Dey 4 Who Dey 4 You: How Oshiomhole Continues To Stand By The Masses, Back To Back

This week started on a positive note online, as former Edo State Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, once again gave Nigerians renewed reasons for optimism and hope. The internet buzzed with praise for Oshiomhole’s performance in the red chambers, where he once more reassured the masses of their safety and well-being.

As many are aware, the phrase “Dey 4 Who Dey 4 You” has become a popular slogan for the new year, with many adopting it as part of their resolutions. But the question arises: How long will we continue supporting those who do not have our best interests at heart? How long will we reach out to those who seem unreachable, only for them to approach us when they need something? How long will we tolerate people who stand with us only when it’s convenient for them, but disappear when we seek their support?

This brings us to the highlight of today’s message: Adams Oshiomhole continues to show that he stands with the people. Earlier this week, his name trended once again after his strong performance in a recent budget defense session. Oshiomhole raised significant concerns about the questionable spending practices of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), particularly questioning the N850 million allocated for security, cleaning, and fumigation in 2024. He argued that this substantial amount could have been better spent on addressing the immediate needs of students, particularly orphans. Oshiomhole’s position reflects his long-held belief that governance must always prioritize the welfare of the people.

Oshiomhole’s scrutiny of JAMB’s expenditures is just one example of his ongoing commitment to advocating for transparency, efficiency, and accountability in governance. Throughout his career—as a labor leader, governor, party chairman, and now as a senator—he has consistently proven that his focus is always on serving the people. Whether addressing federal issues or questioning the operations of agencies like JAMB, his unwavering stance is to protect the interests of the masses. His recent remarks at the National Assembly reaffirm his dedication to championing the rights of the people, embodying the spirit of “Dey for Who Dey for You.”

By holding institutions accountable, Oshiomhole is demonstrating that governance is more than just holding office—it is about ensuring that public resources are used wisely and for the benefit of the people. This advocacy emphasizes his ongoing commitment to the masses, underscoring that he remains a true representative of the people at every level of governance.

As we enter 2025, Nigerians must wake up and start asking questions. Ask your leaders: What are they doing for you? What kind of representation are they offering? Whether in the executive, judiciary, legislative, corporate world, community, or even within your own circle, remember the message: “Dey for Who Dey for You.” This is 2025—don’t play.
