Like a powerful whirlwind that defies all manner of repression and suppression,the political voyage of Pharmacist Onimisi Joseph Adeiza has gathered momentum in Kogi Central, and gets properly underway.
To the plebes and proles, it was nothing short of frenetic and frenzied beatitude, blessedness and felicity as they heaved deep sighs of reliefs that a man with peculiar larger heart to embolden their plights is gradually getting into the mix of the governance of their affairs.
To the cynics, misanthropes and naysayers however, it was much to their chagrins.
They questioned the reason a soft-spoken, softhearted and gap-toothed handsome young man of medical background, who is unquestionably doing well for himself, like Pharm Onimisi Joseph Adeiza is delving into the deep end of murky,dirty and profane water of politics.
Alas, little were they able to however discern the reality of the fact that nothing is absolutely wrong, dirty, murky,dusky, gloomy or sombre about politics, rather the attitudes,demeanors and departments of the political actors or politicians.
Politics doesn’t make people bad, wicked, corrupt and insensitive overnight, thus bad or insensitive politicians are products of lack of innate and natura moral standards, character, empathy and integrity.
On the contrary, in Pharmacist Onimisi Joseph Adeiza lies the heart of gold,with the true value of kindness.
A golden heart with a beacon of love, guiding him towards compassion and understanding.
He has a heart full of love and kindness that is the true treasure of life.
His heart is always open and ready to embrace others with love and reverence in convivial embrace, regardless of ethnic, clannish, religious and political affiliations; the attributes that have the striking semblance with that of late Ebira sage, AT Ahmed of blessed memory.

His golden heart of empathy, bigheartedness, warmheartedness,softheartedness, largeheartedness and compassion for the commoners and plebeians had sadly been the missing jigsaw amongst our current crop of politicians.
On the two soldiers of Pharmacist Onimisi Joseph Adeiza lie the festooned epaulettes of the commoners’ burdens and lumbers.
Widows since 2015 are on his payroll till date, while also giving out scholarships to the children of the poor who could not afford the tuition of higher institutions.
He used his God’s given opportunities to optimize the transfer of wealth opportunity, through increased community giveback and use those funds to advance wealth building opportunities and community prosperity, by engaging the youth in skills-learning schemes.
Pharm Adeiza’s kind philanthropy rests beautifully on the tripod of relief, improvement, and social reform.
He volunteers to maximize his efforts see how he can donate his time or skills to better the lives of the people of his community and Ebiraland as a whole.
He renovated a health center in collaboration with other prominent indigenes of his community, donated poles for the rural electrification of an electricity project, singlehandedly take the responsibility of paying every corp members that are posted to his community high school from 2015 till date.

No one should get me wrong please as I’m not canonizing this young man with the celestial robe of sainthood. Yes, Pharmacist Adeiza is not a saint, neither is he infallible or impeccable, but Ebiraland should be agog in celebration and merriments that this noble,regal and princely man of integrity,probity, honesty,decency and character is coming into the politics of our land.
Watch out for this pace called Pharmacist Onimisi Joseph Adeiza.
