Saka Balogun To Makinde: There is need for Elders Committee In Oyo Government |Ogbomoso Info



Over the controversies in the People’s Democratic Party, PDP in Oyo state, Dr. Saka Balogun, a reputable party leader in the state has appealed to the concerned people, the PDP fold to embrace peace, while he also cautioned Oyo state governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde of one man’s decision method, agitating for a need of Elders Committee.
Dr. Saka Balogun explained explicitly to Double A Exclusive Media that, Gov. Makinde has more of campaign experience but not having enough government runnings experience, therefore shows the need for Elders Committee.
“I have no problem on all his appointment, he is doing good but he needs to allow more hands in his decision making particularly the elders of the party needs to be carried along the more in his government. Makinde is only using the operational guide of how he runs his business to run the government which is not the best. There is need for Elders Committee” He said.
In his reaction to Alhaji Rasheed Adebisi Olopoeniyan’s statement , Balogun expressed his satisfaction over the issue but only to be displeased with where he made his words known.
According to him, Olopoeyan indeed worked for Makinde both in the day and night and therefore makes it unfair if Makinde will not allow him to be part of his government. “Olopoeyan should have made made his grievance know internally rather than making it public”.
Yet, the issues will be resolved in no time as we are working towards peace.
“Olopoeyan needs to be very careful not to dismantle the house he has built rather to embrace peace and allow more patience.
He therefore advised Olopoeyan and other PDP leaders not to be bothered with whatever proceeds out of Auxiliary’s mouth as he had proven to be of low status in speech and in actions.
Hence, he pledged to support the move to build a better PDP and not to embrace any form of things fall apart with unnecessary in-house issues.

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...
