The Lagos political circles have been wondering why Hon Bayo osinowo, who loves to be refered to as ‘Pepper’ thinks he is qualified enough to represent the good people of Lagos known for his sophisticated and cosmopolitan personality in the Senate.
Adebayo Osinowo,who was born in November 28,1955 is a member of Lagos State House of Assembly, representing the Kosofe 1 Constituency of Lagos State. He owns a Diploma (Building) Certificate, and obtains a Masters Degree in Communication. Those who are acquainted to his personally and has witnessed his clownish display on the floor of the Assembly will tell you that Bayo lacks the capacity and intellectual abilities needed for the senatorial position .
Positively, Bayo has been a legislator for years but quite of number of people in his constituency will tell you that he lost thelast Elections to Seye ogunlewe son who was rigged out because a mention of pepper name around his constituency will causes issues enough to generate Electricity. He is described to living an extravagant life and highly recognized in the the music entertainment industry, unfortunately failing to pay attention to the poor state of a public secondary school just across his home.
Bayo draws his strength from the most powerful politician in Lagos, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu who seems to have a major influence in his life. So fiercely loyal to Asiwaju Hon osinowo that he has made Asiwaju’s enemies his own, and would achieve anything to impress Asiwaju.This has made him to become the ultimate politician in kosofe, despite his lack of exposure and good representation of his constituency.
Had the Lagos APC primaries not been asked to go on Direct primaries, Bayo would have strolled to the senate seat because he had pocketed the structures in the senatorial District, but with the Direct primaries, the table has turned and many expect the incumbent Sen Gbenga Ashafa to win the ticket.
Even pepper humbled himself in a recent interview, when asked about the bills he has sponsored so far ,you will think someone doing a fourth term will go on and on, this is pepper who says ‘i got my nickname because my eyes are always red’ in his own words.
‘Bills were always co-sponsored since no one person can singlehandedly move a bill through the various stages before it eventually becomes a law. I have been the chairman of land and housing for the past 11 to 15years and virtually all the Bills concerning land have been sponsored and passed through me. Truthfully, i have been involved in alot of Bills. We just passed a Bill to consolidate all laws on the issue of land in the state we intend merging all the laws. Some of these laws are oudated and we are are trting to curb the activities of land grabbers’.
‘By special grace Of God, I have been the chairman of land and housing for the past 11 to 14 years and that shows that i am a good legislator and if this was another field, i would have been offered different PhD Degrees. I enjoy it because we are impacting and sensitizing the people on the value of land. We are lucky in Lagos state that our governors are purposeful and strategic. When we generated 600million Naira during Marwa’s regime, we all celebrated. But when Ashiwaju Tinubu used his professional expertise as an Accountant to block leakages in many sectors and sanitized the sectors, we started generating 2 to 6 billion Naira. As a matter of fact, Governor Babatunde Fashola improved it to 25Billion naira. Now, we generate atleast 25Billion naira. I believe that, We have had marvelous and exemplary leaders in Lagos and our governors have always had a keen sense of accountability and they know exactly how to use the funds made available to them.
We hope Lagos APC members in Lagos East will do the needful
