Ogun State governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, has approved the purchase of new cars and furniture allowance to all the 236 councillors in the state starting from July while he also asked them to come up with a proposal for a capital project to be executed in each ward.

Amosun, while addressing all the councillors in the state including non- APC councillors said he was concerned about the welfare of people in the grassroots, whom he described as the bedrock for a thriving governance.

The governor, while speaking with the councillors, urged them to see themselves as ambassadors of people at the grassroots and charged them to have clear vision for their wards.


“I’m not unmindful of the fact that the organ of government at the grassroots must have necessary incentives, tools and enabling environment to achieve meaningful development which is the reason for the government’s gesture,” he said.

Amosun further charged them to replicate the rebuilding mission of his administration in their respective wards, stating that the proposed projects would be funded by the government and executed by the councillors.

“Governance for me is not all about a party or just the governor, but ensuring that we break through political barriers to meet the needs of our people,” he stated.

The majority leader of Ward 8, Abeokuta North Local Government, Mr Akinsola Idris, while commending the governor for the good gesture, which he said was unprecedented, stated that councillors were now poised to take the rebuilding mission to the grassroots.

Honourable Akeem Sodunke, from Ota Local Government, stated that the governor has indeed formed an all-inclusive government.

According to him, no government in the state has ever given the welfare of the people at grassroots priority as the Amosun administration.

APC may your gifts perish with you.

It is TOO late, we are wiser... your time is up!

Goodbye to APC and his newly found useless methodology of winning back our votes.

Fallout of Ekiti elections

The fear of the unseen

I presume APC is no more popular

Is a pity they are going down this way.

What is APC?

This same Amosun has promised to pay civil servants and teachers 13th month salary for 2012 and 2013. This is another fallout of Ekiti elections.

The simple question is why did he not pay them at the right time!

In this same week, he has recalled those 2000 youths he disengaged.

He has also started paying running cost to secondary schools.
