House of Reps Member, Abayomi Ogunnusi Sets Up Killer Squad In Lagos

In preparation towards the 2015 general elections, which he pointedly described as a ‘do or die’ affair, a member of the lower chamber of parliament, Otunba Abayomi Michael Ogunnusi is alleged to have set up a 28-man hit squad, to ward off attacks from his opponents and equally punch out the hard lined oppositions, who poses threat on his quest to return as the representative of the people of Ifako-Ijaye Federal Constituency
On Sunday, January 5, 2014, Hon Abayomi Ogunnusi was at Excellence Hotels, Ogba in Lagos, where he personally interviewed 70 shortlisted candidates, who had gathered to be part of the alleged snipping team known as ILABE HIT SQUAD. And, he was ably assisted in picking the 28-member team by the duo of the Vice Chairman of Ifako- Ijaye local government, Hon Babatunde Ishola, who is widely known as B.I.Q and another ruthless fellow simply identified as Land cruiser. Insiders claimed the hit squad members were picked across the wards in the federal constituency [from Ifako-Ijaye local government and Ojokoro Local Council Development Area]
Otunba Yomi Ogunnusi, who is popularly known as Ilabe by his friends and associates, we gathered, has vowed to make the squad an elite counter offensive super crew. Also, the 48 year old chartered accountant turned politician is said to have budgeted the sum of N100, 000 monthly salaries for each member of the squad. On the day they were recruited, the University of Lagos trained accountant, who is presently a member of the House of Representatives standing committees on finance, human rights, justice and urban development, gladly dashed out the sum of 28, 000 naira each to the 70 shortlisted candidates that was interviewed.
Born on October 10, 1965, the garrulous politician, who was recently disowned and pelted with ‘pure water’ sachet by the same people he claimed to represent, decided to set up the hit squad on the premise that he will not stand to be disgrace again by any person or group of persons, as he moves in his mission to retain the representatives seat at all cost. Ilabe hit squad, we further learnt, is to be corporately kitted and also equipped with necessary modern tools to work with.
Apart from his total quest for the representatives’ seat, Hon Abayomi Ogunnusi, who is known to reside outside his constituency, is equally said to have pitched the chairman of Ifako-Ijaye local government, Apostle Oloruntoba Oke and his lieutenant, Hon Babatunde  Ishola[B.I.Q], who is the Vice Chairman, in battle. The lawmaker, who claimed to have legislative interest in public accounts, is alleged to have mandated his ‘boy’ BIQ, to challenge Hon Oloruntoba Oke for the chairmanship seat. And, this move is said to have created enmity between the chairman and the vice chairman.
Political insiders however revealed to this journal that no matter what the leadership of the All Progressive Congress [APC] does in picking the party’s flag bearer, one thing that is already concluded between the APC faithful and the electorates is that Otunba Ogunnusi is certainly not the best representative of the people of Ifako-Ijaye federal constituency. In a release made available to us by the group known as League of Ifako Ijaye Professionals [LIIPS], the group averred that Hon Abayomi Ogunnusi is the worst candidate to have represented the people in this representative democracy. ‘’ Since 1999, we have never had it so bad. Even, when Hon Femi Onimole abandoned the vehicle that took him to the green chamber, it wasn’t this bad. Our people certainly deserve the best, and the best we shall get’’ the statement said.
