“I read with rapt attention Hon. Akinlade’s resignation letter, which came as no surprise given his track record of perfidy and betrayal. His political career has been marred by controversy, and his associations have been parasitic, driven by a relentless pursuit of power. This reputation has rendered him a political liability. Instead of mourning his departure, party faithful are celebrating the exit of a man with little to no political value, whose resignation is a predictable culmination of his history of abandoning his benefactors. Moreover, Akinlade’s jejune release was a smokescreen to conceal his failure and desperation, making it easy to conjure misleading information to gladden the hearts of his dogmatic followers, who are desperate to bury their political fortunes along with his.”
“Recall that immediately after the 2023 election, the PDP conducted a post-mortem analysis, which revealed Akinlade’s lackadaisical attitude and gluttonous behavior. He showed little to no interest in the electoral process, instead indulging in an ostentatious lifestyle, flaunting wealth derived from materials meant for party structures.”
“The offspring of his avarice led to a devastating epilogue to his political career, as it became obvious to the public that Mr. Akinlade could never be trusted with even the smallest assignment. When he realized he was becoming financially handicapped, he embarked on a series of vituperations against his benefactors, recklessly appearing on various television stations like a prodigal son.”
“Mr. Akinlade’s political career is synonymous with opportunism, as he consistently seeks opportunities to decamp when convenient. He’s left a trail of irritating attitudes in his wake. Unfortunately, as his political influence dwindles, his reputation as an untrustworthy hustler has become increasingly evident.”
“Akinlade, fearing the growing influence and presence of the PDP, likely recognized that he wouldn’t fit into the party’s new dynamics, which prompted his resignation.”
“Obviously, a schadenfreude has no place in an ambiance of growth and progress.”
“As we approach the 2027 election, the public should be cautious of opportunists like Akinlade, characterized by flaws, greed of perdition and desperation to exploit opportunities for personal gain. Those aligning with him should beware of his parasitic nature and carefully consider the tasks they entrust him with. For the wise, a word is enough.”
