South West Governors Bringing their Problems To Lagos?

The Lagos State Governor, Mr Babatunde Raji Fasola, will play host to the South West governors and traditional rulers on Tuesday, May 5 2009.
This was one of the outcomes of the meeting of the monarchs and the governors hosted by Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola in Osogbo.

According to the coordinator of the group, Gov Alao Adedayo, Lagos is the next state to host the group, though the state had not been formally represented at its previous meetings that had taken place in Ibadan , Abeokuta , Akure and Osogbo.

“We are taking the meeting to Lagos because every member of the council agreed that it is Governor Fasola’s turn to host us and we believe the governor would wait for his colleagues and the traditional rulers of the zone. He had always wanted to attend the meetings, but for some unforeseen circumstances he has not and we cannot because of that deny the state this opportunity.”

Reminded that the governor’s absence from the group meetings might have political undertone, Alao Adedayo said that could not have been the case.

“No. He talked with his colleagues during the first meeting, giving genuine reason why he could not be with them. Besides, the presence of the new Ondo State Governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, who was ably represented by his deputy, should be a signal that this group has nothing to do with politics. The belief here is that there will always be governors, and there will always be traditional rulers. So, whoever is the governor, irrespective of his political party or religion is a member. All we want is unity and development for the land.”
Alao Adedayo said a formal letter is on its way to Governor Fashola and that Governor Oyinlola has also been mandated by the council to meet personally with him and relate some of the past deliberations to him.

You would think they get the message he is not interested in their drama maybe, thats why he has not attended or sent anyone to the past meetings.
