The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has described the last minute rumoured approach to the Supreme Court over the disbursement of the local government councils’ allocations by the Governor Ademola Adeleke-led government is an indication that the government is seriously confused, rudderless and in a big mess just because of the state government’s refusal to be simply law abiding.
The latest approach of the apparently confused Governor Adeleke’s administration is an indication that it has reached a dead end on the futile efforts to grab the people’s allocations at the grassroots, which are meant for delivery of good governance inclusive of dividends of democracy
by the local governments to their people after all efforts to get ill-conceived propaganda from the backdoor on the issue proved abortive.
The way and manners the Osun State Government has been going about the local government allocations issue from the Federal Government underscore the fact that it lacks diplomacy, competence and simple understanding required to govern at any level not to talk of a complex state like Osun.
With this development, the principal active players propelling the machinery of Governor Adeleke’s government should cover their faces in shame as the whirlwind has blown to metaphorically expose the anus of the fowl, indicating the emptiness of the man at the helm of affairs in the state.
One needs not to beat about the bush to submit and conclude that Osun State is in a serious problem under the watch of Governor Adeleke as almost all things are in tupsy-turfy since the inauguration of his inglorious administration in 2022.
When the head is rotten, the torso is definitely in a serious irredeemable problem which is the hallmark of a leader who is both pathologically and fundamentally challenged.
The truism of the globally overburdened cliche that it is pretty impossible for someone to give what he does not possess is playing out in Osun State under Governor Adeleke’s administration as there is nothing to show that the governor possesses what it takes to effectively govern the state most especially when issues involved have to do with legal principles.
Governance goes beyond mere constantly engaging in sloganeering and ridiculously dancing at every event which has been seen as a ploy to cover up administrative ineptitude and gross incompetence, which have become the imprimatur of this administration.
It is surprising that the government that has a duty to respect the rule of law is the one promoting mudslinging and blackmail to bully the opposition to silence over their lawful reinstatement into the councils and the Federal Government and its ministers to act contrary to the laws of the land.
One is surprised that the same government that quickly discontinued its earlier suit at the Supreme Court less than six weeks ago has rushed again to the same court over the same issues with no different facts.
It is a big proof of a fact that Osun State is in a big mess to have once entrusted its future in the hands of the current occupiers of the Bola Ige House.
