My Second Letter in Less Than 24 Hours – The People Deserve Answers
Senator,
This is my second letter to you in less than 24 hours. I am writing again because the more I reflect on the revelations about your time as Governor of Ogun State, the angrier I become. The details are nauseating, the implications shameful, and the damage to the public trust unforgivable.
Let’s go straight to it. You took land meant for Ogun State judges — a space that symbolized the dignity and independence of our judiciary — and built your Asoludero Mansion on it. Do you understand the gravity of that? Do you realize that beyond the physical theft of space, it was a calculated insult to an entire arm of government?
Then there’s Ijebu Ode, where the state’s driving school — an institution that should have continued to train and equip our citizens with valuable skills — disappeared under the shadow of your hotel expansion. The public lost a service, but you gained another revenue stream. How do you justify that?
And let’s not forget The Tabernacle — a church on land that belonged to the people of Ogun State. You will claim it serves God, but tell me, Senator, since when did service to God require appropriating public property? Faith should inspire sacrifice, not acquisition.
These are not small mistakes. They are not misunderstandings. They form a pattern of betrayal — a catalogue of calculated moves to turn what belonged to the people into monuments of your personal empire. This is why I say, without hesitation, that your tenure as governor represents a deep wound on the conscience of Ogun State.
Public office is a sacred trust, not a blank cheque for personal aggrandizement. You were given power to build for the people, not to fence off their land and stamp your name on it. And yet, here we are, years later, with the citizens of Ogun State looking at mansions, hotels, and churches that stand as constant reminders of what they lost under your watch.
Senator, I will not mince words — these actions demand answers, explanations, and accountability. The fear that may haunt you today is not baseless; it is the shadow of choices you made when you thought power was permanent.
You can dismiss this as politics, but it is far deeper than that. This is about trust, about truth, and about the soul of leadership. And right now, your legacy reads like a handbook on how to betray the people who trusted you.
I will not stop asking. I will not stop writing. And I will not stop demanding until Ogun State gets the truth it deserves.
The people are watching. History is recording. Posterity will judge.
Signed,
Toyosi Adenaike
