In defence of “Debo Ogundoyin. “Ìgbéga Òyó” I’ve seen various critics of Rt. Hon “Debo Ogundoyin on the viral video where he’s legitimately campaigning to be the next Governor of Oyo state (The first Ibarapa Man if it’s the will of God), nobody criticized him on his legislative performance in the last eight years. His critics were pointing fingers at his below par Yoruba, though not perfect but that’s a good 6/10 which is enough to speak to the lettered & unlettered citizens across the state. And I’ll excuse Debo, a proper NEPO kid, need I educate anyone about his Dad, who died when Debo was only four years old & raised by her Igbo Mum. How do you expect his spoken Yoruba to be? For those of us who even knew him in 2018 when he first put his feet in the murky water of politics, we’ll tell you that this was a raise from 2/10 to 6/10. Criticize and engage Debo on other issues but not on his spoken Yoruba abeg; the ones who can speak Yoruba fluently, where have they led us? ‘Akin Akinbode writes from- Ile Alabi Olona, Iberekodo, Igboora, Ibarapa.

“I have what it takes to be the next Governor of Oyo State... I’m the best man to succeed Gov Seyi Makinde.” — Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin
