Indecisive GNI On A Crossroad To End His Political Journey


One of the Ogun West Senatorial aspirant, Gboyega Nasir Isiaka popularly called GNI has reportedly shelve his ambition to represent his Senatorial District to contest for House of Representatives position to represent Yewa North/Imeko Afon Federal Constituency.

If the information about GNI running for House of Representatives ticket is anything to go by, he will be struggling the ticket with about five aspirants
from the federal constituency,
including Hon. Kayode Oladele, Rt. Hon. Suraju Adekunbi, Wasiu Isiaka (Nasir's brother), Tope Kuyebi and the incumbent Reps of the region, Hon. Jimoh Olaifa.

Hon. Kayode Oladele who represented the federal constituency between 2015-3019 was the was the Chairman of the House of Representatives' Committee on Financial Crimes of the 8th Assembly in the green chamber., Rt. Honourable Suraju Adekunbi the immediate Ogun state House of Assembly speaker is also a formidable aspirant in the race

Others, include the incumbent Reps, Hon. Jimoh Olaifa who run on the same platform of African Democratic Congress, ADC with GNI in 2019 general elections, Engr. Tope Kuyebi and Alhaji Wasiu Isiaka who is a sibling to the three time gubernatorial candidate.

It is yet to be clear why a prominent political figure like GNI who has contested for the number one seat of Gateway state to jettison the idea of representing the region he has always used as his selling point at every election year to muscle with those who at one point or the other are his lieutenants within the political space.

Speaking on the matter, a member of the All Progressives Congress who prefers to be anonymous said "until I see him during the primary day vying for House of Representatives ticket, I will like to keep mute on the matter".
Also, an aide to one of the HoR aspirants in the Constituency claimed "GNI is not and cannot run for House of Representatives ticket with already too many aspirants. How did he want to have his ways. But it is what it is in politics, anything can happen."


Hon. Akeem from Igbogila while reacting to the news said "Gboyega Nasir Isiaka has over the times been accused of being an overambitious individual who can go to any length to achieve his personal interest. So, if anyone is coming to tell me he is now joining force against his own blood brother and other party men that have signified interest in House of Representatives, I wish him well."

"Maybe he has seen the handwriting on the board that he is not in the contest of who becomes the Senator among other three contenders, Senator Olamilekan Adeola, Senator Tolu Odebiyi and Hon. Abiodun Isiaq Akinlade. Of course, his CV cannot match any of those mentioned above in legislative matter and other matters of governance."

Good for him!

GNI is indeed a confused man.

From contesting governorship elections in Ogun State in 2011 and 2015 under the Peoples Party of Nigeria (PPN) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) respectively, to now struggling for Senatorial ticket with political heavy weights like Solomon Adeola, Tolu Odebiyi and Isiaq Akinlade and now going lower to settle for House of Rep ticket only shows he doesn't know what he wants.
