The people of the Western District of the state should not allow themselves to be misled by a selfish, proud and arrogant individual called Smart Adeyemi and his band of "bread and butter" politicians.
It is so gullible and shameless of a man who have served as a senator for eight (8) years without any impact on his constituency, no single federal presence despite his claim to be very close to the former President Goodluck Jonathan.
His recent moves shows how desperate and frustrates he is for power and further shows how inconsistent he is as a politician. Shortly after loosing election on the platform of the People's Democratic Party, a party whose flag he carried for good eight (8) years, came out to discredit the party, calling the party the most corrupt and joining the APC highly respected leader, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu and Hon. James Abiodun Faleke group of the APC during his decamp ceremony held in Abuja. His aim of unwitting the incumbent Chairman Senate Committe on FCT, Senator Dino Melaye was defeated as he finally lost out in the court.
Hungry Smart Adeyemi immediately jumped to join the unpopular government of Alhaji Yahaya Bello of kogi state, with praise singing and all forms of comedy of error as displayed by a man who was supposed to be honourable enough to join hands in advising and correcting the State governor has sold his conscience to become pupet and destructive tool to the said administration.
Not long ago, "atari ajanaku" as foundly called was alleged to have taken a sum of N50m from the state governor to organise a rally in support of a governor who has turned over 60% of the citizens of the state to ghosts, either as a civil servant or as a pensioner, an event that shows that both Smart and the governor were not popular among the people. Smart Adeyemi could not have been speaking on behalf of the good people of Kogi West Senatorial District whose hope of a better living was ruined by a military dictator in civilian uniform. Smart Adeyemi as far as Kogi West is concern, is ”a man of no political consequence” and, therefore, not in a position to speak for the good people of Kogi West.
If Smart Adeyemi had any political relevance, following and clout”, he would not have lost the election despite the fact that he was in office. Smart had no electoral value and that his advocacy was predicated on immediate pecuniary gratification rather than the larger interest of the Senatorial District.
Kogi youths are the worst victims of corruption and any group or individual supporting the return of corruption is doing so for personal reasons rather the larger interests of the people of Kogi state. Iyara his community cannot boast of any meaningful development, not even a kiosk where recharge cards are sold in his name as investment.
Smart is a man in search of political relevance. He has lost all forms of relevance, which has long deserted him and is now seeking to make himself heard. So pathetic that the recent state advisory council constituted by governor Yahaya Bello, Smart Adeyemi a senator for eight years is also a beneficiary of the committee with a monthly take home pay of N50,000. What an unfortunate sitttuation.
Unfortunately for you (Smart Adeyemi), the Kogi West people are now wiser and have seen the difference between a stir-crazy politician of Adeyemi’s stock and a natural/people-driven leadership of Senator Dino Melaye whose landmark achievements in only two years in office have dwarfed the entire Smart Adeyemi’s eight years in office as wasted.
In all his activities recently, Distinguished Senator Dino Melaye, has hardly responded to him owing to the fact that the task of nation building, presently at hand, is more important than this distraction.
I wish to warn the good people of Kogi West, Youths and kogites at large to be wary of the personality of former chairman, senate commute on FCT, Senator Smart Adeyemi who can best be described as a man of unsteady character.
He has lost his face, now begging for relevance in the political space. For man in the position of Smart Adeyemi going about like a political jobber seeking favours from their pay masters. It is a shame. He is faceless and has lost relevance in the scheme of things so much so that he is now begging to be part of the government he once condemned.
Recently, I visited Ilorin, the capital city of Kwara State and I saw what was supposed to be monuments for Senator Smart Adeyemi, they have all turned monumental disappointments. The hotels that were flourishing before are now dilapidated and some abandoned. I shook my head in pity and come to the conclusion that all these frustration is enough to make Smart Adeyemi sell so cheap to engage in the various activities of his in recent past. But rather turn himself to a "boy boy" of a governor who ordinarily should see him as an elderstatesman, from whom he can seek counsel, simply because you are broke and financially sick. Smarts would have honourable retired home but to the fact that he never believe that whatever has a beginning must surely have an end. Smart did not plan for his political retirement and to stabilise now, becomes difficult.
May God have mercy on Senator Smart Adeyemi.
