Dear sir,

We are compelled to respond to the idle group of hungry politicians and busy bodies calling themselves Orisun Igbomina. But we are quick to make a clear distinction between this group of boot-lickers and the Egbe Omo Ibile Igbomina which is an association of hardworking and illustrious Igbomina sons and daughters worldwide.

The former's President, one Gbenga Awoyale, was quoted in an online paper as saying that opposition parties especially ACN are dead in Kwara State. Such a claim belongs in the category of those made by their paymasters who now turn around to blame their incompetence and tumbling rating on the opposition which they claim does not exist.

Whilst we concede this double speak to this opportunistic group and its sponsors, we pick holes in its definition of what opposition is. Its President believes that opposition party leaders must sit perpetually in Kwara State playing politics to be recognised as opposition leaders. We are not surprised at this definition because it forms the core of their amala political ideology.

Our leaders especially M D Belgore, SAN is a professional in politics who co-run one of Nigeria's most successful law firms with good record abroad. He is in politics to lead a crusade for a Kwara redeemed from claws of corruption, bad governance and opportunism orchestrated by no other persons than the sponsors of this shameless Orisun Igbomina. Whether they like it or not, Kwara people are seeing the light and sooner than these shameless saboteurs think our dear state will be free.

Our leaders are not jobless people who wait to rape people's resources. While they continue to coordinate opposition to the misrule and poor governance in the state and strategise for enthronement of people-oriented government back home, our leaders would continue to work as professionals. Leaders Kwara needs at this stage are tested managers of men and resources with independent source of income, not some economic parasites not known for any success at their calling.
