There is a reason that Ajimobi got re-elected(a feat which had never happened before) and it is not because he spent 4 years doing nothing. He is one of the governors who are less and less interested in getting into media hype and thibgs like that.

Yes in every place, there is room for improvement but Ajimobi has done well to improve way Onto state looks and he had a lot of capital projects too.

It is never late to set policies and this night just be a continuation o policy already set

PassingShot:

Ajimobi got elected for two main reasons which are unconnected to his mediocre performance:
1. His challengers were not necessarily better alternatives. Ladoja was revealed to have secretly returned stolen monies through EFCC and people rightly became disappointed in him. Akala and Folarin are nothing to write home about not to talk of Makinde who was a novice at that level.

2. Popularity of Sai Buhari and his change mantra really helped him and many others like him then.

My major worries are beyond his tenure. They extend to finding a better governor after him.

OnReflection:


Your make a lot of points that are valid Gbawe. But if we ignore some of intemperate language used, so do others.

As one of the defenders of the commonwealth on these boards, I certainly stand by my earlier appraisal of Ogbeni.



I was one of ogbeni Aregbe's greatest supporters, to begin with.
But if you ask me for an appraisal of his efforts in the area of public administration, today, it is without equivocation that I would locate him as one of the least effectual leaders in the South West. While I can cite numerous examples of what informs my current view, let me draw on two that do not focus unduly on the state's current financial crises.

(1) Osun state has made the least effort to enshrine a framework of e-government.
- Budgets are hardly ever made public.
- Policy documents are scant
In sum, fiscal transparency is none existent

(2) The implementation of Opon Imo, an initiative which has proved to be both unsustainable and unfit for purpose, was a total sham.
- While we heralded this feat with great aplomb at the time, the truth is; no comphenesive trial was ever carried out.
- Difficult questions which might have helped to address stakeholder concern were fobbed off, in search of "a first" for Osun.
- When the state's chapter of the opposition party (PDP) questioned the involvement of Kabiru Aregbesola in this scheme, a telling response (copied in below) was provided by the governor

Please pay close attention to the statement I highlighted and tell me your sensibilities aren't offended by the lame attempt to rationalise nepotism.

P.S - I have deliberately limited my criticism to these two examples because I think Ogbeni is beleaguered enough as it is, at the moment.

Ti'mba mo ki n de ti dake enu mi.

Fam, can you now see why I can't stand a lot of Yoruba folks? I keep saying Yoruba folks are most diabolical and two-faced folks ever. This thread is getting clearer now. Apart from the outsiders, the enemies within are now showing who they're. Gbawe's post has shed a lot of light on the politics they played behind the scene. The real mastermind of what went are starting to show their true colours. The snakes, jakes, and chameleons. And I've lost the little respect I've for the Gbawe guy.

Must everyone agree this guy's sycophancy and are we getting paid for posting like you do? His opinions are paid for and our opinions are based wanting the best for Yorubas and Yorubaland. If you don't like what's happening on the thread - you can create ya own thread and celebrate whoever/the-mediocrity/non-achievement you want to celebrate. Is that too much to do? Why go behind the scene and use ya influence/resources to put a gag order on what other folks are doing? What type of idiocy is that on an online forum where folks are allowed to create their own threads freely without interference? Why force ya will on this one?

The average black man is cursed and the crab in bucket mentality is the reason why we're at the bottom of the totem pole of everything. That's why I always talk about enemies within and this thread exemplified it. Just go back in history from slavery, to colonisation, to post-colonisation, to post-slavery, to the dark periods of African civil wars era, to today - the bane of the black man has always been the enemies within. The bastards of a party. Even Yorubaland should never have been colonised cos a united Yorubaland would've repelled the colonial army. And the same thing that happened on this thread, is the same reason why Yorubaland was colonised and why we're stuck in Nigeria today.

I was going to leave this thread but what I just saw from Gbawe and the others broke my heart. This thread has to die. If we can't use the thread - they won't be able to use it as well.

I dare anyone to delete/block this post and I shall spam the next 25 pages of this thread with the same post. Try me.

Also, keep banning "nobody" cos I'm going to be ghosting all through. Suckers.
