seyi and not buffoon that will accept whatever anybody says hook line and sinker without thorough interrogation. I plead that you come out in your large numbers on Saturday to re-elect Seyi Makinde leekansi. It is a task that must be done by us. May the peace of the Lord Allah be upon each and everyone of us.
