Oyo APC Commiserates With Victims Of Akesan Inferno, Advises Oyo Govt. To Be Proactive |OGBOMOSO INFO|



The All Progressive Congress (APC), Oyo State Chapter has sympathize with the victims of Akasan Fire outbreak.The condolence message was contained in a released statement made available to newsmen in Ibadan on Sunday by the party state publicity secretary, Mr. AbdulAzeez Olatunde
Statement reads:
PRESS RELEASE :COMMISERATION WITH THE VICTIMS OF RECURRING INFERNO AND ADVISE TO OYO STATE GOVERNMENT TO BE PROACTIVE.
It’s very unfortunate that this is the same Governor Seyi Makinde who was always out to be counted as the lover and defender of the masses when he was in OPPOSITION whenever such natural disasters struck in the past that has now found it difficult to empathise and commiserate with the Victims of repeated INFERNO in the state.
It is terribly unfortunate that the INFERNO is following one another, from Ẹyin Grammar Molete Ibadan where three (3) kids were lost to the inferno on Friday 3rd of January 2020, to the Furniture stores around Iyaganku axis in Ibadan, which was razed down to rubble by the INFERNO and also another conflagrating INFERNO that razed AKESAN MARKET in Oyo town in early morning of Sunday 5th of January 2020, where Millions of Naira worth of Goods were lost to the INFERNO.
The most embarrassing aspect of the situation is that, this was how FLOOD ravaged Olodo community in LAGELU LG of Ibadan, where many lives were also lost in September 2019, yet with No word of empathy from Oyo State Government led by H.E, Engr Seyi Makinde.
When APC was advising the Government of Engr Seyi Makinde to focus on Governance, the hiatus of NO Harmattan sensitization are some of the areas crying for attention but which Oyo State Government FAILED WOEFULLY to be proactive about, but instead got itself preoccupied with their diabolical agenda of how to discredit its predecessor.
We would have expected the Government to role out repeated sensitization in all the media channels available in Oyo State, rolling out emergency OYO STATE FIRE SERVICES lines.
Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NIMET) has been commending Oyo State Government under H.E,Sen Abiola Ajimobi for many years because of his Government proactiveness in Dredging the Rivers across Oyo State before Raining Seasons and continuous and repeated announcements of dedicated FIRE SERVICES lines just before the Harmattan periods after having repeated restock of its CONSUMABLES, all of which have disappeared within months of exit of APC Government from power.
“Effective leadership is not about making speeches to be liked, leadership is defined by results” – Peter Drucker.
Finally, we urge H.E ,Engr Seyi Makinde to find a way of giving palliative to the victims of the INFERNO through Oyo State Emergency Relief Management Agency (OYSEMA) and also henceforth provide for the CONSUMABLES needs by Oyo State Fire Services, to be effective in their obligatory duties.
Also sensitization advertorial should be rolled out and placed across all the Media channels in Oyo State to salvage the rest of the Harmattan Season and forestall further occurrence.

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...
