Ogun 2019: Why I’m more qualified than Adeola, others – GNI


Governorship candidate of the Ogun State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2015, Prince Gboyega Isiaka, yesterday declared that he was the most qualified of all the gubernatorial aspirants for the 2019 election in the state.

Isiaka, who stated that he was more experienced, having contested the governorship position twice, faulted endorsement of Senator Solomon Adeola as the consensus candidate of Ogun West senatorial district for the poll. Speaking in an interview with reporters in Abeokuta, Isiaka expressed hope that the Yewa-Awori extraction would produce the successor of the incumbent governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, pointing out that he had built more formidable political structures and consequently had an edge over other contenders.

He said: “As far as I’m concerned, if we are going to have three strong candidates in 2019 for governorship, it means that the winner of that election may likely to have about 40-42 per cent and I know that on the ground of sympathy and all of that, at least, I already have about 25 per cent of that 42 per cent.

“I am definitely in a clear lead over anybody. If what you want is Ogun West for governor, I am the one. So, I am convinced that with the cooperation we had in 2015 which was better than that of 2011, I am hoping that the one of 2019 will also be better than 2015.”

Leaving your kids with their grandparents could be dangerous

Leaving your kids with their grandparents could be bad for their health and may even increase their risk of cancer, scientists have warned. Grandmothers and grandfathers spoil their grandchildren with sweet ‘treats’ and massive helpings of fattening food, a new review claims. They also allow them to laze about inside, playing video games or watching TV, instead of running around outside, it is alleged. And they reportedly tend to smoke in front of the kids, exposing their young lungs to second-hand tobacco smoke and setting a bad example. Scientists found that the risks were “unintentional”. The extraordinary claims are based on a review of research into the influence grandparents have on lifestyle factors that can sow the seeds of cancer in later life.
