There is no doubt that the political atmosphere in Oyo state is witnesing the raging debacle of purported withdrawal of Engr Dotun Sanusi from the 2027 gubernatorial race versus the people’s resolve to have him as the their governor , irrespective of his own stance.
This situation however one looks at it ,should serve as a lesson to the political class ,that the need to always stand with their people cannot be over-emphasized.
Chief Dotun Sanusi has passionately remained on the side of the masses ,addressing their plight and tackling their problems in multifarious ways.He has taken up the gauntlet to put smiles on the faces of the suffering masses every moment of existence,his focus has always been on how people can be salvaged from this socio-economic plague ,that are making life unbearable for his people .
These were the basis of his successful businesses established,the design of his “ILAJI Hotels & Sport Resorts” and other huge investments, from the real perspective wĂ s not to rake in volumes of profits as may be viewed,but simply to put food on the tables of families of others and furthermore, to accelerate the physical infrastructure of the areas of locations .All design showing his undying passion for the goodness of his people.
To his people ,who continue to savoir the sweet fruits of ILAJI ‘s undying philanthropic gestures,the only appreciation and acknowledgement for such a man,who stands out with such impacts is the ” Governorship Seat ” as being loudly clamoured.
The incontrovertible point is that Chief Dotun Sanusi himself, never indulged in those array of socio economic positive contributions for political reasons and would not bulge to run away from the call to have him occupy the Governorship Seat .
Lo and behold,those who truly desire the Governorship are out with the theory of “Let Dotun Sanusi stick 🍡 to his philanthropic deeds and steer clear of any political involvement
“.They are simply afraid to face the humongous love being demonstrated by the people to have the man,Engr. Dotun Sanusi,whom they already see as their own ,not only with the reward of OYO GOVERNORSHIP ,but a better avenue to be in charge of our collective resources.
JDS has definitely carved a niche of trust ,that cannot be obliterated in the hearts of millions of Oyo state residents,who have seen honesty and integrity in someone deserved to be saddled with the Governorship responsibility come 2027.

The machination of the purported withdrawal wether designed by him on manipulation or by those ,who are afraid of his joining the race for Agodi government House ,come 2027,are simply insignificant to the more resolute masses ,who continue to echo their strong desire of JDS Governorship ,no matter what .
The situation is a clear postulation that leadership is of God and He is the only one ,in “His” infinite power ,that gives to whoever, He so pleased,and in this case from all writings,”Dotun Sanusi ” may have been ENDORSED by the Heavens for the herculian task of Oyo Governorship.
