Many are agreed that the allure of politics is strong. Whether for money or for power and influence, political office is a bride to court eternally, particularly for those who have tasted it. That is why the recent moves by Princess Oladunni Odu from her self-imposed exile would not come as a surprise to many observers.
The former top shot in the government of Ondo State is planning a comeback. This time, she wants to go to the Senate come 2015. How this would pan out in the long run remains to be seen, considering Odu’s withering political influence in the state.
Few years ago, her influence in the state was overwhelming as the Chairperson of Ondo State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB). That was during the administration of the late former Governor Olusegun Agagu. Nobody would have thought that any hurricane could sweep the lawyer-turned-politician off the state’s political space. But now, not a few fear that the former Commissioner of Education during military era in the state might have seen her best days in politics.
Before now, she had been courted by any government in power in the contemporary history of Ondo politics.
