…. PDP’s Uncanny Attacks Were Expected
Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has lambasted the main Opposition party, People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Ondo state chapter over alleged mass looting of the state resources by his family members.
In a Press Statement made available to SUNSHINETRUTH in Akure on Wednesday, the Spokesman of the party, Hon Kennedy Peretei had stated that such alleged looting amounts to misrule.
But reacting on behalf of Governor Akeredolu, the State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Donald Ojogo said PDP is a lazy opposition and can not distract the state government.
“One big error is public governance is the fear of taking decisions, and it becomes unpardonably gravious when sound decisions are avoided over what I consider unresourceful criticisms.
“There is no way such sound appointment as that of Babajide would not have elicited uncanny attacks from the PDP. They were expected. Ours is to be focused on what we are doing for the good people of the State and not to be distracted by lazy opposition.
“When Jang appointed his son, Yakubu as a commissioner in Plateau, it was okay for them; what about Okowa who did it in Delta? When their Principal’s brothers in Ondo literally did all appointments while they held sway, it was okay. We can only enjoy their gallery-looking dance. They are hypocritical aside being saddened by their antecedents.
‘We are more concerned about the deliverables in whatever we do as a Government. In this particular instance of Mr Governor’s decision in respect of the son, it cannot be said otherwise; he made a right decision.
“This young man has been doing a lot behind scene in the last five years plus, to enhance good governance. He has demonstrated enough capacity in many respects. Time will tell as we sail along in full steam.
“I think the problem PDP has is the fact of apparent intimidation that a very sound and balanced second term cabinet has berthed”, Akeredolu said
