Governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, in the 2019 election, Sen. Olufemi Lanlehin, has said he would not react to the allegations leveled against him by a former deputy governor, Ambassador Taofeek Arapaja, over the handling of the coalition agreements with Governor Seyi Makinde.
OYOINSIGHT.COM recalls that Arapaja had, while featuring on Bosenlo, a Lagelu FM weekly programme anchored by Ajibola Akinyefa, accused Lanlehin of personalizing ADC, among other things.
This newspaper understands that the ADC and other political parties had entered into a coalition with Makinde against the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Oloye Bayo Adelabu, in the build up to the 2019 election.
The attention of Senator Olufemi Lanlehin (Solan), has been drawn to comments made by a former Oyo State Deputy Governor, Ambassador Taofeek Arapaja, on Lagelu 96.7fm’s popular sociopolitical programme, Bosenlo, wherein he levelled several mind-boggling, spurious and unfounded allegations, especially as regards the coalition arrangement which birthed the current government of Oyo State.
While those comments are nothing but a contraption of barefaced lies, accumulated untruths and phony details, Senator Lanlehin is highly disappointed that Ambassador Arapaja, whom hitherto he held in high esteem and who had once held high political positions in the country, could descend to such very low, dirty and muddy level, all in a hurried and childish bid to satisfy his new paymaster. How low can someone go for the lure of filthy lucre?
All the same, instead of offering reactions to these laughable, comical and pedestrian comments, and then turning the matter to a needless back and forth, which the accuser and his gang would be delighted with, Senator Lanlehin wishes to leave Ambassador Arapaja and his ilks, to the judgement of their conscience, if they still have one.
