Kunle Adebayo is a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Chairman, Ondo State Broadcasting Corporation (OSBC). The Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on Research and Documentation spoke with DAMISI OJO on the scorecard of Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu (SAN) and the mischief of his critics.

The Peoples Democractic Party (PDP) has alleged that there is a disconnect between the Akeredolu’s administration and the people. What do you make of this allegation?

The utterances of the PDP and its body language are so bizarre that it cannot convince rational people that it is a serious party.

As we have also seen at the national level, the PDP in Ondo State is still at a loss as to its own misfortune and why the people are interested in the Akeredolu administration. It has lost steam and cannot even run a structured organ to engage in meaningful opposition.

Rather, it employs social media to float lies and peddle rumours on a daily basis to cause disaffection against the government. I have repeatedly joked with my few friends among them that this attempt to de-market Governor Akeredolu in Ondo State will not work because our people are wiser.

Aketi has demonstrated not only physical capability but deep conviction and inner strength of the mind, as well as genuine attention to the pressures and pains of governance.

Shreds of evidence abound that punctures the argument of the opposition.You can see the massive construction, reconstruction, and rehabilitation of roads across the state.

You can also see the major review and deliberate strengthening of the health care structures, as well as the vigour and verve of the multi-sectoral social security schemes. You can see the bold move at industrialisation leading to the creation of functional industrial hubs.

You can see the provision of drinkable water to the rural communities, as well as the efforts at eradicating unemployment through agricultural industrialisation. In the past, under the PDP, such funds were finding their ways into the pockets of a few individuals.

You can feel the joy of the Akoko people, for instance, at being liberated from the forceful occupation of their land by kidnappers, from the scourge of bad roads or death traps and from a dearth of drinkable water, etc. You can see ethical standards and youth confidence gradually returning to our state.

The PDP is disappointed at this. They are afraid. They want a government of looters as usual, of riggers and loquacious persons, of sakamajes and money sharers.

They want a figurehead governor. These accounts for why they have stomach upset and arthritic pains each time they see Governor Akeredolu breaking new grounds.

The people of Ondo have seen Aketi leading his government through thick and thin and showing bodily and emotional strength. The PDP does not know the limits of morality and true service. It must not be taken seriously at all.

The administration has been challenged to state the number of people employed through its initiatives in agriculture and industrialisation, as well as the indices of growth in healthcare services. What’s your reaction to this?

The first of the five-point agenda of the government is job creation through agriculture, entrepreneurship, and industrialisation.

The main focus is to evolve a strategic way to change our orientation from subsistence to mechanised farming and agro-business. The objective was to activate and maximise our agricultural advantage as a state by helping our youths first to believe in themselves and such possibilities and then become growing agriculture entrepreneurs whose main goal is to create wealth.

Aketi believes they can do this by applying themselves to the agro-business chain, employing others and expanding their investment base. I recall that very early in his government, he commissioned a physical registration of all medium and large scale farmers in the state, as well as the mapping of the location of each farmer’s plantation, using Geographic Information System (GIS).

This preliminary work provided precise information essential for proper planning and solution application. Today, in Ondo State alone, our vast forest wood material is being converted into the manufacture of the High-Density Fibreboard (HDF) or hardboard and the Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF), which is the best plywood in the country.

Through the sericulture project, wool fabrics of various kinds are being manufactured for the production of fabrics like ankara, lace, guinea brocade and even lawyers wig.

This is going on locally to the satisfaction of best standards. The biggest factory that converts cassava to ethanol in Africa is being constructed in the state at present. According to studies, the entire current production of cassava farmers in Ondo State accounts for no less than 20 per cent of the raw material inputs for the factory’s needs.

On cocoa production, is it not a thing of joy that Ondo State has bounced back to the top as the highest cocoa producer in Nigeria? Also, in the last one year, arrangements have been in topmost gear to commence the construction of the world’s biggest factory that converts eggs into powdered form for local consumption and export, in Emure-Ile.

These and many more are concrete indicators of motion with movements in the state.

So, how do these alleviate poverty and create much-needed jobs?

If you have been following me carefully, all I have been saying is that the three factors of production — capital, land, and labour – have been judiciously utilised. While Akeredolu’s expansive contacts and travels far and wide have brought foreign and local investors to provide the capital, the state has provided the land and labour.

So, in the entire production chain, the state and local owners of plantations have been providing the raw materials and the workforce, while the investors own the processing factories.

The distribution and retail end are owned by Nigerians, particularly our own people again. In all, you could see employment and wealth making opportunities for our people permeating.

This is because as raw material needs for the factories expand, so are more people employed in the plantations, and so are much more employed both directly and indirectly to work the processing factories.

Same goes for distribution and retail ends and the rest of the chain. The multiple expansion of this process is the Aketi vision which will account for the state’s unstoppable economic trajectory.

Now, do you think the opposition has the patience, knowledge, care, passion, and understanding of development matters like this? The difference between the opposition and Akeredolu is that while the opposition pays lip service to society by mouthing names and policies it never understands nor believes in, Akeredolu understands development and is working the dynamics to activate it and nurture it towards the economic prosperity of the state.

Let me tell you, some of these bold and sometimes challenging moves have gestation and delivery periods well beyond even the tenure of the administration.

Sometimes, to change the fortunes of a beleaguered society into prosperity, you need a leader who thinks beyond politics and election. I am convinced it is this aspect of Akeredolu that critics are finding difficult to comprehend.

Are you not worried that many of these achievements are not realistic because they are more on paper?

I do not agree that they are merely on paper. This is simply because they are not. The industrial hub, located on Ore-Sagamu Expressway tells the story.

The over 730 motorised rural borehole tells the story. The Molege rural community road is there, the Olukayode dual carriage road, the Ijoka, and Oda dual carriages, as well as the Oke Aro, Oke Ogba, Iyange, Iwalewa 1, 2, 3 and Gaga roads among others in Akure are there.

Others are the Oke Alabojuto, Lennon Jubilee, and Ikare township road, the Owo township roads, the Igbara-Oke – Ibuji road, Ifon Township roads, the Ore overhead bridge among many others.

They are all there for the eyes to see. The state industrial hub is home to a cluster of industries with shared facilities and opportunities.

If you go there, you will see among others, Weewood Industry facilities owned by Chinese investors. The machinery and the production space are there for the eyes to see.

It is also alleged that Governor Akeredolu has neglected the health sector. What is your reaction to this?

There is no doubt that the last administration did some pioneering and laudable work on health care. As the Secretary of the Strategic Development and Policy Planning Group, I know that the focus of Akeredolu administration is to create and sustain a seamless flow of capacity building and capacity utilisation of healthcare applications from primary to tertiary levels.

This ambitious plan has led to the establishment of a teaching hospital through the upgrading of the specialist hospital in Akure, to ensure correct facilities and quality training and deployment of our health practitioners.

I know that all the basic health centres in all the 203 wards are receiving remedial attention, while each of the abandoned comprehensive health centres meant as local referral centres and located in each of the nine federal constituencies is being reactivated for service.

These are products of extensive debates, clear thoughts, and foresight by the Governor of Ondo State. To make service truly affordable and accessible, the governor established by law and deed, the state contributory health insurance scheme which ensures that access is without tears.

As we speak, over one billion naira worth of drugs and medical equipment are on sea inbound for our health facilities in Ondo State, while the continuous employment of medical workers is ongoing.

The laudable Mother and Child Hospitals which are referral centres for pregnant women is being expanded from three to six in number. These are just a few among many others.

There is a wave of opposition against the governor from within the ruling party. Recently, former Deputy Governor Ali Olanusi came out with comments that portrayed Governor Akeredolu as arrogant, insensitive, and a failure. What is your comment on this?

I have said it times without number that those who have been privileged to occupy public office in the past, even if they are now expired, as it is in this case, must not be ungrateful to God and the people of Ondo State.

This is because deeds live after men. Now, everyone in the last 20 years or so who knows history will understand Chief Olanusi’s politics. My personal opinion is that men like him prefer to centre governance around themselves and at their behest only.

The basis of their support for any governor is to hold him captive under the influence of a clique organised by them. The strategy is to turn themselves into shrines at where any incumbent must worship and take instructions.

The truth is that Baba’s concept and understanding of leadership, service, and development is forlorn and alien to growth and prosperity.

This accounted for his disagreement with and eventual subversion of former Governor Olusegun Agagu under whom he was party chairman, same accounted for his unfortunate and disgraceful ouster from former Governor Olusegun Mimiko’s government.

There is no extent that men like this won’t go to find relevance and control but their weakness is that while the dynamics of leadership have changed, they have not.

Governor Akeredolu said his administration, however, redesigned the foundation that was put in place by the former administration and constructed a befitting Chapel, adding that nothing was too much to give to God.

The former Governor, Dr. Mimiko, and retired Chief Judge of the state, Justice Sehinde Kumuyi were among the dignitaries who joined Governor Akeredolu for the Dedication and Consecration of the Chapel at the Government House on Wednesday.

Scores of Religious leaders, including the Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Rev. Ayo Oladapo, labour leaders and other prominent personalities were at the Dedication and Consecration service.

Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, on Tuesday, December 17, 2019 performed the foundation-laying ceremony of a 1000 Capacity Church Auditorium for the Gospel Faith Mission International (GOFAMINT), Owo District, Folahanmi, Owo.

The Pastor-In-Charge of the Assembly, Pastor Muyiwa Alabi, said the people of the state will still enjoy Governor Akeredolu's purposeful administration for another four years.

While appreciating the Governor for gracing the foundation-laying ceremony of the 1000 Capacity Church Auditorium of the Assembly, Pastor Alabi said the Church has followed the purposeful and result-oriented administration of the Governor and realized his commitment to the development of the youths.

According to the Pastor, the Church thanked the Governor for agreeing to be present in person and to use his hands of success to lay the foundation of the ultra modern 1000 Capacity auditorium of Folahanmi Assembly.

The General Overseer, Pastor (Dr) Elijah Abina, who was represented by the Pastor-In-Charge of Region 3, Pastor Emmanuel Oluwanimotele, described the Governor as an epitome of humility.

Governor Akeredolu commended the efforts of the Church in ensuring that cultism, which is rampant among students in Folahanmi area of Owo, is now a thing of the past.

The Governor said: “But for your prayers, we won't be here today. But for your prayers we won't even be Governor. We are more than Conquerors.

“When we say we are more than a conqueror, people don't understand. More than a conqueror means that you are someone who wins battles without fighting.”

The reordered budget 2019 has been committed to the House Committee on Finance and Appropriation for scrutiny.

A letter of request to the effect of the reordering, transmitted by the Executive arm was earlier read at the plenary by the Clerk of the House, Mr Bode Adeyelu.

Speaking on the proposed reordering Deputy Majority Leader of the House, Honourable Olamide Oladiji noted that in view of the import of the components it is pertinent for members to be favourably disposed to it.

He therefore moved a motion for the debate and commitment of the reordered budget to the House Committee on Finance and Appropriation and was seconded by Honourable Sunday Olajide representing Akure South constituency 1.

Speaking under the motion, Honourable Olajide noted the various development strides of government adding that government should be encouraged to do more.

Honourables Olugbenga Omole and Akintomide Akinrogunde both noted the Infrastructural development efforts of government especially in the area of health and road construction.

They maintained that redundant funds should be moved from less vibrant to a more vibrant sector to fast track development.

Speaker of the House, Rt. Honourable Oleyelogun Bamidele David noted that the budget reordering is in the interest of the masses.

The Speaker who informed that the fund movement does not alter the figure in the 2019 budget maintained that the House of Assembly will continue to support steps to bring succour to the people.

Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, has said the Festival of Arts and Culture (ARTFEST) will drive more development in the state by projecting its rich cultural heritage to the world.

The Governor said his administration’s commitment to the development of the arts, culture and tourism sector of the state was part of his vision to explore the socio-economic potentials of arts and culture to drive tourism development, create employment and empower the people.

The Governor spoke at the opening ceremony of the 2019 Festival of Arts and Culture, held at the MKO Abiola Democracy Park, Akure.

The Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Otunba Gani Adams, graced the event, which also featured musical artists like Demola Suzi, Saint Janet and others.

The event, which was also supported by Nigerian Breweries, was filled with funfare and massive turnout.

Arakunrin Akeredolu said the Ondo Artfest platform will help to create wealth, using art and culture for employment generation and opening up the state for investors and tourists with the aim to improve the economy.



He said the Artfest template will also create the platform for various artistes to showcase their talents and propagate rich cultural heritage of the state to the outside world.

Governor Akeredolu said: ”You will agree with me that cultural festivals, such as the ARTFEST offer the perfect opportunity to experience the very best of our unique culture, which is the embodiment of our ways of life.

“More than anything else, this festival is a celebration of life. The joy of living is something every person can embrace.

"Today, with so much attention focused on the things that separate us, this festival is, however, an affirmation of elements which bind us together in a common quest to enjoy living, hence the theme TOGETHERNESS.

“Culture is a mould for uniting the people. We are therefore not unaware of the power of arts and culture to promote unity, peace, social integration and harmony in our society.

“Ondo state has a lot to showcase in the area of culture given the fact that every community in the state is uniquely endowed. We are indeed a people of rich culture which can be described as a true reflection of "a state of unity in cultural diversity.”

Speaking earlier, Aare Gani Adams urged tourists and investors to come to the state, adding that the state is safe for investment and tourism.

As the world marks the international universal health coverage day, Ondo state government says it is targetting over 400,000 residents within its first year of operation for contributory health scheme.

General Manager of The Ondo State Contributory Health Commission (ODCHS) Dr Abiodun Oyeneyin told orange fm in akure that government's target is to have at least 10 per cent of the about 4.6 million of Ondo State residents with health insurance cover.

Oyeneyin said the commission has appealled to the organized labour unions to continue conversation with civil servants to key into the formal sector plan of ODCHC in earnest.

He explained that the state government has committed itself to paying a certain premium for the benefit of the pregnant women and under 5 years old children in the state.

He tasked government, citizens and donors to contribute to the scheme, adding that health insurance is the most effective and eveidence-based contributory mechanism for health across the world through resources pooling.

Lawmakers in Ondo State, on Thursday, commended Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu for the on-going road construction across the state, saying it would ease traffic flow and boost socio-economic activities.

Mr Adeyemi Olayemi, the Chairman, Ondo State House of Assembly Committee on Works and Infrastructure, gave the commendation during an oversight function to the ongoing roads projects in the South Senatorial District of the state.

Olayemi, while expressing happiness over the ongoing construction of the first flyover in the state, that is, the Ore flyover in Odigbo Local Government area said it was long overdue.

He said that once the flyover was ready, it would bring the perennial traffic gridlock in the axis to an end.

“The Ore-Benin expressway connects Ondo to other states, which makes Ore the commercial nerve centre of the southern part of the state, but unnecessary vehicular gridlocks have subjected motorists, pedestrians and other road users to untold hardship.

“The ongoing road construction in other districts, such as the Ore flyover, will further boost commercial and tourism activities in Ore and the state at large.

“I sincerely commend Gov. Akeredolu for this giant stride, in spite of the meagre allocation,’’ the lawmaker said.

Mrs Magaret Akinsuroju, the Caretaker Chairperson, Odigbo local council, said that she was so excited that Ore was wearing a new look during her tenure, adding that the flyover would bring succour to travellers and residents.

Akinsuroju urged motorists and other road users to be patient on the Ore-Benin expressway and put into consideration the ongoing construction work in the Ore axis.

She said that motorists and other road users would benefit a lot after the completion of the road projects.

“I am so happy and thank our amiable governor for standing by his promise to construct the first-ever flyover in the state; the residents of this council appreciate this gesture and this will remain in our minds for a long time,’’ she said.

Meanwhile, Mr Daniels Mansur, the Project Manager, Craineburg Construction Company, the firm handling the Ore flyover, said that rain was the only challenge hindering the project.

Mansur said that the flyover would be completed and handed over to the state government by the second week of January 2020.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the house committee members on works and infrastructure also inspected the ongoing township road construction in Araromi Obu seaside in Okitipupa council area.

The committee members also visited the ongoing township road construction in Kiribo, Ese-Odo LGA and the Owodunni road construction in Irele Local Government area.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that other committee members were Messrs Olugbenga Akogun, Samuel Aderoboye, Ademola Edamisan, Festus Adefiranye, Tomide Akinribido, Simeon Borokini and Taofik Mohammed.

Oyo state no?

Women and their wahala, how is this a news now

When you care about others, you create a strong bond. You are able to connect and understand their interests and perspective.

It’s important to remember that the story we tell in our minds is different from the story playing in the minds of others. It is only through listening intently to others that you can begin to understand these differences. When you listen you learn, and when you learn you gain insight.
There is a story behind every leader, a reason why they are the way they are.

Ondo state has witnessed massive innovations that creates added value to the people of the state within the space of two and a half years in areas of
technology , healthcare, agriculture, education, work, infrastructure, commerce, culture, tourism, women affairs, empowerment of the physically challenged persons, empowerment of women and youth, acquisition of soft loans and grants, sports, and many other emerging innovations.

Ondo state has increased her innovation capacity to capture trends, take advantage of emerging technologies, re-energize the dead manufacturing sectors, provide opportunities to the disconnected, and accelerate the pace at which businesses grow and investors find breaking grounds in the state economy .

The ondo state governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu is an Innovator who is committed to diversity and understands that it takes many different points of view to fully grasp the complexity of economic, technological and other challenges.

Being innovative means doing things differently. An innovator is someone who has embraced this idea and creates environments in which investors are given the tools and resources to challenge the status quo, push boundaries and achieve growth

Air services is a necessary condition for development and diversification of the nation’s economy. Air transport has a key role to play in the development of various regions in Nigeria. Air travel is a popular means of traveling in today's society. This is because Air transportation has made travel possible in a very short period of time resulting in a market that has grown significantly.

Ondo state under the leadership of Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu SAN has positions itself as the number one destination for business, growth and investment. Ondo state is truly an investors friendly state.

This innovation has undoubtedly added value to sustainable development in Ondo state .

Governor Akeredolu is an authentic leader who is committed to creating new innovations which are highly productive in his day to day running of the state.

Wondering why the empathetic leader is the best leader? Empathy is a leadership competency – like no other skill- that can make a big difference when it comes to leadership

Empathy means listening attentively, putting your complete focus on the person in front of you without becoming distracted.

Governor Akeredolu one day one innovation.
