In 2016 Senator Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja made him the Accord Party Youth Leader in Oyo State and in 2017 he became the PDP Youth Leader Oyo State under the leadership of High Chief Senator Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja.
In 2018 June, he followed his leader Senator Ladoja to ADC because of loyalty and sacrifice. During that time the present governor of Oyo State Engineer Seyi Makinde and Hon Dare Adeleke approached him to come to PDP, he went back to meet his capacity leader Senator Ladoja to allow him go back to PDP.
Thank God, Baba Ladoja didn’t object. Governor Seyi Makinde promised him heaven and earth, he started the struggle back as the PDP Youths Leader, Oyo State, he mobilized youths across the 33 local governments, with the supports of the National Youth Council Oyo State and various youths group. God answer their prayers.
In 2019, PDP won the gubernatorial, Engineer Seyi Makinde became the Governor Oyo State, the Governor appointed four youths that didn’t participate in the struggle as commissioner of youths, SA youths, SA students, and SA sports.
In 2019, out of love for Engineer Seyi Makinde and their beloved party PDP, they went to Abuja with like minded youths to support governor at the supreme court judgement. The judgement was in PDP favour and they became victorious. On their way back to Ibadan, they had a terrible accident. Asiwaju Adekola lost a beloved brother Yemi likedat and Asiwaju Adekola sustained a terrible injury in his neck and only God spared his life.
The governor met with the late Prince Tunji Adeoye, father of PDP Youths Leader of Oyo State severally at the midnight before the elections. The governor didn’t see late Prince Adeoye again until October 2020. The governor went back to late Prince Adeoye house to beg him and promise to give appointments to his followers. No appointment was given to the late Prince Adeoye group.
Unexpectedly, Baba Adeoye died on February 18, 2020. Baba Adeoye died of the struggle, frustration and disappointment. Asiwaju Adekola Adeoye was not happy with what happened to his dad after working for the success of this present government. Is it a crime to be important in the society? They want to render him useless just for the sake of being the youths leader, he collects 85,000 to 100,000 as salary.
On April 15 during the PDP Zonal Congress, Asiwaju Adekola Adeoye decided to vote for Chief Eddy Olafeso as the PDP Vice Chairman of South West. During the Congress, many things happened, it is a story for another day. Since the congress, some PDP leaders started calling him different names, they excluded him from Oyo State PDP Campaign Team and stopped his 85,000 salary. Asiwaju Adekola Adeoye needs to secure his future now.
What a story of loyalty, promise and betrayal…
