Osun state PDP has accused the state APC of exhibiting ignorance about telemedicine, digital economy and what it called extraordinary performance of Governor Ademola Adeleke in his first 100 days in office.
The party also said ‘it is not true’ that the state has gotten N90 billion naira from different sources in the last three months.
Acting state PDP Chairman ,Dr Adekunle Akindele in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com said ‘Governor Adeleke is a man of due process and rule of law, who has subjected all government’s financial transactions to public financial regulations. He is not like the former government that had breached all known procurement rules, circumvented financial regulations and foisted an opaque financial management system on the state’.
‘The state account is open to the public and the public knows without being told that Governor Adeleke is not a thieving governor like those of the past as his focus and attention is on delivery of good governance. Because PDP and its government have outperformed the APC and proved that people’s needs can be met, the APC has become disillusioned and cannot even offer believable lies against a Governor whose popularity rating is now hitting 90 percent.
The statement by the State APC has just confirmed why former Governor Gboyega Oyetola failed woefully as his team are ignorant of the significant advances in the field of digital economy financing through telecom investors, expansion of health care access to the poor through telephone powered telemedicine and innovations in good governance delivery through selfless leadership.
Reading through the APC statement, you feel a party uneducated with stone age mentality about broadband fiber optic, the imperative of access to health care through mobile phones, the new governance mantra of people first in disbursement of public funds, the focus on people-impacting projects like the ongoing 332 boreholes projects across the wards, the life -giving impact of ongoing statewide medical surgeries with targeted 18,000 beneficiaries among others.
Because the APC under Mr Oyetola ran a sadistic, anti-people and anti-labour movement, its leadership cannot see the clearing of the half salary and pension challenges as achievements. The APC rejoices in inflicting pains on the workers and the people of the state and so the party is dazed and in disarray by the wonderful performance of Governor Adeleke across the sectors.
If the APC leadership is shameful, it is sufficient for it to listen to the voice of Osun people and their positive rating of the PDP government. Adeleke is delivering on all critical areas of the state economy, building new roads, rehabilitating old ones and taking Osun on digital world map to create jobs and wealth for our people.
Osun people should know that for four years ,former Governor Oyetola refused to allow the laying of broadband fiber optics for Osun state. Under three months, Governor Adeleke approved an MOU and flagged off the laying of the broadband internet connectivity cable. The project to be financed by telecom investors will interconnect Osun state without the state patching a kobo. To the stone age operatives of APC , expanding internet access in Osun state through the fiber optic project has no meaning. For Osun to now have the first state ICT Policy, State Tech innovations policy and domestication of the national start up act are no achievements. But the educated and enlightened world and citizenry are full of praise for Governor Adeleke for achieving these feats’ the statement said.
‘Osun people are aware that the APC abandoned many critical projects including the Osogbo-Ikirun -Kwara boundary road project. Governor Adeleke re-mobilised the contractor to site and the road is billed for inauguration on Friday. Considering the fact that Mr Oyetola abandoned the road for four years, is it not a commendable achievement for Governor Adeleke to have completed the project?
The APC team is dazed and confused. All what Mr Oyetola said cannot be done are being achieved and implemented by Governor Ademola Adeleke’ he added.
He noted that Adeleke has been committed to managing the state resources transparently , blocking leakages in revenue generation and redirecting disbursement of public funds to areas of needs of the people.
Dr Akindele, who reassured Osun people of more dividends of democracy, called on voters to punish the APC and the party’s candidates by voting overwhelmingly for the PDP candidates in the upcoming House of Assembly election.
‘By persisting in lies as an incorrigible bunch of maladministrators, APC should be hammered hard on the Election Day. Let the outcome be 26 -0 against the APC. That is the way to reaffirm the support of our people for good governance’ the statement concluded-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
