Oyo state Chairman of the Accord party Alhaji Wahab Oyelade has berated the Governor Abiola Ajimobi led administration style of governance in the state
The Accord Chairman in a statement issued on his behalf by the state Publicity Secretary of the party Engineer Akeem Olatunji lamented to congratulate Christians on this year’s Easter celebration.
According to the Chairman, the present “APC led administration in Oyo State are believed to be committed to a culture of waste and a dogma of ego”.
“How else can we explain a situation whereby government expended several millions of public money to purchase tricycle ambulances at this jet age only to discover that non is seen around. The colossal waste of billions of Naira on Technical University at a time LAUTECH workers and lecturers are being owed several months of salary arrears leave much to be desired”he said.
Alhaji Oyelade maintained that it was unfortunate that despite the fact that “Oyo State is blessed with abundant human and material resources, including fertile arable land” it cannot supply enough can not cater for her citizens despite huge federal allocations and internally generated revenue”.
“Oyo State, one of the most endowed State with vast arable land, cannot feed its population. Oyo State, the ‘Pacesetter’ and a State that has produced many first in Nigeria and Africa is finding it difficult to meet her financial commitment to the workers, pensioners, local council staffs and the masses making the APC led administration in the State to continuously go cap in hand to Federal Government to save her from going under.”
The Accord party Chairman also alleged that “furthermore, Oyo State has been without a substantive Auditor General for the past 3 years while the State account is un-audited for the period mentioned”.
He however urged Christians in the country to spend the Easter period in sober reflections on the current situation in the country and Oyo State in particular.
