In 2011, when the leaders of the ACN shared elective posts within themselves and their family members, it was like this cant happen again. In Ogun state, Chief Rafiu Ogunleye former deputy governor during Osoba first term, shared three House of Representatives seats between his in-laws and friends. Osoba, his boss gave his son House of Representatives seat. Tinubu gave his wife Senate, his in-law House of Representatives etc... The sharing continues in appointments and portfolios, even Royal fathers got some. Yesterday APC primaries in Lagos State, was continuation of sharing among the so called leaders. The State party chairman gave his son House of Assembly ticket. The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, who is from Kwara State, gave his son, Ikeja constituency seat ticket. I wonder how orphan like myself will get ticket in a Feudalist /Monarchy system of APC and PDP? Since my father is not Lai Mohammed, I am not qualify for government land allocation, I must buy at high price from the secondary market. These people got 2 acres of land at Lekki Phase II for 16 million, and later sold at secondary market for 100 million per plot. More than half a billion profit. Since my dad is not Alhaji Agba, I cant get contract or employment with Ogun state government. Since I refused to take Oath at Burujis house, I cant supply block for SUBEB classroom project. If I dont advertise Jonathan day in day out, I cant get import waiver to bring in school bus, computer and books for my people to use. The worst part of my story is that, poor people like myself will prefer to join forces against me from liberating them, rather than working with me to build egalitarian society. If you become orphan at the age of 23 in Nigeria, you have less than 10% chances of making it within the rule of legitimacy. Are we going to continue like this? One of those moments I shed tears for homeland. -Adétòmíwá Adétiléwá, is a UPN candidate for House of Representatives, Ijebu Central Federal Constituency. Lets vote him.
