Two years in office: Sosanwo scores Abiodun’s administration high

Says Governor Abiodun good enough for another term

James Ogunnaike – Abeokuta

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State, Adeola Sosanwo has commended the Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, over his ability to espouse good governance and deliver landmark projects across the state in the last two years.

Sosanwo, who described Abiodun as “God’s special gift” to Ogun, stated this in a chat with newsmen, in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital.

According to him, “the sterling performance of the governor in the last two years is already a good basis to allow him to continue in office till 2027”.

He declared that the turnaround Ogun State has witnessed since Abiodun assumed office in 2019, has made him become a model to his contemporaries.

“In the last two years, every part of Ogun State has been objecting of his focus for development. The education sector with rehabilitation and construction of over 700 classrooms is there for all to see. What of the massive upgrading of all our primary health centres and other health facilities owned by the state government?

“The governor has equally demonstrated so much committed interest in infrastructure; Ogun is now a massive construction site and the road projects we are talking about having a direct impact on the lives of people of the state.

“Some of these roads are Ijebu Ode-Epe ten-lane road, the reconstruction of Sagamu-Siun-Abeokuta Expressway, Ajuwon-Alagbole-Akute road, the recently flagged off Lusada-Atan-Agbara among several others

“These are in addition to so many other access roads across the 20 local government areas. In my own town, Sagamu, aside from constant maintenance of existing roads, the long-abandoned Oba Erinwole Road and some others are under construction with standard drainages

“Just like many people have said, I strongly believe that Governor Abiodun has so far justified the confidence reposed in him and he is certainly good enough for another term of four years”. Sosanwo submitted.

The anatomy of EndSars protests as an incomplete revolution (1)

By Douglas Anele Supposing an alien from another planet or solar system visits the earth with capacity to rank the various races of human beings according to their contributions to civilisation particularly in the last six hundred years or so, that alien would perhaps place the black race at the lowest grade. And because Nigeria contains the greatest concentration of black people in the world (one in every four black persons is a Nigerian according to one estimate), a race that worked with European and Arab enslavers to sell their own people like commodities and shamelessly adopted the bizarre religions of their oppressors, it is probably not out of place to assume that that may be the reason the country has been retrogressing for decades. The history of denigrating black people is long and heart-wrenching. Not only do the scriptures of Abrahamic religions contain passages that dehumanise black people, philosophers as enlightened as John Locke, David Hume, Immanuel Kant and G.W.F. ...

10-kilometre walk in rememberance of Bruce Mayrock (1949 – 1969)

By Chike Anyaonu I got to know about this name, Bruce Mayrock, some four years ago through Barrister CHUDI Ofodile’s book titled The Politics of Biafra: and The Future Of Nigeria and published by Safari Books Limited, Ibadan in 2016. Ever since then, I have been trying to dig deeper and deeper into the archives to learn more about this young altruistic, dynamic and benevolent personality. An enigma of sorts, for that matter. Ofodile had, in chapter seven of his book, cited Bruce as one of “Biafra’s non- Igbo actors”, those who participated in one way or the other to fight the cause of the ill-fated Republic of Biafra that were not of Igbo origin. One of them who is still alive today is Wole Shoyinka. Though this write up is a kind of joint tribute to all of them, Bruce Mayrock, for me, deserves a special and everlasting mention. He was not an African, but a citizen of the United States of America. So what concerned a 20-year-old university student in America with what ...
