On assumption of Office, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, Governor of Ogun State embarked on various white elephants projects: Building bridges, dualisation of roads as well as pedestrian bridges, some which appears to be first of it kinds. This earned the Governor Laud ovation till he succeeded in winning the 2015 election by hook or by crook.
Since he was re-elected, the State has been moving in a slow pace, running the government the way President Buhari has been running Nigeria without Ministers. Let us not that assuming Amosun started this way would have been better but a second term cannot be used to achieve selfish gains.
Saving money for the state that would not later be accounted for is totally frowned at as nothing has been achieved in the state since the start of second term except for the termination of appointment of civil servants at Education ministry.
I thought the Governor will be wise enough to appoint the teacher who wrote the story as the Commissioner for Education because he is deeply touched by the decay in education,maybe that might have warranted such comprehension. The Governor should shy away from child’s play and let a serious re-organisation began in the education sector. Sacking of workers is not the way to correct those anomalies but to worsen them.
More importantly, it is advised that the Governor move the pedestrian bridge at oke-Sokori to Panseke where it is more needed. Since the first pedestrian bridge was built. No single human being has passed there except for goats, dogs and other animals. Our Government should come to the realisation that only needed projects should be embarked on and not a project to score cheap political record.
It is therefore advised that people of Ogun State should be carried along in the administration of the state. It is not the Governors private property and the people should develop the habit of asking questions.
