Why Aregbesola has failed as governor – Bello
gubernatorial aspirant on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) Rt. Hon. Adejare Bello has flayed the Governor of the state,
Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola over his style of governance.
He said the governor failed the people 'due to his passiveness to
advice and dissenting views'.
He said the "all-knowing " attitudes of the Governor was responsible
for bad leadership and administration in the state, with attendant
socio-economic woes that gave the state a negative posture among other
federating units.
Bello, who was at the State Secretariat of the PDP to express his
intention to run for the September 22, 2018 gubernatorial election in
the state, said he would bring his vast experience in governance to
bear if elected as governor.
He added that his wealth of experience and political exposure, having
worked with three different governors while in the parliament, put him
in the right footing to do things differently from what was presently
obtainable in the state.
"We had a similar economic challenges during the administration of
Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola, when the money coming to the state as
monthly allocation was not up to N2bn, and there was a newly approved
minimum wage, which posed a serious financial burden to the
government.
"Governor Oyinlola had first refused to listen to the labour on the
implementation of the new minimum wage, I waded in as the speaker, and
he listened to me and did the needful, that is what good leadership
entails.
"That is exactly what governor Aregbesola is lacking, he believes he
knows more than everybody, which makes him not to listen to advice and
dissenting views, unfortunately, that is solely responsible for his
failure.
"It is against this backdrop that I am presenting myself to the party
leadership to intimate them of my resolve to contest the forth coming
gubernatorial election on the platform of the party.
"I promise to run an all-inclusive government; if given the
opportunity to serve, I will give the necessary sense of belongings to
everybody in the decision-making process of the state", Bello said.
The Chairman of the party, Prince Soji Adagunodo in his response,
commended Bello for his courage and efforts.
He promised that the party, under his leadership would create a level
playing ground for every aspirant to vie for the party's ticket,
adding that internal democracy within the party would be strictly
upheld.
