Some people are even taking solace in the fact that when they die, that is the end. I want to say to them, that is not the end. We die to part with the physical body while the spirit returns to the creator-God. What goes round must come round. Cut a tree in the forest, it sprouts again. When a banana tree die, it replaces itself by its offspring. Ditto for human persons. The story of Rauf Aregbesola is a reminder of former Governor Ahmed Tinubu's cabinet in Lagos State. All the commissioners except our own son from Ekiti, Bamidele Opeyemi seems to be grateful to God. This in the sense that they all wanted to take over as Governor at the expiration of Tinubu's term. If Rauf Aregbesola has performed creditably well while serving as commissioner in Lagos, one would ask while this inordinate ambition to the extent of forging a document in order to become a governor. I am sure if any dust had been raised when he was to be made a commissioner in Lagos regarding his state of origin, he would have presented a document to back up his origin as a Lagosian. Having escaped with that, he thought it would be easy to dislocate a retired military incumbent Governor. If we may ask, how did he get all the funds he was lavishing during the election? Has he tampered with the money in his ministry as commissioner? These are the questions he should be answering by now but alas, we are in a country where anything goes. I want to encourage the police to deepen the on going forgery investigation up to his activities as Lagos State commissioner. Certainly he has not just started this criminal behaviour. Making him a scapegoat will at least teach others in his similar frame of mind to begin to appreciate God and a lesson to know it is time to build a healthy nation.

This report has been tendered since two years when this contest started. It took only the Appeal Court ordering a retrial of the heavilly manipulated tribunal case for Oyinlola and co to know that the report was fake? And that woke the slumbering president and his party to launch into quick action. Pray, what about the Osungate scandal involving illicit phone exchange between the Osun tribunal and Oyinlola's lawyers? Why is our dear sleeping president and his PDP police of fraud not doing anything about it? But Oyinlola and co should know that if they succeed in denying the police report that has been on the shelf for the past two years, they need more than a fraudulent police leadership and a mischievuous presidency and an evil party to survive the forensic report about the Osun election. They should be ready for a greater battle ahead. PDP and its police sef. This report has been tendered since two years when this contest started.

Its time we take to the street, a la Iran, or the next election would be terrible and any litigation arising from it treated as treason; as 'they' are already doing. May the opposition NEVER die,but remain to save we poor Nigerians,from the wicked hawks pretending to be leaders!!!!

How could it be ascertained hat the police officer in the so-called disputed/forged document is not a serving policeman ?
