Osun: Don’t Involve Late Soji Adagunodo In Your Political Maneuvering, AFCF Tells Dotun Babayemi, Supporters

 The Adagunodo Friends and Core Followers, AFCF,  on Wednesday cautioned a former Osun state PDP gubernatorial aspirant, Prince  Dotun Babayemi and his supporters  against involving the name of the former PDP National Vice Chairman,  South West, late Hon. Olasoji Adagunodo  in their political maneuvering claiming that plans to convince their new masters in the APC  that  Babayemi is popular in the State of the Living Spring  has been rebuffed by numerous Adagunodo’s friends and known core followers.

The continued involvement of the name of the late PDP national official in their political maneuvering has according to AFCF  made his friends and core followers feel incensed hence the need to issue a stern warning to the Gbongan-born politician to stop doing such forthwith.

They noted   that Prince Dotun  Babayemi  had not too long ago  been told to warn some of his supporters to stop  involving  the name of their trusted person in  any political manipulative tendencies.

The  AFCF  in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by Alhaji Muniru Abiodun Ogundipe, who they referred to as ‘one of the childhood friends of Hon. Olasoji Adagunodo’,  noted that they had on two different occasions  had conference  calls with Prince  Dotun Babayemi and ‘his boys’  to stop involving the name of  Hon. Adagunodo unnecessarily in his APC, agenda, this, Alhaji Muniru noted,  happened when one of the former guber aspirant’s  social media boys granted an  interview  and claimed that ,if alive,  Hon. Adagunodo would have led them to APC.

The group   added that they considered it shocking  when their attention was called to another facebook message in which someone purportedly made a book of condolence available for the people to condole with Babayemi and his group over the death of someone  who died a year ago (Adagunodo). 

The  AFCF noted that  a decision was  taken  to issue this last warning to Omooba Dotun Babayemi and his associates to desist from making unnecessary jests of the Adagunodo’s group  by forcing them to remember their saddest moments of grief and they have threatened  to take a legal action ‘which may arise from reechoing their sad moments with a threat that they may be sued for cyber bullying their emotions and feelings’. 

Alhaji Ogundipe added that Babayemi and his agents  should take cognizance of the last public interview granted by Hon. Olasoji Adagunodo on Rave FM on April 25, 2023, before his demise  during which  he publicly informed those who truly loved him to go back to their various wards, join the party and be part of the government under Governor Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke who he  had also promised to meet and straighten things with  before God called him to glory.

‘For anybody who truly loved Olasoji Adagunodo and believed in his cause while he was alive, it is pertinent to dwell on the doctrines and political ideology of the responsible politician as a mark of respect for him and not for some irritant political jobbers to be involving his name in a political party like APC that he hated so much while alive’ the statement added.

Alhaji Muniru Ogundipe  also submitted that late Hon. Olasoji Adagunodo had expressed his mind during  the radio interview in question  what he cherished most – which is unity and cooperation to work together with  Governor Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke who he called a genuine lover of Osun state and her people. 

‘Whoever truly loved Soji Adagunodo should go along with him on his political beliefs and ideology which he lived with till death closed his eyes’ he said.

Alhaji Ogundipe added that  ‘ there is a need for all parties involved to respect the legacy and memory of the late leader’ warning them ‘to refrain from engaging in activities that may dishonour the name he had  built for himself for decades’.

He also submitted that all true  leaders and followers of Adagunodo have shown him enough respect by acting in line with his political views  adding  that ‘if the likes of Alhaji Shuaib Afolabi Oyedokun; Alhaji Fatai Akinbade; H.E. Olagunsoye Oyinlola, H.E. Erelu Olusola Obada, CON, (Mama Soji); H.E. Governor Abiodun Seyi Makinde; Prof Wale Oladipo; Alhaji Tajudeen Oladipo; Dr. Oluwole Alabi (Baba Soji); and a host of other notable leaders, too numerous to mention, could align with Senator Ademola Adeleke for the development of the government and good people of Osun state, that is also the position of Adagunodo’s true  friends and core followers’.
