GNI’s Snub Of Yewaland Paramount Ruler Sparks Controversy, Raises Questions Over Political Intent
By Oludare Joshua
Ogun State politician Gboyega Nasir Isiaka, popularly known as GNI, has stirred controversy after bypassing the paramount ruler of Yewaland to hold a meeting with selected traditional rulers in the Yewa/Awori region.
The move has drawn sharp criticism and raised questions about his political motives, with observers suggesting it may be an attempt to create divisions among the Yewa traditional council or a desperate bid to regain political relevance.
GNI’s political history, marked by frequent party defections and internal discord, has preceded him, casting doubt on the sincerity of his recent engagements.
During the meeting, handshakes were exchanged, photographs taken, and assurances offered to GNI. However, seasoned observers of Ogun State politics remain skeptical, viewing the move as a repetition of a familiar political script.
Critics have described GNI as a visionless politician lacking a concrete development agenda for the people. His pattern of party-hopping has further fueled public distrust and raised persistent questions about his underlying intentions.
Despite his efforts to re-engage with traditional institutions and reshape his political image, GNI’s track record remains defined by unfulfilled promises and unmet expectations, leaving many unconvinced of his capacity to deliver meaningful change.
