The popular jibe thrown at Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun by All Progressives Congress Primary (APC) presidential flagbearer Bola Tinubu appears to have become a title that has stuck.
Recall that on June 3, during a presidential campaign rally in Abeokuta, Tinubu slammed Abiodun, referring to him as “Eleyi” (this one), to prove that he (Abiodun) would not have become governor without his help.
On Tuesday, Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi while introducing guests at the mega governorship rally of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state said he was told that he did not introduce Abiodun properly as the “Eleyi of Ogun state”.
“I have just been informed that I did not properly introduce governor Dapo Abiodun as the Eleyi of Ogun state,” Fayemi said.
Following Fayemi’s witty introduction, the audience erupted in laughter, and Fuji king Wasiu Ayinde used the title ‘Eleyi’ to compose a political song on the same theme (Eleyi).
