SENATOR Felix Kola Ogunwale, has blamed former Governor of Osun State, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, for perceived political travails, the ex-governor is passing through, saying, he warned Prince Oyinlola  to beware of “sycophants and boot-lickers, who could drink his urine, all in a bid to deceive him and siphon funds from him.”

In a statement, the former Senator, lamented that even Prince Oyinlola, “military background, which should have made him assertive and alert to human innuendoes and false pretences, the former governor danced naked in the market.

“A person of his caliber, who was brought up in the palace, where discipline is the order of the day, Oyinlola failed woefully to grasp the opportunity, and therefore could not impact on the lives of the people of Osun as a governor.”

I know that my father is not a king, but I will never deceive anybody because of what I will profit from that person or establishment. Today, it is an unfortunate history and a sad commentary, that Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, has led PDP in Osun State into dis-integration and shame. In the process, he threw Osun State PDP into dustbin of unimaginable disrepute and early death.

An irredeemable path to extinction.

Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, for purpose of incontrovertible fact, should remember, that I came down to his Okuku country home and emphatically told him, that his cronies and supposed loyalists were planning to destabilize our then party – the PDP, which formation in Osun State in 1998, I immensely contributed to, alongside late Chief S. M. Afolabi and Dr. Olu Alabi among few others. I offered my wide shoulders for PDP to lean on financially between 1999 and 2003, when it was a political leper in Osun. Rather than heeding my submission and listen to voice of wisdom, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola sidelined me and asked me to do some impossibility.

Of course I refused to toe Oyinlola’s line of thought.

Why is Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola crying wolf today, where there is none, when he has received enough warnings from me, but took me as his enemy, which I am not till tomorrow. Facts are sacred. Today, former governor Oyinlola, should know, that I am his best friend, though he misunderstood me, because the political hangers-on and sycophants around him, when he was in government, would not allow him to identify with a few of us who meant well for him. They went extra miles to outdone the innocent man, including diabolical tendencies as confessed by some of these sycophants recently.

I could not imagine a person of Oyinlola’s caliber, after being a military administrator in Lagos State for 3 years and a civilian governor in Osun State for 71/2 years, not to be able to build enough succor and goodwill, to give him a soft landing to pursue his senatorial ambition, but would now personally resort to house to house campaign, soliciting for peoples votes. This should not be so and I pity him.

Where are his cronies and good-weather friends, who dined and wined with him for 71/2 years, to bail him out of his present political travails? It is sad to see all the people, that Oyinlola used to supposedly harassed and intimidated me – Kola Ogunwale in his hay-days, not able to perform and promote the fortunes of PDP in Osun State between 2003 and 2010, not to talk of rescuing Oyinlola from leaving office abruptly.
