Let The Poor Breathe, Don’t Suffocate Them, By Ayodele Ogun Dele

When a government fails in its responsibilities to provide the basic necessities to the citizens, unwanted 'wahala' will be the order of the day. Ogun state local government council chairmen and the state government must be brought to the supreme court of the masses to explain and account for the billions of naira allocated to local governments for the betterment of the people at the grassroots.

 

Ogun state as of today is a Nigerian state with a questionable security situation (Shagamu), questionable road network, questionable workers welfare and above all, a questionable mode of governance. 

 

The scenario between Emperor Dapo Abiodun and Hon. Wale Adedayo, clearly exposed the oppressive system of governance run by some political class in the country.

 

The closest government to the grassroots is the local government and unfortunately, most local governments have been rendered powerless and functionless due to rots in our governance. The gentleman, Wale Adedayo has clearly pointed out what a right citizen and a local government leader should have done against an authoritarian Emperor like Governor Dapo Abiodun. 

The question is: is the allegation against the governor true and what has happened to Ogun state local government allocations that are worth billions of naira?

 

This is what the governor needs to put answers to, instead of using force and power to silence Wale Adedayo, who stood his feet against injustice on Ogun state citizens. The citizens have the right to demand answers from the administration of any government on how they are governed. 

The young man’s impeachment was instigated to cover up the atrocities and maladministration in Ogun state.

The citizens of the state must be taken as a priority in governance and they shouldn't be suffocated by Emperor Dapo Abiodun while the billions of naira in question meant for the good citizens of Ogun must be accounted for by Dapo Abiodun and local governments should be given full autonomy to run without any hindrances from all these parasitic state governors.
