Politics,by international best practices is not a do or die affair, it is a game of alignment, realignment to protect one’s interest,that of your people and to stand on what you believe in,without intimidation, harassment or public assault.
This is not the case of those known to have championed the cause of the senatorial ambition of the longest serving Lagos State Legislator, Hon Bayo Osinowo popularly known as pepper who recently declared to join the race of who to be the Senator to represent Lagos East senatorial district in 2019.
Just yesterday, 13th of September around 9:20pm a set of female triplet popularly known as “ETA” who are local politicians in Somolu from the FADEYI ward of the Local Government storm Hon Bago-Stowe’s house to harass his followers who seat for a daily political meeting at the frontage of the Humani street residence of the former council chairman,former S.S.A to Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu who is still the Principal Coordinator of the Mandate Group for Shomolu Federal Constituency.
You would recall that Hon. Gbolahan Bago-stowe is not just a two term chairman of Somolu Local Government and aspirant for Lagos State House Assembly to represent Somolu constituency 1 but also an adherent supporter of Senator Gbenga Ashafa for his return to the red chamber come 2019.
While those unscrupulous elements with no independent minds attack Bago-stowe ,his followers and the Immediate Past sole Administrator of the Local Government Hon.Williams Lawanson who is a guest of Bago-Stowe at his residence where those ladies demonstrated madness as they broke bottles, some white chairs use for the daily meetings as well the wares of the trader who innocently sells drinks and pepper garnished meats and fish at the venue were also got upturned by those political jobbers without leaving Ashafa’s banners hung on Bago-stowe residence’s gate undestroyed.
All they where chanting while they disrupt activities of the political gathering was that *Bago must go with Pepper*(Hon. Osinowo) and not the Distinguished Senator Gbenga Ashafa who has distinguished himself as an excellent serving people’s senator of our district.
What we gathered,that prompted the actions of those ladies popularly known as “Eta” among Somolu Politicians who Bago-stowe for his calmness and political decency told his boys to just look on and leave them to demonstrate their madness was that one of the triplet is a serving S.S.A to the Chairman of Somolu Local Government Hon. Abdul-Hamed Salawu popularly known as Dullar who is a protegè of Hon. Bayo Osinowo the Senatorship Aspirant for Lagos East and has said politicians in somolu, particularly those who are holding political offices, who is not ready to support Pepper’s ambition should be given notice to exit the Local government secretariat or have their salaries unpaid.
For those “eta” who were once Bago-stowe’s trained ladies until one of them got S.S.A appointment under Hon Dullar have only been sent to Bago-stowe to send a signal to him to force him to join the Pepper’s train.
Bago-stowe while reacting after the unfortunate incident has the following to say ” *No one would forced me to play nonsense, If by now, as former Chairman of a Local Government and the Principal coordinator of The Mandate Group for Somolu i still follow deceptive crowd, it would only shows that I don’t know what I am doing, that, I will not support Pepper on his senatorial ambition, I have my reasons, if we get to where to discuss it, I will put my reasons before our leaders, I don’t have personal issue with him,we may still converge later on other things in future but presently on this senatorial race I am solidly behind Senator Olugbenga Bareehu Ashafa without jittering for any one, Ashafa is a distinguished member of our party, he is not a PDP Senator, to support him is a good move in a good direction for me,my associate and my followers* ,Bago-stowe said.
