| PDP leaders beg Ooni to forgive, help Omisore |
Adagunodo, who was in an opposing camp
to Omisore’s had led some members of the party to the palace of Oba
Ogunwusi and pleaded with the monarch to forgive Omisore who has yet to
visit the Ooni seven months after he was enthroned as the Ife monarch.
They also asked the monarch to assist
Omisore, who is his subject to get out of the detention of the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission.
But a close ally of Omisore, who is also
the spokesperson for the party in the state, Mr. Diran Odeyemi, in a
statement on Sunday said Adagunodo’s action was tantamount to a mockery
and a pretence.
Odeyemi stated, “When EFCC came after
Omisore, it is logical to assume that Adagunodo group will be happy that
their “enemy” is now out of the scene and away from their sight.
“It is also likely that the open display
of sympathy and latter-day affection may not be genuine. How can we
explain the sudden love for a man you so much hate while in freedom?
Their actions and utterances may be “Oju aye” (eye service.)”
The statement added, “In their attempt
to register the group as supportive of the man they despise, they
started crying more than the bereaved, running around to nowhere and
with no justifiable reasons for their actions and utterances.
“In Omisore’s case, they cannot be a
good advocate to defend his course. It is bias and double standard. For
Adagunodo, it is a dangerous game. Head or tail, his intention can never
stand the test of absolute sincerity.
“Why going from pillar to post over a
sensitive matter still under investigation? You can only plead when
confronted with evidences of guilt not prior. This is why Adagunodo’s
plea to the Ooni of Ife on behalf of Omisore is a strange strategy that
can be viewed as a further attempt to nail Omisore by his enemy posing
as his friend.
“One may also be right if you call it a
“back door political coup” to dent Omisore’s image. It is a mockery
visit for a bad mission under pretence.”
Odeyemi said although the Ooni did not
give the PDP chairman and his followers the normal respect he always
accord his valued guest, he stated that the monarch used the opportunity
to vent his anger on Omisore,
He said, “Oba Ogunwusi was presented a
veritable opportunity to stylishly vent out his subtle anger on Omisore.
Kabiyesi in his wisdom complained of not being visited by Omisore. His
prayer for Omisore is loaded and more or less sounded neutrality in his
matter. It is normal and expected. Kabiyesi scored a good goal from a
loose ball passed to him by Adagunodo’s group.”
