Gov. Oyinlola•Advised To Resign For Being Clueless

PEOPLES Welfare League (PWL) a socio-political and professional group based in Osogbo, has taken Osun State Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola to the cleaners over a statement credited to him that his administration is so broke to the extent of paying workers’ salaries with banks’ over-draft.

It would be recalled that Oyinlola, during his monthly media chat last Saturday, disclosed that the state’s financial status was in a mess, a situation that has forced the government to resorting to paying its workers through overdraft every month, arguing that the funds accruing to the coffers of the government was so meagre that it could not be sufficient enough to beautify Osogbo alone as a state capital.

Reacting to the statement, the group in a press statement issued by its National Coordinator, Comrade Biodun Agboola, which was made available to OSUN DEFENDER said the governor has clearly shown that he was clueless about the business of governance.

Agboola then argued that it was high-time the governor resigned and vacated his seat for a man of vision, saying a time like this demanded a great thinker who could scheme for the betterment of his citizens.

“We in PWL were bewildered with the reckless talk and clueless posture of Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola during his media chat on his last OPEN FORUM programme; it is unthinkable to know that a government could be running an administration on bank overdrafts. We demand unequivocally the resignation of the governor,” the group asserted.

Agboola explained that it was not in the best interest of the state to have a clueless person at the helm of the affairs of a struggling state like Osun, noting that as at the time a governor like Barrister Babatunde Fashola was turning around a very complex state like Lagos, Oyinlola was still waiting on the Federal Government for survival.

“Lagos State is a very complex state and Oyinlola knows it very well as a former Military Administrator, that was why he could not perform there, because he is clueless about good governance. It is now clear to us that a lizard in Lagos State can never be an alligator in Osun,” Agboola reiterated.

X-raying the economic value that could propel the state to the enviable position, Agboola said that Osun was richly-endowed with vast natural resources that could be explored by any visionary leader to turn stone to bread.

According to him: “the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo did not have the government at the centre to give him money, and he gave the then Western Region the best governance anyone could think of. He made use of natural resources like cocoa and palm-oil and other agricultural produce. Osun has rich soil that could be cultivated to produce food and agricultural export.”

He further said that Osun has tourism potential that could be turned around as goldmine and a major source of funds for the state, arguing that fairly constant power supply in the state was an added advantage for any governor who is ready to better the lot of his people.

Further frowning at the statement credited to Oyinlola, the group reiterated that if former Governor Bisi Akande, with terribly meagre resources, at his disposal, could run the state without owing a bank any amount, arguing that the prudence of the immediate past governor stood him out of the crowd.

According to the group Akande erected a sprawling Secretariat for government’s business in the state, still Oyinlola with good money from the federation accounts could still not manage the funds.

In a related development, the state chapter of the National Conscience Party (NCP) has charged the governor to tender his resignation letter and bow out in shame out of the Government House in Osogbo, saying that he has shown himself as a crass failure in the discharge of his duty.

In a telephone conversation with our reporter, the state Chairman of the party, Alhaji Waheed Lawal said that the fact that Oyinlola had confessed that he could not run the state without borrowing; he should just pack his bag and bow out of government.

“If the truth must be told, Oyinlola has become a spent-force in the Government House and he seems to have out-lived his usefulness. Now that he can no more run the the Government House without taking over-draft, it is advisable for him to bow out of the State House in shame,” Lawal submitted.

  2. Hun! hun!! hun!!! you can see what become the joy of the few oppressors on that day when their electoral rigging machinery suppressed the people’s votes. They deceived people that the Prince of Okuku would perform magic. Now we can see what they can do. They have succeeded in ruining our dear state. Initially he was boasting that he could do all things. Now we could see that he is a liar. They have used all our money to organize parties, execute failed project, bribe police, INEC and Thomas Naron led Tribunal. God will surely judge them according to their works.

  3. Every thing in the state ain’t working!
    Imagine student of Osun State Polytechnic Iree don’t have night classes, cos they have no generator to run the whole power system of the institution over the night. The road network in the state capital and other part of the state are bad, yet they claim they spend millions of naira on road projects.

  9. PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THE GENUINESS OF PEACE EFFORTS OT THE GOVERNOR AND THE OONI OF IFE IN RELATION TO CROWNING OF OGUNSUA AND THE IFE – MODAKEKE RELATIONS. THE WINGBOLU OPPOSITION SEEMS INTERNAL BUT PEOPLE OF MODAKEKE CAN NOT BE FOOLED ALL THE TIMES, “ iromi to njo, onilu re wa nisale odo “

  10. It is true, balogun opeyemi was right. Governor Oyinlola needs our prayer to deliver his good tidings within the remaining two years. Personally. I am wishing the governor best of luck in his next political endeavours to the senate, ministerial aspirations or even vice presidency via his program of settling individuals and communal disputes nation wide . Please, 6 out of 8. don`t let us deceive ourselves, “esin kii ko ere asarele, Gomina wa. e ku ise o “
    Remember to exercise and guard your voting right. OYIN NIOOOO
    .

  11. @ Akin Akinjinmi, yes 6 out of 8 but remember Ngige 3+ out of 4, so that goes to no issue after all Omisore had spent 6 out 8 b/4 he was kicked out. You should realised that time is never a determinant in an election issue even if it remain a single day. What matter most is that justice should prevail.

  12. I seldom visit this site but each time I visit I am always surprised to see that a whole lot of people are still living behind the bush! How can a reasonable man with sheer sense of appraisal sings encomium to a governor of Lagun’s status! I have travelled far and large across this nation now and even in the past,the type of governance was only seen in the east where pockets of people sit upon the wealth of the state and feed their gluttonous bellies until mean men are made to sleep without food in their bellies! But,a visit to Owerri will tell you things have changed and governance is more than sharing of money and largesse among the sychophants!There can never be enough money when Oyinlola cannot mobilise the good resources we have to the glory of the state ,always in flamboyant Agbada dancing around the globe! @Akin Akinjimi,I have a word for you! If in anyway you are a beneficiary of this largesse,try and learn your rope! The whistle will soon blow!

  13. please leave governor oyinlola alone.. he is doing well for the state. support him with your prayers.

  14. Oyinlola and his crownies are all crooks, how can he have any money to run the state when they share it among themselves?Look at the so called commissioner of justice Niyi Owolade, he goes to UK like he is going to Sekona to hide his loots, he should be querried about the state money he put in his late brother Dr Ade Owolade’s account whils he was alive in southern africa country of Swazilland, now his widow sister’s in law refuses to give the money back which has caused a family dispute, at least she is spending some of the money building a massive hospital in Ibadan, Oyo state.

    OJO GBOGBO N’TOLE OJO KO NI OLOHUN. Wicked people!!!
