Honourable Raheem Olawuyi, popularly known as Ajuloopin, member of the Federal House of Representative representing Irepodun/Isin/Ekiti/Oke-ero on the platform of the All Progressive Congress, APC in Kwara State, has withdrawn the Sienna bus he gave to the director-general of his 2023 campaign team, Rev Bunmi Olusona.
In preparation for the 2023 general election which took place a few months ago, the lawmaker gave Olusona a campaign bus, which he used to mobilise constituents and run around for the re-election of Olawuyi.
When the lawmaker gave out the Sienna bus, many believed that the bus was a gift to Olusona for manning the affairs of the lawmaker’s campaign team. Moreover, other politicians who gave out cars, buses to their campaign directors reward them with the car once they win the election.
Olawuyi did not give reasons for his action as Olusona did his job well and ensured that he was re-elected to the House of Reps. Many who witnessed the scene of the takeover were surprised and wondered why the lawmaker would condescend to the level of withdrawing the campaign vehicle. He was criticised by his constituents who knew how he also benefited from President Muhammadu Buhari’s largesse in 2019.
When President Buhari was seeking re-election, some campaign vehicles, jeeps to be specific, were distributed through the Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism, Alhaji Lai Mohammed. Olawuyi was fortunate to be one of the beneficiaries. He was given one of the jeeps and it was not withdrawn from him after President Buhari won the election.
