BRAVO, OYETOLA THE GOVERNOR. By Comrade Adekunle Samson


Change in govermment neccessarily does not imply change in policies and programmes of the previous government, but since what is constant in cultural actions is change; it is obvious that policies and programmes of the previous government may not meet the present reality, thus some past policies and programmes need be ammended, readjusted and readapted. This exactly concerns the present executive governor of Osun State, Governor Oyetola. Since he was sworn in November 2019, he has taken giant strides which included revitalization of community health care, redemption of pension arrears through bond, systematic redemption of salary arrears to workers and of greatest pleasure and satisfaction to majority in the state is the reversal of school system to 6-3-3-4 and abolishing of common uniform in Osun schools. I am also very much aware of some other silent remoulding of past government programmes. In all these, i congratulate Governor Oyetola for taking those bold steps. For all these, bravo, Oyetola,the governor!


My reasons for congratulating the governor is not far fetched. Firstly being an engine room of the previous administration, he has accepted that policies of the government can not be cast in iron and needs not be fixed permanently. He has also demonstrated sincerity of purpose; and to me this goes beyond being egoistic. Rather it is a demonstration of listening to the voices of the public.

While wishing the governor more success in his administration, i am looking forward to see the governor:
1. Unlocking the local government councils and securing their sincere autonomy for local communities to reap the dividends of democracy. This will transform the decayed local infrastructure that is prevailent in the state at present.
2. Revitalising agriculture sector by ensuring the genuine creation of farm settlements and direct support for real local farmers.
3. Repositioning of our progressive family (APC) by resolving all partisan crises and embracing all warring factions. The governor needs to properly place our real local gladiators in the party.

As the governor resets the state, i wholesomely commend him and his team; and wish him greater success.

PROGRESSIVE COMMUNICATION AND THE DEFENSE OF GOOD GOVERNANCE.

PROGRESSIVE COMMUNICATION AND THE DEFENSE OF GOOD GOVERNANCE. In the face of this stiff opposition came the army of young minds who could see through the impact of the new initiatives and were up to defend it against the venom of those poised to frustrate them… there are different organisations of young men and women forming themselves into progressive communication pressure groups in other places, convinced now that their voices must be strident, amplifying and strong enough to drown the rantings of the opposition. As a postgraduate student some years back, I chose to do a thesis on ‘Politics and the New Media’. That decision was inspired by what I envisioned was going to be a boom in new communication with the burgeoning fortunes of telephony in Nigeria and the rest of Africa. With the advent of the Global System of Mobile Communication (GSM) and the growing availability of internet facilities across our continent, I had no doubt that the future of politics ...

Ige, Governor of Oyo state and Afolabi his Deputy had serious quarrel. Afolabi was OBJ's senior in School, Ige was a friend of OBJ. So OBJ called the duo for settlement. This angered Adelakun, then UPN Leader and Commissioner in Oyo State, he reported to AWOLOWO. AWOLOWO summoned Ige and Afolabi to a meeting. He asked them why two brothers would be fighting and took their matter to the Family's Enemy...."This is a man who hates your father(AWO) and hates UPN but now pretending to love the sons of the man he hates.....Ige was sweating profusely, he was embarrassed, he knew Awolowo was disappointed. Ige and Afolabi begged AWOLOWO and baba relaxed..... As Ige and Afolabi were going out, Awolowo called them back and said "Politically, I'm your leader, I love you both. If I use my mouth to cut kolanut for you, don't eat it but if I use my mouth to talk to you, hear and harken diligently. I know this life more than you, be careful. Whether I'm alive or dead, s...

BRING TINUBU AND AREGBESOLA TOGETHER. Comrade Samson charges Obas

 SOS. Osun State traditional rulers. BRING TINUBU AND AREGBESOLA TOGETHER.   Sequel to the lookout for President TINUBU'S visit to Osun State, I want to charge our traditional rulers to please as a matter of urgency call for amicable settlement of the crisis between the President and AREGBESOLA. Aregbesola is a name that can not be played with in Osun State as far as politics is concerned while the President is the architect of his success political story. Aregbe that I know has no problem whatsoever apologising to the President and it's also very easy for Tinubu to gladly welcome him back to his camp but there are some enemies that feed from their feud and will not want it settled. What we are currently witnessing in Osun is a case study. Who is Ajibola Bashir to refuse the governor have his sit at his rightful place if not for what is on ground. With peace among the two giants there will be utmost peace in Osun State. I have never read in the history of Osogbo for praye...
