*Governor Dapo Abiodun; Master Of Decent Politics Of Our Time (By: Ola Muritala).*

To blaze the trail or to play the game, it is abysmal and acrimonious to act the usual goat. If we must therefore get a different result, we must do it differently. Only those who hate peace will not testify to the living fact that the way politics is being played and practiced by the current Governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun is by far better than how it was played by many, now and in the past. Governor Abiodun as a matter of fact, has brought into Ogun politics, forgiveness, Inclusiveness, accommodation of one another and sincerity. These are the facts I am here to impact for us not to depart from the right path.

... I have a dream which content must be translated into reality in the nearest future, a time would come, when the spirit of brotherhood will prevail over the Satan of segregation. (Martin Luther King, Jr). This dream
of a great man is gradually becoming a reality in Ogun State, Nigeria, under the leadership of the sage, Prince Dapo Abiodun MFR, the State Governor.

In life, we often secure an opportunity of choosing between options or among alternatives. Good or bad, the two are models, patterns and samples but one is great, best and excellent while the other is little, ignoble and dishonorable. Whichever one we choose to admire, definately reflects the kind of humans we are. Decent or indecent, right or wrong, life is more beautiful and does not need a rough treatment. Let's make it decent, just like the way His Excellency, Prince Dapo Abiodun MFR, the incumbent Governor of Ogun State is threading it.

I started noticing His Excellency, Gov. Abiodun's ways of life since campaign and during electioneering periods, each time I wrote, and there was unpleasant words in my "write up", He immediately disapproved such 'write up" and advises me to be less abusive, that politics should be played decently. One day, I told an elder in my town, Owode-Egba, to decipher on the decent politics His Excellency always tells me about. Behold, the elder said, Ola, don't you know Dapo Abiodun is wealthy, rich in wisdom and he's a Prince? Hence, Prince and Princess do not fight like slaves. Meaning, (Omooba kì ń jagun bí ẹrú). Prince Dapo Abiodun is truly a Prince, well trained and one with a very beautiful heart. Therefore, If all of us can emulate the sage's style of politics, there won't be rooms for hatred for one another, killings of political opponents and unnecessary demolison of people's properties, especially, those who are against one's government and idiology.

We were all disappointed seeing His Excellency, Governor Abiodun not making any Executive order on May 29, 2019. Honestly, myself and many others, went to the Moshood Abiola Stadium, Kuto, Abeokuta on the swearing-in ceremony of the good hearted Governor, to witness and corroborate how some past leaders in the State will be dealt with through Governor's Executive orders. But all of us were disappointed to see that His Excellency did not make a single order. Instead, he thanked God for his life and that of the good people of the State and further highlights how he intends to make Ogun State a great State through his vision and mission to giving Ogun State; a good, focused and qualitative governance and creating an enabling environment for accountability, transparency, equity and fairness in the conduct of government affairs, towards creating an enduring economic future for the State and individual prosperity for the people and enabling environment for investors. Wow! This is wonderful and commendable. Truly, Leadership is anyway not by the size of our caps and size of our clothes but only by the endowed gift of God.
It's totally not our fault to have expected His Excellency to make orders reverting some decisions of the past administration but the fault of how it was being done and practiced before him and now.

My people, what else should we say than to continue thanking God for giving us a Man like "Omoba" Dapo Abiodun as our Governor. I was very happy the day it was aired on the State television (Ogtv), that Ogun State Governor has absorbed into civil service, over 2000 workers deliberately recruited in April 2019 at the twilight of the last administration in the State to cause political misfortune and further create unnecessary hatred for Gov. Abiodun when he takes over the mantle of Leadership. Not only that, the former administration also elevated 18 directors to the position of permanent Secretaries (PS) status, without recourse or due process. However, despite diverse Petitions from concerned individuals to declare void, the decision of the immediate administration in all the affected critical sectors of the State's economy, Governor Abiodun with a large heart and a rare spirit of decent politics and good governance, exhibited his high mindedness, generosity, forbearance and softness, ordered the absorption of all the candidates employed towards the tail-end of the last administration and directed the immediate payment of nine months salaries owned the new workers. Indeed, this is great, commendable, loudable and praiseworthy.

In addition, Governor Abiodun forgives those who stood in his way to become the 5th executive governor of Ogun State and many of them, who seek his life to waste. This is rare and can be described as Godly. The big question is, can these people, Governor Abiodun forgives do same if they were him? Anyway, I'm an Egba and egbas don't easily forget histrories. So, I remeber when they were in power, the first thing they did was to embark on ', mission to rvenge'' which came in form of arresting and chasing of people, seizing and demolition of properties etc. Only God knows what killed late Apagun Olumide? Only Otunba Gbenga Daniel can tell how much loss he recorded in his newly opened '' Conference Hotel" hmm, may God forgive all of us and give us the grace to do it right.

Ultimately, it's very commendable to see the likes of Mr. Gboyega Nosir Isiaka, former Deputy Governor of the State, Alhaja, Salmot Badru, former Speakers of the State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Titi Oseni and Rt. Hon Suraj Adekumbi, former People's Democratic Party, PDP Chairman, Elder Joju Fadairo, Chief Mrs Iyabo Apanpa, Former Governor Gbenga Daniel, others associating with the incumbent Governor, His Excellency, Prince Dapo Abiodun MFR, 'Omo ogbon'. This can only happen when we have not just a Man, but a Sage. Not just a Sage, but a Gem. Not just a Gem, but a Model. Not just a Model, but Master of decent politics as Governor.

Thank you, my name is Ola Muritala.

I attest to all this uwrote as a fact without any embellishments

The big question if he governor had done anything good he would have stated it on his report but he didn't. We know how it works. I've not seen any project at all from Ogun state.

That’s how you guys failed your UTME exams.
The title of the topic is about the style of bitterless politics played by the governor. It’s not
about his performance or non-performance. Thus the writer in his own wisdom is not obligated to write within your own already biased scope. You can criticize him based on the information he presented. Also you should open your own thread to prove your own point.

That is why Dapo Abiodun is not performing. He wants to pleas all politicians in Ogun State.

Confirm politician! Good one dapo.

But tap into Lagos development by fixing all roads that leads to Lagos and see influx of Lagosians biz in ogun boarder town

You hit the nail on the head, and that was why it took him so long to appoint commissioners as he want to please everyone, including OGD faction, Osoba faction, GNI faction and the core APC members that stood by him, as well as some APM members that worked against Amosun's candidate.

Too many cooks spoil the broth they say.

if he didn't please them all, and they start to complain.. It is still the same people that will label him a betrayal.. Look politics, is easier to talk about than you engage in..

If you stay in Ogun, you'd know that Dapo is yet to find his rhythm in governance, majorly because he wants to please all sides.

I thought politics was about the people that elected you?

Those people helped him to power, so why must he not please them?... So he should dissapoint some àbí.. Because of what?

Cos those people are more important than the Ogun electorates?

You though politics is about the people that elected You?.. Are u a Nigerian at all?.. Which politician care about the electorate?. The kerosine sharing givenor in Abia state, the pointing plate and picture sharing governor in Lagos state, the audio govenor in Oyo State, or the dollar sharing govenor in kano state!... All of them na wash.. This dapo you are complaining about will still find something to appease the electorate when second term is near and the electorate will still vote him!!

helinues:

to dapo Abiodun, yes!!..

babyfaceafrica:
to dapo Abiodun, yes!!..

Then he should forget about second term cos his starting is the lowest of all the past Ogun governors

You may be right to some extent, but he was voted for by the populace and they deserve some dividends as well.

Ogun State is currently in a standstill.

My point is you seem to "understand" perfectly why he is not working, you understand to the extent of condoning it.

As an educated fellow, your job is to spread knowledge, even if the whole country has gone dumb

No be Nigerian politician again!!,.. Yeye bello was very useless in his first term.. He won second term.

sir... I am a realist, I don't do sentiments... Nigerian politicians are the same with their electorate... They both deserve each other

Dapo is sharing money to all of them. All oppositions during 2019 election are now in Dapo's payroll.

Ogun has no governor but treasurer
