Is Oyo State made up of small minded people because they’ve not managed to produce any leader that can be like Chief Obafemi Awolowo.
While modern day governors in Lagos and Ogun states are doing innovative projects in Oyo the achievements of governors is payments of salaries and pensions and a legacy of debts.
No electricity generation. No refinery, no vehicle manufacturing project or even airplane assembly project.
And another time for the election of new leaders is around the corner and we may yet miss the opportunity to elect a genuine leader who is capable of midwiving Oyo state into a modern state if care is not taking.
Focus of course is on the All people congress where we have mainly gamblers seeking to occupy the office.
No genuine plans but let me just win elections. People who had been mainly civil servants or only political office holders all theirs lives though they have managed to make money by whatever means like ‘gambling’.
These are the people in the race. People like governor Seyi Makinde whose tenure in office offers the people of the state only payment of salaries, routine infrastructural development etc unashamedly comparing themselves only with former failures. With no vision to make Oyo state a manufacturing hub which it was destined to be. We must do away with Seyi Makinde’s replicas and pick someone who can genuinely take Oyo State to another level.
Senator Sarafadeen doesn’t appear to me as a man with the vision. He’s had enough time to express it.
Of course when he becomes governor he’ll help himself and a whole lot of those who are running after him now to some money.
The vision to transform Oyo State is not in his head he’s just going to beat around the bush, and take Oyo State a few decades back.
