MENTION ASIWAJU TINUBU'S NAME IN ONDO AND THEN GET BEATEN BLACK AND BLUE!!!

The mention or the defense of the name of the celebrated national leader of the APC, in the person of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Jagaban of Borgu in Ondo State from what occurred yesterday, Thursday, September 21, 2017 in Ondo state might have become a no go area, a name that grates the supporters of the Ondo State Governor in such a negative way, that it would bring on such who would do otherwise, opprobrium and by extension the beatings of their lives, at least Commissioner Bola Ilori, had to find that out in a hard way just yesterday.

The curious thing is that it is the same party, the APC that's in charge in the state and not even the opposition!

One would have thought that after the hard fought Ondo election that brought in Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu SAN, also known as "Aketi" to power, bygones would have become bygones and since it's one same political party, everyone would have come back together as one blood, one family forgetting the past and moving on, but alas that as not been the case. At least showing by the event of yesterday.

Bola Ilori as the Commissioner for Regional Integration in Osun State under the current administration of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, was at the Ondo State capital as a representative of Osun State for an event, the zonal meeting of the APC, which held at the International Event Center. As he made to answer some interviews the political thugs came hard on him, the result of which was embarrassment and disgrace.

According to him, thugs under the authority of a close ally of the Governor in the person of the SSG, let lose mayhem and chaos on the Commissioner, beating him blue-black and tearing his outfit and even underwear to shreds! In an action being interpreted as not just a way to totally disgrace the Commissioner, but also indirectly sending a veiled message to his bosses, in the persons of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola and ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU that their influence holds no water whatsoever in Ondo State.

Some people are already tagging the despicable and disgraceful action as the "voice of Jacob and the hand of Esau kind of thing. Bola Ilori and Bola Ahmed Tinubu and co were said to have worked very hard against the emergence of Akeredolu as the APC candidate months back, so now that against all odds Aketi emerged and even went on to win and become the Executive Governor of Ondo State, this is now pay back time.

So all traducers beware, Ondo State takes no prisoners!!!!





  

ONDO STATE AND GOVERNOR OLUWAROTIMI ODUNAYO AKEREDOLU

Governor Rotimi Akeredolu

Uneasy is the head that wears the crown is what they normally say and we can bet that's the current situation with the handsome white beard wearing SAN and Governor of Ondo State.

Heard that as it is currently, one of the major headache the Governor is battling and seriously grappling with is the monumental indebtedness he met on ground when he came on as Governor. So colossal is the debt that it can cause the faint hearted to give up.

But still yet not wanting to have a defeatist attitude, he has plunged headlong into the situation and his making every effort at finding how to unravel the complicated knots.

We hear that servicing the debt alone mad and is deducted straight from source by the FG. So before the state's monthly allocation is received, some major macheting is done, so what arrives can only just​ sort out salaries and little more.

So for the man who had made many promises in his campaign to get here, the reality on ground is a bit scary and not too nice. So to try to meet up one way or the other, is taking some very ingenious manuevirings at least to make the little happening now to even happen.

It's not even like what normally accrues to the state in the 1st instance is anything great or extraordinary, but that stipend and couoled with the overload of weight and expectations is causing his excellency's white beard to be going more platinum by the day.

One only hopes that respite one way or the other, would come the way of the Governor, somewhere, somehow.

Maybe by virtue of foresight now, it would have been better not to have thought to carry this kind of unrelenting weight at all from the start.

But like they also say, it is where the battle is fiercest, that one sees the strong/hero/Champion or powerful.
