" My major focus now is how will this present government in Oyo State under the leadership Governor Seyi Makinde succeeds"
Consistence with sincerity of purpose is a prerequisite to succeed in life, in whatever sector or strata of life one may be and with this many have been rewarded by man or nature , and such is the case of the newly appointed Liason Officer for Egbeda/Ona Ara in person of Honourable/Chief Adegboyega Akinlolu James (AKIN OOSA) who we cornered somewhere in the city of Ibadan, to interview him recently on what has been his opinion on his new position he's been commissioned, to serve under the administration of Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State and here underneath we unwind-ed on our report about the interview with him.
How did you come into politics
I have been in politics quite sometime now, I served Senator Teslim Folarin as one of his aides , then I have served in the State capacity of the PDP party as the Vice Chairman Oyo State PDP reconciliation and transition committee, that was the first job with the committee being led Honourable Yinka Taiwo.
What do you remember as they are no more in PDP.
Yes, they are no more in PDP, you know I was with Senator Teslim Folarin for fifteen years one cannot rule out leadership from politics, when Senator Teslim Folarin wanted to leave I saw his move that he was about to leave PDP for APC in 2015 general election immediately after he lost, he is still my leader but I have my choice to make.
Did he ever encourages you to follow him then
No, he said it but I don't need to be told to follow him, yet I made that decision that I need to stand on my own, you know I pray a lot, and I believe in God, so everything I do in life I put God first.
What did you see in PDP to have been there.
I have been a member of PDP the foundation level, I'm a foundation member of PDP, like I said earlier I have served in the party structure and government establishment, I have been the Vice Chairman of the party's committee so I believe one day PDP will come back to rule this nation, after the eight years of APC even when we lost in 2015 election, you know I have an admiration for Governor Seyi Makinde even when he was not in PDP nad immediately I saw my Oga; Senator Teslim Folarin leaving PDP I quickly thought it is better I fix my tent with Engineer Seyi Makindeand I pray and was told that PDP is going to win and Engineer Seyi Makinde is going to be the next governor of Oyo Statein 2017.
And I put that message on facebook and that night I was told the message I called Engineer Seyi Makinde who picked my call and we discussed extensively and I said I have spoken with the next governor of Oyo State, while I put in on Facebook, some people criticized me and even Senator Folarin called me and said I learnt you wrote on who will be the next governor ; be careful of what you write and I responded that oga, that was what I was told and I have to let people know . And that was how we started then, thank God today we are in.
You are from Ona Ara Local government, what do you know about Egbeda Local government.
I'm from Ona Ara Local Government, Ward 11 and the present Liason Officer for Egbeda/Ona Ara, you know Ona Ara //Egbeda Constituency is my constituency, I have worked with different people there during the transition committee, Egbeda has eleven wards like Ona Ara, we have leaders like honourable Olayemi Busari, honourable Sanda and Co, so we are more or less brothers, even before my appointment as Liason Officer we move together, we do everything together, so I find it very easy to go to them for advice in order to put me through.
Now what is your major focus as Liason Officer for Egbeda/Ona Ara
My major focus now is how will this present government under the leadership of Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State will succeeds, we have to succeed, we have people's governor Engineer Seyi Makinde, everybody loves him, as he has been loved ever since by the people before today and my primary assignment is to make sure this government touches the grassroot, when the grassroot benefits from his government , now they will raise governor Seyi Makinde high, his profile will go up more, I have always look for his success long ago, even before today, I never knew I will be appointed Liason Officer, I have never knew I will work with him, all I wanted was that he becomes the governor of Oyo State and thank God here we are, so to have appointed me as the Liason Officer for Egbeda/OnA Ara , I know God will assist me but my primary assignment is for his name to be growing, I want success for the governor.
So far so good, how are you prepared to go about the task ahead of you.
You know we just received the appointment letter last week, and before anything you have to go through the leaders, they know me, I went to them , talked with them and got some advice from them on how to go about it, I have consulted them and still consulting them, the last week I have been consulting those at the Federal Constituency and still have some people to touch at Egbeda and they are having their general meeting soon, when I will be introduced formally to the party hierarchy after then we will know how to move and later check on the government establishment, as we have a cut out plan.
You have been in politics for long time what gives you the faith in politics and why being consistent thus far.
