Ajimobi To Makinde: Stop Listening To Rumours, Complete What I Couldn't |OGBOMOSO INFO|



The Immediate past governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi has said that the claim by his successor, Governor Seyi Makinde, that he moved facility from Jericho Specialist Hospital to Commission the Olodo hospital.

Reacting to the Makinde’s allegation, Ajimobi through his spokesman, Mr. Bolaji Tunji said his administration had the most robust health programme for the state.
He said:”It is a known fact that with as low as N1000 you can enjoy health facilities in the state. It is on the basis of the need to make health services available to the people l, the health insurance scheme was launched.

“Our health plan was so robust that other states sent representatives to understudy this. In any case, the Ajimobi administration has laid a great foundation that we expect the Seyi Makinde administration to build upon.

“It gladdens the heart that the governor acknowledged the fact that the project was 80 percent completed, no one administration can complete all projects, governance is a continuum.

“We expect Governor Makinde to complete what we could not complete as the Ajimobi administration completed projects it met on ground on assumption of office. It is rather unfortunate that the governor said the equipment from Jericho was taken to Olodo.

“One then wonders where His Excellency got this information. Probably hear say again, which has been the hallmark of the administration since it assumed office. In any case Olodo is part of Oyo State.
“Is the governor saying the people there are less citizens of Oyo state and are undeserving of good health care and facilities?.”

Akudaaya: Tinubu, Abacha and Shettima’s Theory of Ruthless Leadership | Festus Adedayo

  OPINION By Festus ADEDAYO In what seems to affirm that he wears controversies like apparel, vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Party (APC), Kashim Shettima, leapt into yet another at the twilight of last week. On Thursday at the 96th-anniversary celebration of the Yoruba Tennis Club in Ikoyi, Lagos state, Shettima was quoted to have said that Nigeria needed the “hospitality” of General Sani Abacha, Nigeria’s despotic military ruler; Nigeria’s own contribution to the list of infamous rulers who ruled the world with infernal ruthlessness. As the controversy over what he actually said raged, Shettima came out with a clarification: He actually said that in 2023, Nigeria needed a president who possessed “a dose of ruthlessness and taciturnity”. Nigerians have since been engaged in dissecting what lay atop the mind of a man who could be the country’s vice president. “We need a leader with a dose of ruthlessness and taciturnity of General Sani Abacha… Nice men do not ma...

Oyo Speaker Meets Senate Leadership, Deliberates State Assembly, LG Autonomy |OGBOMOSO INFO|

The Speaker of the 9th Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin met the Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan to deliberate issues around financial autonomy for States Assembly and local governments. The brief meeting which was held yesterday after a national legislative assignment in Abuja, it’s considered necessary to improve cooperation between the National Assembly (Nigerian Senate and House of Representatives) and the State legislative arm. According to Ogundoyin, the wide gap between the National and the State assembly needs to be bridged to ensure that the common interest of the people are genuinely and adequately represented. He noted that the local government and State Assembly are closer to the people, saying the financial autonomy is essential towards meeting grassroot needs and making the State lawmakers run their legislative duties without hindrances. He said, “The distinguished Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan is a stakeholder in the nation...

LAUTECH: Solving One Problem But Creating Another |Adewuyi Adegbite

    By Adewuyi Adegbite The sole ownership of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso (LAUTECH) by Oyo State is a welcome development. Joint ownership of the institution by Oyo and Osun states has culminated into protracted crises in the institution, which has had telling effects on the students, the staff and its rating as the best state university in Nigeria as well as the relationship between the owner states. Thus, the taking over of the institution by the Oyo State Government is applauded by all and sundry as a pragmatic way of engendering peace. However, the report credited to the Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde that the institution would be run as a multi-campus is sad news for all Ogbomoso indigenes as well as lovers of justice. I wish to advise the Oyo State Government to reconsider the idea in the interest of peaceful coexistence among the various zones of the state, which is homogenous. Numerically and population-wise, Ogbomoso geo-political zo...
