Nothing can disturb the blissful repose of Attacker for he has left us constantly entertained.
The scale of his projects is beyond the remedy of prayers.
God was not distracted by the voices of spiritual pastors but the same God created Attacker in fascination.
Attacker went fifty-fifty on democratic dividends, and sustained the charged atmosphere of people’s expectations.
We have had our constituencies in webbed faces when we carried interminable bickering.
I know of that time when our constituencies were thrown into embarrassing encounters.
Attacker came and drew us far off the war to sweet, boisterous exchanges and flying miracles.
A new world for Ifelodun, as he gingered the construction of the first city stadium in Ago-Iwoye, facing the corner of Mini campus.
I took to wondering if Attacker had legacy project(s), that could make us eternally glued.
Attacker gingered the constructions of,
-Ultra Modern Jetty, Oni,
-Federal Jetty at Iwopin, Ogun Waterside LGA,
-Ijebu-Igbo Heritage Center (Orimolusi Palace),
-Senator Buruji Kashamu Skill Acquisition Centre,
-Madam Efunse’ke International Infertility,
-Maternity Hospital, (An Annex of Federal Medical Centre, Abeokuta), Ako, Ago-Iwoye,
-Imushin-Ajina Shopping Mall, Ijebu-Imushin.
Attacker created some consternation of projects which were outside of his Federal Constituencies such as the Multimillionaire Cardio thoracic Center, FMC, Idi-Aba, Abeokuta, Renovation of The Main Hostel Ijebu-Ode Grammar School, Reconstruction of Assembly Hall of St’ Barnabas’ Primary School, Oku-owa, Odogbolu, amongst others.
It was not just the mentioned projects, though they gave off their own sticky perfumes, in addition to making life easy for the people, Attacker built and provided numberless schools, community health centers, urban rehabilitations, rural roads’ grading, community hall constructions, community erosion measures, rural and urban water works, markets’ development, information and communication technological skills and acquisitions, solar electrification, riverine areas’ development, religious centers’ construction, employment and training acquisition and skills amongst others.
Similar literary appositive had been comprehensively prostrated in https://ijebunewsxtra.com/2022/07/12/politics-of-surplus-value-and-why-attacker-is-the-chosen-one-by-seun-sobola/, fashioned in good-language, bantering in accustomed homage and mollified by ‘the Chosen One!’
To recover from the onslaught of Attacker’s achievements and his truly orientating gestures to our constituencies is to see a hawker’s lyrics of leaf-wrapped moin moin resounding in every part of Ijebu-North, Ijebu-East and Ogun Waterside Federal Constituencies.
Our teeth are now cut on hot robo, hard-fried of crushed lemon seeds, and on sweetened guguru and ẹpa and making our fate tinned sardines from Portugal and corned beef from Argentina. Perhaps if mixed with bread, that would have fully justified the name of Attacker whose humanitarian version it proudly bore.
Another name for Attacker is attraction. That man who gives foods, even clothing, other times, a man who is a subject of attention, good-nurtured, teasing and goodness in Ogun State.
