Ejigbo born Mudathir Hussayn is a politician who has had political luck smiled on him. The dude has been relevant in the political circle since 1999. He also served as a senator and just left as a member of the upper chamber in 2015. Among the three senators from Osun State, only Mudathir was denied a second term ticket so as to pave way for the emergence of Senator Isiaka Adeleke in 2015. Mudathir was named among the commissioner nominees by Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola last week.
The development attracted torrent of reactions from his base and at the state and national levels. It also became a topic for discussion in the social media. From the homefront was a complaint from those who felt he had enjoyed a good number of slots and opportunities and therefore should have allowed others have their turn. We, however, gathered that the governor insisted on the Senator as a way of encouraging him for showing loyalty to the party’s structure. ‘He left the senate seat without rocking the boat and the federal appointment has not been forthcoming; what then should be his gain for abiding by party leaders’ directives?” the source asked.
