Re: Olufemi Adebanjo, A Legislative Deficit and Why We Are All Deficient

Some of the times, criticism is really the oil or the main ingredient needed to achieve a functional organization or system. Of a truth, a myopic leader or boss would always regard every criticism including the objective ones, as a devised means to debase his or her reputation.

True leaders should be more enduring and tolerable. Regardless of how a critic humiliatingly throws offensive jabs at a leader, it is a vital leadership trait that he avoids reciprocating with hatred. However, in the space where a criticism meant to correct a perceived error is being formulated to mischaracterize and disparage the image of a leader, every sane person would easily identify that an act of malevolence had been staged.

Sensibly, in the terrain of Alimosho Politics, it is not needful to have a contention with a group tagged as “Liberation Movement” that had lowly created a ‘Beer-parlor’ talk to dent the amazing personality I had maintained over the years in the political sphere of Alimosho and inclusively, my private.

Firstly, for free, all the brains behind this offensively-penned ‘Beer-parlor’ talk had all in one time or the other voted for me and even campaigned for my electoral successes at each of this period that I have represented and still representing ‘them’ and the good people of Alimosho, to the glory of God.

I started in the Lagos State House of Assembly, later Alimosho Local Government Chairman and presently to the glory of God and ‘them’, I got the honour to serve in the National Assembly, in which I’m on the second term.
The question is, for this four terms and at a period I was given an appointment as a Special Adviser to the then Governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola, what were the deficiencies that got lost in them that they just found now?

Doesn’t this indicate something? Deficiencies in everyone? But, No.

In the first paragraph of the angered-penned Beer-parlor gist, it says: “Alimosho has never been this unfortunate. Taking away 8 political years from the life of a constituency is not a good tide – we have never had it so bad. Alimosho House of Representative member, Hon. Olufemi Adebanjo who was pushed to Abuja in 2015 by the Alimosho Hawks against the interest of the people and the party, has displayed his much-expected non-challenge, ineptitude, and unimaginable absence of the knowledge of the legislative duties. Olufemi Adebanjo has not disappointed some of us – we predicted it, and it is working exactly as predicted.”

These same set of people supported the non-existent hawks to sing my praises then, but that is a long story for another day.

Have these people forgotten the bill I sponsored as a Lagos State Lawmaker which gained media attention back then? What then is the duty of a lawmaker, if not to support or initiate a bill.

Yet, I did not stop there, I deployed Solar Boreholes across Alimosho Federal Constituency, schools were built, roads tarred, empowerment and more.

It will not be out of place to initiate a bill where some elements need to be tutored on basic principles of governance and individual lives.

All the lies raised in the write-up will in a little space of time be responded to through the proper channels, but I need to avail the good people of Alimosho some of my unrelenting positive efforts on the floor of the house as their representative.
