Osaore Aideyan is one of the newest instructors here on campus. Aideyan began his teaching journey since the beginning of this spring semester. He is currently the adjunct faculty in the Social Sciences Division. The courses he teaches are: American National Government, State and Local Government, International Relations and Independent Study.
In regards to his educational journey, he mentioned, “I will like to say that my educational travel has been very helpful in preparing me for past and current challenges in my profession.
Permit me to say that I am blessed to be among the very few in academia whose learning, teaching, and research experiences spans many years, across two continents and every region of the United States with the exception of the South.”
He went on to add, “My academic training is interdisciplinary – drawing insights from various disciplines and approaches in the social sciences in my efforts to understand individual/collective experiences, political structures, policies and cultural systems.”
Regarding the trends that he observed on the local, state and federal level, he drew to a conclusion that “In the past years, beginning with the most recent year (2022) which was a non-presidential election year, primary elections could be considered as even less competitive as most state legislatures had a field day corrupting the electoral process with the re-drawing of electoral maps to position their parties for more seats in Congress, State Legislatures and other local elective positions.”
He witnessed “With very unreliable polls and poor analysis these past few elections, across all three levels of government, most credible experts (I am pitching my tents with them) will tell you this – it is going to be an exciting season because almost every attentive voter is decided on who to cast their votes for. In the same way voter turnout (especially of the base) will be key to successful campaigns.”
He observed “The most important trend in the past general elections dating back to 2008 is the unpredictable outcomes of these elections. This becomes a key constant as the electorate becomes more and more diverse, and more people get involved in social media activities that are political in nature. Come to think of it, is there anything that is not used for political ends in our country today?”
Remember to vote for the upcoming presidential election by November 5, which is Election and it falls on the first Tuesday of November. Take advantage of early voting to beat out the long lines and crowds on Election Day. Your one vote can determine who gets into office on a local, state and federal level. If you do not vote at all, you do not have a right to complain about the shortcomings of the current person in office.
