Sources claim the growing acceptance of the radio station has transformed Obadara into increasing darling of many who want their voice to be heard.

‘’And in the a state where the Governor and the government control the most vibrant broadcast machinery..this is a very big leverage for him’’ a source pointed out.

Though in the same political party with the governor- after Obadara retraced his steps from his ill fated sojourn into Social Democratic Party with political leader, Aremo Segun Osoba – the former Senator and the state helms man have diverse political interests.

Sources however though his defection and loss of position in the senate took away great points from his standing in and out of politics, Obadara’s radio station is fast redeeming his image.

And a pointer to this development is said to be the recent face off between workers and governor Amosun.

‘’Both sides lobbied Obadara to air their sides of the brouhaha..and with such favour comes growing influence’’ a source disclosed.

Digs by societynowng.com however have it that with his stations growing popularity and his leveraging on it to return to reckoning, Obadara is equally attempting to be his own man.

‘’he is moving out of the shadows of his political leader Aremo Osoba..he wants to be an independent player in the politics of the state rather than a bargaining chip’’ an insider revealed.

The first step in this direction was his return to APC before his mentor Aremo Osoba.

Obadara and other loyalists followed their leader to SDP in the face of intense animosity with governor Amosun, but Obadara beat a retreat immediately the devastating loss they suffered.

The crew failed to win a single seat nor retain of the electives positions they attempted to hold on to.

Insiders claim with his return and with his growing in popularity radio station as bargaining, Obarada is currently dealing directly with leaders of his party at the national level rather than go through his mentor Aremo Olusegun Osoba.
