Governor Fatah Ahmed of Kwara Stare:
THE CLOCK TICKS
The ticking of the clock is the fleetness of time. There are sixty (60) seconds in
one hour and one thousand four hundred and forty (1440) seconds,in a day. We
have five hundred and twenty five thousand, six hundred (525,600) seconds, in a
year. Though, Governor Fatah Ahmed has been elected to govern Kwara State
for four hundred and twenty million, four thousand, eight hundred(420,4,800)
seconds, representing the two terms tenure of his administration; by the 29th
day of May 2016, he had spent in office as the governor of Kwara State, two
hundred and sixty twomillion, eight thousand(262,8000) seconds. That
represents the five years of the eight year tenure as the governor of the state.
Measurement of time by seconds creates a consciousness of the fleetness of
time and that in the life of individuals and administrations, every second is
important.
The clock ticks and ticks fast and the eight year tenure is facing a downward
trend. A time of review of tenure is now around. The glamour of office will give
way to sober moment of both self-reflection and people’s assessment of tenure.
At the point of entry in 2011, it must be with high hopes and zeal that history
will be made under Governor Ahmed. We naturally enter into this type of office
with pomp and pageantry. Where now is the hope and where is the zeal? Where
is Governor Ahmed’s brand, stamped on the geographical space called Kwara
state or in the hearts of the people of Kwara state? Where is Fatah’s legacy?
Moments of assessment and accountability are around the corner.
With what must we assess this governor? I am yet to lay hold on his document
of promises; which should form the social contact between the governor and the
people of Kwara State.
Governor Ahmed is a governor whose script was written for him by his
overbearing boss (The so called leader) before he was instructed to hold fort for
the ‘’Leader’’.
The major agenda of our governor was continuity as if continuity should be a
project. And what is spectacular in continuity since government is a continuum?
Handling over note which is normally exchanged between the incoming and the
outgoing administrations is a rationale of continuity. It is only in Kwara State
that continuity becomes a celebrated agenda.
But if continuity is sustenance of the inherited projects and policies of the
previous administration, even in the continuity agenda, the governor is a
complete failure.
For the first four years, Governor Fatah Ahmed was a filler of potholes and
renovator of hospitals. There was what he called operation no potholes in
Kwara State. Truly, some potholes were filled in the Ilorin metropolis of the
State, the effect of which was never noticeable in several parts of the State or in
many roads even within the city of Ilorin. As a road mender, the governor is a
failure. As a renovator of hospitals, there are thirteen General Hospitals in
Kwara State and forty six cottage hospitals. In his physical renovation program,
he failed to touch nine of the thirteen and certainly none of the forty six cottage
hospitals in Kwara State. Yes, the Ilorin general hospital was renovated and
some state of the earth equipment bought, but can the same be said of Offa,
Omu-Aran, Share (his home town) and Kaima general hospitals that were said
to be renovated but are mere consulting clinics?
When our governor renovates hospitals and calls it major achievements, what of
the people that established the hospitals in the first place.And to show that the
governor is a poor road mender; today in the streets of Kwara State are not
mere potholes, but ditches and open wells that destroy life and property.
As such if you see a man driving in straight line in Kwara, never think he is
drunk but he does not even know the pot holes to avoid.
Governor Fatah in his 5th anniversary report on the occasion of the democracy
day, 29th May 2016, made some wild claims unbefitting of his office. He
claimed that he inherited 28 road projects from his predecessor covering
256.127 kilometres out of which he has completed 204. 8 kilometres. Where are
these roads in Kwara State that he claimed to have completed? In the South
Senatorial District of Kwara State, the Governor constructed less than three
kilometres of road in Isin local government area and that is specifically in
Isanlu-Isin where he tarred about three kilometres of road to the town where
his boss stopped at the entrance of the Isanlu-Isin community. In Irepodun
LGA, the Esie-Ijan-Agbonda-Omido-Arandun- Rore and Aran orin road still
remain unfinished. This is a road started by Governor ShaabaLafiagi in 1993,
about twenty three years ago. Oke-Ode-Share road in Ifelodun Local
Government Area is on-going. No new roads have been constructed in Ekiti,Oke-
Ero, Offa and Oyun LGAs under this administration. And in the expansive
Northern Senatorial District in the past five years, there had been no form of
road constructions in the entire senatorial zone.
Where therefore are the 204.8 kilometres of roads constructed or completed by
Governor Ahmed?
In the areas of housing, he admitted that the people of Kwara State, through his
studies would need 584,000 housing units, but that he has just flagged off the
construction of 1000 housing units. At the expiration of his tenure assuming he
completes the 1000 housing units; he would leave the State with a deficit of
583 000 housing units.
When the governor claims to have improved the water situation in the state, I
leave this to the judgement of jerry cans and buckets carrying Kwarans who
wake up in the dead of the night in search of water from boreholes and wells
owned by good Samaritans.
I also leave the Governor to the judgement of every house owners that have
become Water Corporations by providing for themselves water from wells or
boreholes, after the State Water Corporation is fast becoming defunct as a
result of non-payment of salaries and non-availability of public water system.
Thus far, when we talk in the terms of water, health and road infrastructural
developments in the State, Governor Fatah should be scored lowest so far. And
yet, the clock ticks.
The worst injustice the administration of Governor Fatah and his continuity
category have done against the people of Kwara State and the Kwara farmers in
particular; is the total neglect of agriculture as a strategy for economic
development of the state.The royal and perhaps the easiest reliable means of
economic development in Kwara state is by way of agriculture. But listen to
what Governor Fatah regards as his policy thrust in agriculture in the state
—‘’we flagged off Kwara Agricultural Modernization Master Plan (KAMP)
2012-2017, designed in partnership with Cornell University New York, University
of Ilorin and Kwara State University. KAMP is to create agro driven economic
diversification and establish Kwara State as the sub region economic hub’’ The
statement goes further-‘’KAMP’s main strategy was development of the
agriculture value chain in rice, soya beans, cassava and rice’’. KAMP gestation
period is between 2012–2017, a period of five years. But where is the effect of
KAMP a year to the end of its tenure?
The governor also says that the government has established Kwara Agro Mall
(KWMALL). The KWMALL is to provide loan facilities, subsidies, consultancy
services and equipment to farmers. Let the government list at least one
thousand out of over a million Kwara farmers that have benefitted one thing or
the other from the services of the KWMALL. Let the farmers that have also
benefitted from the scheme form the association of beneficiaries.
In the area of the continuity agenda the governor is unable to maintain the now
moribund Shonga farm and its own introduced policies are not working. And yet
the clock ticks.
Majority of the roads constructed between 2003 and now were done during the
administration of Bukola Saraki. Though, the erstwhile governor during his eight
years stint, gave us what Kwarans did not need, he can beat his chest that he
gave some projects: like International Aviation School, Football Academy, Cargo
terminal (now moribund), Metropolitan Square, Overhead bridge, Shonga farm,
International Vocational centre at Ajase-Ipo, Kwara State University etc.
Some of these projects may never be projects of value that have much to do
with the REAL NEEDS of the people of Kwara State; they are nevertheless
Bukola’s projects.
The above projects will wear the insignia of the ‘’Leader’’ not that of Governor,
Fatah Ahmed.
Questions
Now that Governor Fatah Ahmed has scanty claim to projects of legacy, could it
be that his predecessor Bukola spent all the money meant for sixteen years in
eight years? Could it be that having been overburdened with much debts, the
present governor have been paying debts for the past five years on projects that
cannot pay the debts incurred except through the statutory allocation that is
now dwindling? Could it be that the leader would not allow his godson to
outshine him, hence his amputation with this burden of debts? But then for
Governor Ahmed, the clock continues to tick on.
Gubernatorial chair is not one to merely warm. Nobody should pray that he
should be an executive governor without exercising the executive power of the
office. A person elected to be the governor of Kwara State is one in more than
two and a half million population of Kwara State. It is not a mean achievement
or luck.
David Lasisi Bamigboye was made one in 1967 at the age of twenty seven. He
built the State Secretariat, Kwara Radio, College of Technology (now Kwara
Polytechnic), School of Nursing, College of Education Ilorin, Kwara Hotel,
Gateway Insurance, Midland stores, Government House,amilegbe bridge among
several others.
General Innih came and built the present Taiwo Road, Amusement Park, Unity
Road, Kwara State Stadium among others.
Governor Adamu Atta built several Government Secondary Schools and three
major Specialist hospitals in Sobi, Obangede (now in Kogi State), Jebba and
Oke-Ode and did massive rural electrification in the state.
Governor C. O. Adebayo within three months of his short stay in office
established many government day Secondary Schools to de-shift the schools in
the urban, under his party’s Free Education Policy.
Governor ShaabaLafiagi gave established Kwara State Television, College of
Education,Lafiagi,and massive investments in agriculture, especially the
purchase of 100 units of tractors plus laudable investments in education among
others.
Governor Mohammed Lawal built palaces for all the First class traditional rulers,
built 193 clinics and the equal numbers of civic centres across Kwara State. He
equally built many rural and urban roads including completion of bridge across
River Egwa Wusa in Lafiag and empowered the poor of the State.
Governor Fatah layon the eggs of his predecessor, the‘’Leader’’.
My worry and my fear is that if the clock continues to tick as it will always do
to its inexorable end; in the next remaining twenty four months of his active
tenure, what shall we remember this governor for?
Our governor will be remembered for words like ’’ agriculture value chain’’ Kwara
Agricultural modernization plan(KAMP)’’, ‘’creation of agro driven economic
diversification’’, ‘’establishing Kwara State as the sub-region economic hub’’.
William Shakespeare will call all these ‘’mere sound and fury, signifying
nothing’’ But then after the clock stops ticking for our governor, the above
words and not projects are the things we shall inherit from Governor Fatah
Ahmed.
We shall also be left with illiteracy as teachers from primary to tertiary levels
are no more teaching, but gisting and mourning for several months that may
run to years of unpaid wages. And so what will history say about Governor
Abdulfatah Ahmed, as the clock ticks on?

Kiss Daniel share throwback picture.

diz man is brainless

This comment shows how reasonable you will be, i pity the generation you will build.

The question is how? What kind of business are you into to make that kind of money before becoming a Governor? Mr. Thief or Senate President.

She sell bread for a living in Ilorin.

Dear Nigeria Airforce

I hereby write to express my displeasure with regard to my disqualification as Information Technology applicant at Zonal screening exercise held at Kano on Monday 2nd May 2016 where the screening officer in person of Flying officer I. Wada disqualified me based on presentation of Electrical Electronic Engineering certificate.

I studied Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Electronic and Telecommunication Option) with Upper credit classification.

I have three years experience as IT specialist with some certifications such as: Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) in IT Service Management. Software Engineer at SIIT and currently a student of Cisco.

So Elect/Elect can not apply for Information Technology(IT) job?

Did you see how foolish Nigerian youth has become? The people of ilorin did not protest again and imo youth are protesting, what a shame!

Guy is not new come to Kano you will see white men in keke napep.

Nice one, but it was stated from the heading that is free

As far as am concern there are no differences between the two options, but i will like to have people view on this topic.
My only observation is that our leaders divided it for their selfish interest.

The people i see here are just street beggers and security personel, any corrupt leader will surely go down by the special grace of God.

Anyone that know how to repair a damaged external HDD

Saraki is not suppose to represent a LG because this man ruin the future of Nigerian youth especially kwara. Allah will never forgive you until you(saraki) mend all what you have spoiled. Kirikiri is waiting for these thief
