Ogbeni, Oyetola is still owing pensioners from 2018 till date. Last week a list of retirees was posted at the government house in Abere, asking them to come for their retirement pension bond, only for them to be told the governor has not signed it. They were ask to come back this week, knowing fully well that election was on Saturday. He used it as a bait to lure them into voting for him.

seunmsg:
Oyetola is a very brilliant guy but he was designed to fail as a governor by Rauf Aregbesola. Unfortunately, Nigerians are very ignorant of what the issues are so they tend to make the wrong political decisions at every election cycle.

Oyetola’s major offense was not executing big contracts and sharing money like Rauf did. Some, especially Osogbo people also hated him for fighting Rauf. But truth be told, what’s in Rauf’s legacy that should be continued? Crazy debt? Crazy religious policies? Crazy educational policies? None payment of salaries? What exactly?

The governor inherited a crippling debt portfolio from Rauf. The state’s monthly allocation was not even enough to meet the servicing of the debt left by Aregbesola not to talk of paying salaries and executing contracts. Still, he managed to keep the state together.

He had two choices as governor, take more crazy loans that the state can’t payback in the next 100 years or cut down on government projects and prioritize payment of salaries, repayment of loan and execution of only emergency projects. He choose the second option and got punished for it.

People, including political contractors simply wanted huge contracts to be awarded everywhere without caring about where the money would come from. They wanted a governor who would come to Osogbo round about and stand on the roof of his car and share money. Oyetola refused all these and they hated him.

I sincerely wish Ademola Adeleke well but I’m eagerly waiting to see what he will do differently considering the huge debt portfolio of the state.

So you think they sent Oyetola packing because of contracts. There is hunger and anger in the land bro

JAWBONE:
Aregbesola is now the black sheep of Osun State because he didn't work for Oyetola this time around.

I remember Aregbesola was campaigning, they were posting pictures of Trumpet flyover in Osun hailing Aregbe as a reputable Engineer and a prodigy of Tinubu leadership school. But today, Oyetola is a saint and Aregbe is the devil.

Let Oyetola do the mistake of not supporting Tinubu's ambition and watch the same people play his tape. E go shock u say the same people wey call am angel go still call am devil.

Nigerians, I fear una

Aregbe has never been good for Osun. His socialist government was a disaster. At the start it made sense to build infrastructure but infrastructure should be tied to growth and development. Not infrastructure into debt and huge ton of financial recklessness.

That's what Aregbe did. I can give you numerous examples. The dualisation of that Osogbo -Gbongan road at 29 Billion naira as at 2012 (factor in inflation now) and it is about 60Billion naira for a road without any economic value. There are no industries on the road or any large scale farming. What the road needed was resurfacing in major areas and not dualisation. Anytime i travel that road. I can count on my fingers how many cars passes through. Till today that road is incomplete and billions down the drain. I am sure he used it to sipphon money.

The other projects Oyes , ofood, o-whatever were just brainless. You are paying graduates 10k monthly to cut grass and sweep roads when you can use this same money to upskill them to fend for themselves.

Don't let me even talk about improverishing people due to capital flight. That contract to Sam and Sam as the sole contractor for the purchase of school uniform was nothing but wicked. You definitely knew it was for political patronage. I cannot wrap my head how a so called Governor would purposely kill local mom and pop shops. Award the whole contract for sewing, buying uniform material of a whole state to one single contractor which never had a single presence in the state and barred any other business from importing or sewing same.

I can go on and on about his economic policies. He should never have been a local government chairman let alone Governor.

i think he did WELL he shld b compesated. he did well

Oyetola has done the best he could.There are so many forces that worked against him.
More importantly,Osun people wanted a change and they got it.
I am sure the new Governor elect will perform.He will learn from the mistakes of Oyetola.
Nobody has the monopoly of knowledge. With the help of God and the support of Osun people,Adeleke will succeed.

Re: Osun Lost the Best Governor in Nigeria.
Go and tell this to the Marines!
Oyetola was the architect of his misfortune.He was not smart enough.
The opposition capitalized on the cracks in his administration.

Bullseye! All encompassing analysis. One is in the hope that the CA Akure will use their impending decision to deliver the Osun Electorate from themselves.

benardtotti:


And buhari went ahead to appoint him a minister? Buhari loves to surround himself with failures no wonder he himself is a failed president.

Sincerely, it's just so annoying. Aregbesola is someone that should not have been allowed to breathe by EFCC cos of how he messed up that state but he was instead rewarded by Buhari as minister and the fool had the guts to be fighting Oyetola who has actually performed a miracle to clean up his mess to a reasonable extent, even making snide remarks with the Bible when he lost. Paying salaries and pensions promptly and with no extra debt despite negative federal allocation - Oyetola was indeed a miracle worker. Osun people have made their choice with Adeleke, they shouldn't disturb us on social media when things go south.

seunayantokun:


I think you're right. Oyetola might be a fine gentleman governor but he represents Tinubu, Alpha Beta, etc. that are cutting big from the little the state has.

People are angry against a man who sold them out to Fulani terrorists.

Must you attack your own, that's what yoruba are good at, snitch.

Are you the only one who didn't know of the vote buying in Ekiti?

Was that what happened in Ekiti state too.

God bless you bro, you just said my mind. Oyetola inherited people's hatred for Aregbesola. I hear a lot of people say he's a good man but they are just tired of APC regime from the president to the state level. APC has governed the state for almost 12 years. Though I hate APC and everything about them but I have little resentment for Oyetola and Osinbajo because they have distinguished themselves.
I was still sharing my reservations about Adeleke with my mom this afternoon. I just hope he has practical and realistic means of generating revenue for the state or else he will dash the hope of thousands of people, especially, the civil servants.

Oyetola was just the best they could have

But Nigeria isn't for the Realists

spearman:


My brother, I dislike that Tinubu pass anyone on this earth. I just don't like thieves, nothing more. Every election I have organized to topple him in Lagos governance openly in protests and marches at Lekki toll gate at election time. I contributed to Jimi Agbaje every election cycle. Right now I am on my knees praying for him to be digraced in this election because I want Yorubas to break up Nigeria. Minorities cannot break Nigeria, it will take one of the majors and Igbos are not serious about Biafra with that fraudulent map. Only the Yorubas posses the capacity and incentive to break Nigeria. Niger delta want a federation of their own but are too fragmented into many nations to take on Nigeria and so has the incentive but no capacity, yet.

With all of these, I don't hate anybody. Not Yoruba, not Igbo, not even Fulani. Everyone is simply acting out their interest the way they think is best for them no matter how misguided. As much as I dislike Tinubu, I wish him good health, long life and wisdom. That is what the Igbo psyche cannot do. Igbo hate Yoruba for their superior culture, language, geography and heritage. I too have problems with Yorubas, no one is perfect, but I have never thought of Lagos as "no man's land". Minorities and even Fulanis don't think that way. Only the Igbos say Lagos is no man's land only so to desecrate Yoruba heritage.

South South is lucky that One Nigeria did not develop Niger Delta ports. That should wait until after the breakup of Nigeria as it will only bring massive aggressive Igbo populations to its doorstep to dilute and pollute local cultural dynamics just as they currently lay siege on Port Harcourt.

Self_determination is the only and the ultimate solution to Nigeria's problem. Territorial nomadic Fulanis and territorial nomadic landlocked Igbos fear freedom for the rest of us. Peter Obi is a gaslighting Igbo project that they want to fool the unsuspecting into believing he is a savior, just like until recently Nnamdi Kanu (I once contributed to that idiot before I saw my village on his Biafrauud map).

Damn!!! I've never read such a POV on this platform before. I was moved to check out your remaining posts.

I was very specific about Osogbo people. If you check the result of the 2018 election, you will notice that Oyetola won massively in Osogbo despite the salary and pension problem. In fact, Osogbo voters made him governor. 4 years later, he lost Osogbo heavily. Even the Ataoja of Osogbo publicly endorsed Adeleke and said they supported Oyetola 4 years ago simply because of Aregbesola.

Oga stop lying.
Which osogbo voters made him a governor?
Adeleke won in 2018 but was robbed of his mandate.
Stop lying

Akharmony:
Adeleke should just do the right thing. . and not ue government fund to celebrate mediocrity. . Oyetola so far has done his own best by shaping the life of the civil servant, fact check the government didn't owe workers salaries, work are been paid at when due. . But Nigerians will prefer mediocrity over good works. .

But he didn't pay pensioners

So there was no vote buying in Osun or are you Brian dead. You didn't not see where police parade both APC n PDP member caught buying votes.

Naira20:
Are you the only one who didn't know of the vote buying in Ekiti?

The governor remain calm and accepted defeat because he knows the people will regret and miss him .. I remember how Soludo too was making mouth but now he is doing them strong thing but the people are still enduring they don't want to cry out yet ... Anambra people will cry out soon

Chinjo2:
Let him go to Tonubo to appoint him as the sole contractor to supply Nigera soldiers with Corn, Cassava and Agbado

Damn, why are you so messed up and full of hatred, you cant even think?
You think Obi will do better than Buhari?

True, but you know Osun has one of the lower IGr and pensions are actually recurrent expenditure that do no good to the economy.

Maybe he shoukd have paid, but unfortunately he didnt.
