I have intentionally kept quite on the Ogbeni Gbenga Olarewaju write up days ago that gave opinions on our house of our Rep. Member representing Yagba Federal Constituency Elder Leke Abejide for two reason’s preparing to bury my dearest Grandfather whose burial ceremony held days ago and needed to discuss with Ogbeni himself which have done.
Just for the record, before his election was actively supporting the ruling party GYB-APC Led government in Kogi State until the emergence of Hon. (Elder) Leke Abejide as the flag bearer of Africa Democratic Congress (A.D.C) that brought most of us on the other divide in to support his candidacy in a Community like election that led to his victory at the polls.
I remembered vividly I walked up to him discussing my interest to be part of his Media team and Campaign member through my Uncle and friend Hon. Rotimi Ishola after my background check on him and consultations with some of my leaders who nodded in because of his positive acceptability. With him giving his approval and support when needed that contributed to his electoral victory in my Ward and community more.
The relationship have transformed from that to been a more closer follower; with him been a friend, leader, confidant and I realized beyond politics that deep lessons are supposed to be learnt from the uniqueness of his Leadership styles, business acumen and other positive traits I desire to emulate too.
On the points pointed out by Ogbeni where he mentioned my name- I want to say my loyalty to our House of Representative Member remains till this morning intact outside politics and as regard my said reward politically.
Only God truly reward any man’s effort perfectly and interestingly have privately and publicly said that politics is never a career to me but a platform to transform, improve and make Nigeria better at all level including Yagba Federal Constituency and grow my creative innovative ideas as a Young Intellectually sound growing entrepreneur Nigerian which Elder Leke would contribute to Gods willing in all humility.
And my relationship with Hon. Leke Abejide has been part of my platform for growth politically and I can’t deny that but as humans we are Oliver Twist in Nature and deserves MORE always.
But the fact is Elder Leke understand the needs and how to reward his followers including me which would rightly and timely be done within his capacity appropriately and am patiently waiting.
