Oyinlola Vs Oba Aromolaran: Erelu Weeps!

Governor Oyinlola vs. Oba Aaromolaran

IT is no longer news that Osun State Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola was later humbled by former President Olusegun Obasanjo over his diatribe against Owa Obokun of Ijesaland, Oba Adekunle Aromolaran, but fresh facts have further revealed the untold story behind the scene.

It would be recalled that the embattled state’s helmsman launched an attack on the monarch at the opening programme of his monthly interactive session with selected party men on the state broadcasting service called OPEN FORUM, the governor just descended on The monarch in response to the first question thrown to him by the moderator of the programnme.

Investigations revealed that the governor was in a tipsy state when he appeared on the programme, a situation that reportedly fuelled the anger in him against the monarch, whom he branded as an enemy of his government.

Speaking on the programme, the governor unleashed his diatribe, using parables and innuendoes to paint the misunderstanding between him and the monarch in such a way that could be described as royal raw deal of the month, suggestive of a hatchet job for another prominent monarch in the state who was not comfortable with the principle stand of Oba Aromolaran.

OSUN DEFENDER learnt that immediately after the programme, the visibly disturbed deputy governor, Erelu Olusola Obada burst into tears, and was weeping like a baby, complaining that the action of the governor might cost her goodwill at home.

Findings revealed that the rattled Ibodi-born deputy governor then put a call through to the former president and when she could not sail through, she eventually sent a text message to him, relating the scenario at the programme to him and the plausible damage the action might have caused.

Information has it that as at the time the deputy governor was sending the message and calls, Obasanjo was in the air in an aircraft, but he finally got the message when he landed at the airport, a situation that compelled him to get back to the deputy governor and gave his words that he would be in Osogbo, Osun State capital the following day, Sunday.

Checks also confirmed it that Obasanjo later spoke with Oba Aromolaran, telling him to meet him at the Governor’s Lodge in Osogbo on that Sunday, promising to bring the misunderstanding between the governor and the monarch toan end.

In a related development, some of the kingmakers who were on the pay-roll of the governor for the hatchet job at the palace had reportedly met the governor secretly on that Saturday night, demanding that the governor wielded his big stick by deposing Oba Aromolaran, pleading that the allegation of the financial impropriety levelled against the monarch was enough a reason to warrant his deposition, but the governor reportedly told them that he would not rush into taking any decision for now.

When Obasanjo arrived at the Oke-Fia Government House and presided over the meeting between the monarch and some stakeholders including the deputy governor and some other politicians invited by the governor, the former president expressed his disgust about the development, saying that the action of the governor was a calculated attempt to bungle the chances of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in future elections in Ijesa-land.

According to Obasanjo: “Lagun, iwa re yi ku di e ka to, o ponmi tan, o si da odo ru (meaning: Lagun, this is not fair, just because you are not going for another term, you have thrown the party off-balance), he frowned at the way and manner the governor dressed down the monarch on the radio and television, describing the Oyinlola action as an abuse of executive power.

It was learntthat when Obasanjo was upbraiding the governor, his deputy was still weeping, begging the monarch to let the matter lie low, while the governor in his characteristic manner prostrated for the monarch, allegedly confessing that he was misled on the information available to him.

However, further investigation has revealed that Obasanjo’s visit to the Government House had to do with the travails of Senator Felix Ogunwale.

It would be recalled that Ogunwale’s abandoned property in his home town, Iragbiji, Boripe Local Government Council Area of the state was said to have been the scene of slaughter of one hunchback, Miss Taibat Oseni, a situation that has become a police matter.

Information had it that Obasanjo, having felt let-down that Ogunwale decided to pitch his tent with former Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s camp, allegedly advised the controversial Osun State Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola to ensure that the senator was embarrassed with the killing of the hunchback.

Speaking on the development between Oba Aromolaran and Oyinlola, a leading chieftain of Osun State Action Congress (AC), Otunba Jumoke Ogunkeyede said that the governor had insulted the Ijesa nation, reiterating that the monarch has over 200 beaded crowned monarchs under his control.

Ogunkeyede stated that Oyinlola had been able to display his executive rascality because some of the lesser traditional rulers who find themselves in the custody of the Yoruba’s history were giving him false history about Owa, noting that the Ijesas at home and abroad would be waiting for him at the end of his grandstanding called administration.

All efforts to get in touch with the governor’s spokesman proved abortive, as none of his mobile lines was reachable as at the time of filing this report.

  1. Kin ni pa were re lekun ojo ekun re ku si dede

  2. This is just the beingning and we are just praying to God to be wit those tribunal till the day of judgement

  3. What would Osun indigens both @ home and abroad expect from a drunkard ,a heavy smoker (maurijuana,cocaine & heroine)?This unprogressive soul Oyinlola is a musquito thinker that only grumble all about,non meaningful talks,a big mouthed fellow, a do or die graduate of OBJ School.But there’s one thing i know is that Oyinlola has swallowed a mortal he couldn’t bend down,lie down and never stand on his feet.

  4. Oyinlola is only compounding to his problem and may he never realise his mistakes,amen.

  5. The Cursed King Pharaoh got perished through Carefreedness he doesn’t want to recognise anybody’s presence no matter how big ,small , royal, influential one is.Therefore,the carefreed Prince of Okuku has buckled the shoes been abandoned by Pharaoh,so the certainty of perishing is 1.No doubt!

  6. The Prince of Okuku can never have a change of heart. He is a quiet killer. He disgraced Oba Aromolaran in the public and he was begging him in the secret. What a shame! Oba Aromolaran should not be fooled second time. He must not believe the Prince as he has been cursed by God to be mis-behaving so that his end will be so miserable. Erelu should stop shedding crocodile tears. She has failed and failed for ever. She can not tell me that she is not part of the plot. She did not know that her ‘oga/ale’ will let the cat out of the bag in that manner in the public. Adimula of Ijesha land should thank his star that the plot to disgrace him was not stronger than this. It would have been more disastrous if they have roped him with bigger rope. The Prince of Okuku and his Jezebel will soon meet face to face with God. Their ends will be so sorrowful. Obasanjo should stop dragging yorubas backward by pretending to fight Tinubu. His sins shall be visited very soon and he will pay for all the souls that he had sent to the great beyond.
