Kwara inspired Otoge takes over Nigeria

-


The wind of Otoge movement (Enough is Enough) in Kwara State is currently blowing all across Nigeria to an extent that other opposition states in the country are adopting the slogan to advance their quest for freedom and political emancipation.

After the 2015 election, Leading Pro-Democracy group in Kwara popularly known as Kwara Must Change (KMC) has been leading the charge to liberate Kwara State from oppression and the grip of Bukola Saraki led dynasty.

The group, along with others did a lot in terms of creating massive sensitization and the result is the unrivaled awareness of the people of Kwara, giving birth to the OTOGE movement.

Since the adoption of OTOGE as the slogan by All Progressive Congress (APC) in Kwara State, the ruling dynasty has been running here and there to slow down the unstoppable growth of the opposition, but like a moving train, the OTOGE movement is unstoppable until victory is attained.

At first, it was just Kwarans in different state of the federation that are joining the political revolution back home by hosting their own rally in their respective states of residence such as Lagos, Kaduna, Abuja, Portharcourt and others.

However, the potency of OTOGE (Enough is Enough) has now moved beyond Kwara and Kwarans alone. Other states are now adopting the Kwara inspired OTOGE as a political slogan to signify the resolution of their people to take over their states.

In Delta State for example, analysts argued that, it is no longer about ‘whether APC and Chief Great Ogboru can deliver’; it is now about the ‘quality of what Ogboru will deliver to the good people of Delta State’.

In a recent article titled Otoge land in Delta, Constitutional Lawyer, Felix Eshalomi stated that the whirlwind of ‘OTOGE’ rents the air all over Nigeria; a chant meaning ‘Enough is Enough’ popularised by Kwara State APC governorship candidate Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq.

A taste of something new; something better; something refined – Ogboru offers all and tops it up with a taste of quality. Therefore in Delta State, we also say ‘Enough is Enough’ OTOGE! He said.

While Deltans are chanting OTOGE, despite being a non-Yoruba speaking state, Gombe State in North East also joined the OTOGE chanting state to express their solidarity with Kwara eminent freedom.

As Kwarans prepare for this historic victory against political oppression of the Saraki dynasty, I foresee a future where OTOGE shall be the reference point of every state of the federation in their quest for political victory emancipation.

Abdulrazaq O Hamzat is the president of Kwara Must Change

5 facts about O TO GE slogan and the collapse of Saraki's dynasty

-

Kwara Must Change 1. Alh. LAK Jimoh was the first politician in modern history of Kwara state to use the O TO GE slogan in a campaign. O TO GE simply means, Enough is Enough.  Alhaji Jimoh first used the slogan in 2011 when he was contesting the Kwara Central Senatorial seat under the People's Democratic Party (PDP). Bukola Saraki eventually won the ticket and went ahead to represent Kwara Central at the Senate.  While the slogan wasn't popular at the time, there's no taking away the fact that Alh LAK Jimoh used it first and could be rightly credited to be the originator. 2. 8 years later, the slogan idea was pitched again in 2018 immediately after the All Progressive Congress primary election in Kwara State. After the APC primary election, Islamic singer, Aminat Obirere produced a song titled o to ge as part of a joint album coordinated by Kwara Must Change to promote the candidature of APC governorship candidate, Alh. Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq. The album itself was titled

Lagos before Nigeria By Abdulrazaq O Hamzat

More than 50 years before the creation of Nigeria as a united entity, Lagos is already a major centre of modern civilisation. Lagos history is rich in Yoruba tradition, trade and commerce, infrastructural development and cosmopolitanism." -EXTRACTED In the past few days, i have followed the unhealthy debate between easterners in Lagos and their host and i must say that such is really uncalled for. No tribe or race is an island of knowledge and civilisation. At one time or the other, each one of them contributed in one way or the other. While it is proper for every one to feel good about themselves and try as much as possible to amplify in a good way, their importance and contribution to the society they live in, it is also very crucial to take into account, the reality of other factors without attempting to ridicule the contribution of others. I therefore advise all those joining the discuss to thread with caution and avoid things that are capable of setting our peop

United States of America may be better than Nigeria in many ways, but there are also areas Nigeria is better than U.S. I have compiled just 15 of them for a start. Read and leave your comment. 1. Intelligence and smartness Nigerians are the most intelligent people in the world. Yes, they are the smartest you find anywhere in the world. However, the problem with intelligent and smart people is that, in anything they do, their intelligence and smartness come to play and others in the same circle hardly match their rare skills. In business, they will be intelligent and smart, in education, they will be intelligent and smart, in music and entertainment, they will be intelligent and smart and also in criminality, they will be intelligent and smart. As we all know, negative stories sells faster than anything else and this explains why Nigerian criminals are also world famous for their craft. Nigerian criminals, particularly the internet scammers are not in any way more dangerous than
