OGBENI AREGBESOLA NEEDS URGENT SOCIAL SURGERY - OGUNTOLA ADELOWO

"In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act"- George Orwell

Your Excellency, Sir, You have not paid the seven (7) months salaries of Civil servants in Osun state. Teachers, Public administrators et al are languishing in pain, suffering from predicament and deprivation of salaries, facing recurrent disappointment and daily feeling distraught and sad! Yet, you prefer to still blab and unleash various malicious insinuations and innuendos in your well-oiled political arsenal.

Have you forgotten the remission of two-years pension deductions made from workers accounts and not remitted to their pension accounts since the last two years? Pensioners in the state have now resorted to menial jobs. The hoax you created just three months after your first term swearing-in ceremony with nomenclature, Osun Youth Empowerment Scheme (OYES) which you turned Graduates to laborers and sweepers have now rendered most of them useless with your gargantuan lies and fabricated gossips! 96 per cent of them are now impecunious and financially bankrupt.

The road construction of Osogbo-Ikirun-Ila Odo Dualization project, Gbongan Trumpet intersection/ dualization project was from the beginning a scam just to deceive indigenes of the state. All what your administration is notably known for is mere propaganda, deceit and lies. What of your so-called Mega schools? It has now turned to abode for destitute and beggars.

My Distinguished State Governor, I wish to state categorically and unequivocally that you are someone well-known for elevation of corruption, celebration of mediocrity, incompetence, reinforcement of failures, condoning of heinous crimes, tormenting violence and being influenced by enemies of the state in the Nigerian political firmament. That's just the truth because I prefer to say the truth no matter whose ox is gored or whose sacred cow is touched rather than joining the cacophony of Hallelujah boys to adore and praise you.

With undue sufferings, you and your sycophants and apologists "Osun State House of Assembly Lawmakers" yesterday (May 27th, 2015) have approved the creation of thirty-six (36) additional Local Council Development Authorities [LCDAs]. Mr Speaker, whom I expect to have been imbue with political savvy and legislative dexterity still didn't understand the rudimentary knowledge of LCDAs when states are facing debts and owing workers' salaries without no index of development in 'Ipinle Omoluabi'. Local Governments now at the figure of sixty-six (66)! It seems the lawmakers didn't understand the demerits of LGAs being 66 in state like Osun. They have once again displayed that political foolishness and bureaucratic immaturity.

I PRAY that your administration further brings smile and happiness on the face of indigent, poor and downtrodden people in the state. Remember, the state is on the brink of economic collapse and political destruction.

Peter, not Peter the Apostle, but Peter the hero of Hugh in Walpole's novel entitled 'Fortitude', said; "It isn't life that matters but the courage you bring into it'. After life had done terrible things to Peter he heard a voice that said to him, among other things: 'Blessed be all sorrow, hardships and endurances that demand courage. Blessed be those things: for of these things cometh the making of a man'.

In the words of Peter, therefore, you people that you want to do harm (not that I heard a voice): Blessed be your action; and I say unequivocally that you should be weary of your actions.

It is, therefore, with a brave heart, with confident hope, and with faith in my unalterable destiny, that I go from this twilight into the darkness, unshaken in my trust in the providence of God that a glorious dawn will come on the morrow.

Ire o!
