ENILOLOBO TOWERS HIGH IN LOYALTY, IN SERVICE TO PRESIDENT TINUBU GCFR

 

By Funso Omodele 

The petition by the Lagos State organs and officers of The Mandate Movement to mitigate the attempted usurpation of the movement, by Cardinal James Omolaja Odunmbaku aka Baba Eto and Mr Tayo Ayinde is a step in the right direction, this is affirmed by law and by sound political judgment. 

Lagos State Chapter of The Mandate Movement led by Abdullahi Ayinde Enilolobo did not resort to self help, but towed the path enpanelled by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, with the constitution of the Governance Advisory Council, GAC, the highest decision making organ in Lagos State All Progressives Congress, APC, to lay her grievances against anyone or institution, before the proper organs. 

It is on record that The Mandate Movement in the 2023 general elections window campaigned for President Tinubu and all APC candidates using the BATCO Mandate Independent Campaign Council, ICG, outfit. The ICG was duly registered with the APC Presidential Campaign Council, as it was with thousands of other ICGs.

It is selective amnesia for anyone to deny the pro Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR press conference, sequel to the submission of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola on Osun politics, wherein Enilolobo submitted to both print and electronic media thus 

"IF OUR BIOLOGICAL OR SPIRITUAL FATHERS TOLD US TO STOP BEING THE FOLLOWERS OF ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU, WE WILL NOT HEED TO IT, NO ONE CAN STOP US FROM BEING ASIWAJU'S POLITICAL SONS AND DAUGHTERS: EITHER IN THE MANDATE MOVEMENT OR APC ALIMOSHO FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY" -

The road walk of loyalty by Enilolobo, Alimosho APC apex body, the G-18, thousands of The Mandate Movement members in support of President Tinubu led by Senator Olamilekan Adeola Solomon accompanied by all public and party officers in Alimosho federal constituency on May 7, 2021 was duly covered and reported by the media: a testimony to the firm loyalty of Enilolobo toward the Tinubu presidential project. 

The duo of Ayinde and Baba Eto were joint chairmen of the Tinubu Shettima Sanwo-Olu Hamzart Independent Campaign Council in Lagos State and Abdullahi Ayinde Enilolobo was the chairman of the mobilization directorate, a detail given him due to his track record as a mobilizer of repute, Enilolobo is always available for pro President Tinubu and APC assignments. 

If it is the refusal of Enilolobo to key into Tayo Ayinde's 2027 gubernatorial project is why he is being vilified with campaign of lies, then both Ayinde and Baba Eto who could not deliver their Ikeja federal constituency to the President in the 2023 election should understand that Enilolobo and Alimosho APC always queue behind President Tinubu's annoited aspirants. So will it be in 2027 by the grace of God. 

Baba Eto's ponds in Alimosho federal constituency, Hon Bisi Yusuf and Hon Adefemi Adebanjo, are sit tight politicians who after seven and five terms in public offices consecutively and respectively, fell out with Enilolobo and Alimosho APC G-18 leadership, simply because they counselled them to give room to the party youths, and the Awori aborigine stock in the constituency.

It was these individuals Hon Yusuf and Adebanjo who in collusion with HE Hon Princess Adejoke Orelope Adefulire OON the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Sustainable Development Goals, and a member of the GAC, who changed the Alimosho APC party agents and collation officers to their emergency associates a day to the presidetial election, the arrow heads of the collation and party agents they deployed were known anti party buffs, who were caught on tape negotiating election outcomes with Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Labour Party, LP, Alliance Democratic Congress ADC and other opposition parties.

Seeing that they failed in managing the presidential election in Alimosho federal constituency, they deploy the most vicious lie that Enilolobo and Alimosho APC G-18 leadership, who by subterfuge had no election day roles in the presidential election worked for Labour Party. The question is did APC leaders in Kosofe, Eti-Osa, Ojo, Amuwo-Odofin, Somolu, Ikeja, Ajeromi-Ifelodun, Oshodi-Isolo and Ibeju Lekki also worked for Labour Party.

These sudden friends of Baba Eto having seen that they were outsmarted, used and relegated by HE Orelope-Adefulire in the Alimosho Solidarity Movement, ASM, they contrapted. In frustration and bitterness became willing tools available for hatchet political jobs. Their desperate lies and actions is a result of being fish out of the waters of both Justice Forum and The Mandate Movement in Alimosho federal constituency
