The Ogun State All Progressives Congress (APC) youth wing chapter on Thursday declared that Governor Dapo Abiodun is “not slow” in his style of governance contrary to the insinuations by people.
The youth said the multifaceted achievements of Abiodun – including renovation of schools across the state, roads rehabilitation, upgrading of general hospitals, organising of ancho 236 wardsr borrowers program and partnership with Chinese firm company on agribusiness put a lie to the insinuations that he or his government is “slow.”
Rasheed Aroboto, the leader of the youth, made the clarification while responding to questions from newsmen at a press conference, APC State Secretariat, Abeokuta, to assess the Governor prior to commencement of the Annual General Meeting of the state party of the Youth Wing.
He appealed to Abiodun to release in its entirety, the transport union activities in the state to the core party members who stood solidly behind him and the party during the election period, handover and commit the affairs of the union to capable hands in the party who are well equipped with the knowledge and well entrenched in the modus operandi of the union.
Aroboto said: “Despite the short period of being in office, the Governor has performed excellently well beyond imagination and the entire youth wing of the All Progressive Congress Ogun State Chapter, hereby passes a vote of confidence on our Governor, that; the Executive Governor of Ogun State, His Excellency, and Prince Dapo Abiodun will surely deliver”.
He however expressed concern over the laudable development which seems to have left the youths of the state out, wandering if the youths are still considered as an apex body of his government.
“Are the youths now considered as an alien, a misfit or being surplus to requirement in governance?. Is the Governor trying to say that “amidst millions of youths in the state, none is capable of holding pole position in his administration”. This calls for a serious scrutinization as it is an established fact that “no government can be put in place without the inclusiveness and support of the Youth populace.”
“Ogun state is blessed with innovative and politically experienced youths who are well capable of being a commissioner, Senior Special Assistant, Special Assistants and Local Government liaison officers to the Governor on various levels.
“The Governor is making the youths of the state assume that he is planning to walk on the path of his predecessor; who made the youth suffered so much despite their involvement in putting him at the helm of the State affairs”.
Aroboto therefore urged party leaders, to liaise with the Governor on behalf of the youth who have worked and suffered so much for the party, and labored painstakingly for the emergence of the governor, not to be ignored and abandoned.
