I have been forced to ask this question because of show of shame, abuse and arrogant display of power by the office of the deputy governor during the just concluded Iganmode day festival
A letter was sent to Sen. Adeola Solomon to co- host this year’s festival of Ota people together with our own Deputy governor and the Governor as Chief Host. He wanted to turn it down politely and I’m aware of the reason, part of is insult he received from our people I have to personally appeal to him to honor and do whatever he can do for the success of the festival.
Yayi paid for the stage, the Sound system and the Musicia (Pasuma) that played that day, the total cost can not be less 10m naira. Our own daughter the deputy governor only paid for the cost of an MC from Abeokuta, the main objective is to come and discredit Yayi and make sure Yayi, the Senator representing our Ogun west in the red chamber and the Chairman committee that is in charge of budget was given chance to talk. It has never happened during Iganmode day that an MC will be brought from outside to come and anchor our program.
When Yayi entered the venue with an intimidating crowd, the MC brought by the deputy governor, standing on the stage, paid for by Yayi and using the public address system brought by Yayi to talk nonsense.
Unfortunately for me I was busy attending to our party members, I would have walked to the stage take the mic from him and pushed him down the stage and asked him to go and meet the person who brought him there to provide him with the stage and mic to address her people.
The show of shame was so glaring by the MC was so glaring that acknowledge the presence of notable personalities like chief Mrs Apampa, Baba Ajibola, chief Agemo, Alh Popoola who have been at the venue as early 12noon. There is no where the governor will see them and he will not acknowledge their presence.
When Iganmode festival took off on Monday Jigi Yayi and Free Medical Services was equally flagged off at the palace of Olota so that our people who came for the festival will benefit, our own deputy governor called the Chairman of the committee of Iganmode not to allow the program to take place because it is Awori Festival and Yayi is a Yewa man. The question is it not our own Ota people that will benefit from this? That day we were fully prepared waiting for the bastard that will stop the program. The turn out was so impressive, free eye text and glasses and expensive drugs were distributed. There was a case of a 12yr old girl that has problem with one of her eyes, I took her to see the doctor, after examination the doctor concluded she would need surgery. Her particulars was collected and promised to recommend to Yayi to bear the total cost of the surgery.
Sen Solomon Adeola has embarked on more than 16 projects going on across our LG;
Ota Itele road ready for asphalting,
Town Event center along Itele road,
ICU of international standards at Ota General Hospital,
Massive construction in Iganmode grammar school,
Massive construction at Police School, Idimu.
Road Construction at Abule Iroko
Martina Road in Sango,
Massive construction at St Steven pry school Ado- Odo
Construction of open and locked up shops at Lusada market,
Road construction at Ado Odo
Anglican Odo Pako, Bible College road and I also recommended Temidire road which is in bad shape.
In terms of empowerment, more than five thousand of indigens of this LG have benefited from this Yayi program. They were trained and given equipment and money to start their business. These equipment include sewing machines, Drier Welding machines vulcanized units Deep freezer etc. Yayi has distributed Transformers to different communities in Ota with one million naira installation fees.
What is the benefits of having a deputy governor in Ota when wrong and bad decision was taken, that Egba TRADITIONAL COUNCIL was the prescribed Authority over SANGO OTA at the State Exco with both Deputy Governor and Tunji Akinosi in attendance
What is the benefits of having deputy governor in Ota that can not use her position to solve the Alatan of Atan issue. The file has been on the table Commissioner for Justice who shared the same building with HE
Yayi that you use your instrument of office to prevent from addressing the people of Ota paid 2million naira to buy 500 pieces of Ankara that were distributed to our local people at home the ones you bought were shared in Abeokuta and few at home and you saw the the results on the field that day. Our people would have made one million naira on the transaction and they will be happy.
Ur excy I was expecting you to bring some of your fellow deputy governors to Iganmode day like Yayi did during Yewa festival to donate, but instead you invited a minister another Iyeru Okin omo OLOFA MOJO to come and introduce himself as your cousin at the of the speech “kilo bade’ how much did he donate? nothing!
Last year Akesan day at Iperu, the governor Prince Dapo Abiodun invited Yayi to the event when he was called to deliver his speech he donated 50m. Here because of abuse of power, Senator representing us in the senate was prevented to deliver his speech
Wether Yayi was allowed to talk or not the people of Ota have spoken they have demonstrated their love for you with your triumphant entry in to the venue with the unprecedented large crowd that followed you
I appeal to our Senator to ignore all that happened that day.
To know how popular Yayi is in Ota I challenge you all for popularity trek in some of the major streets in Ota and see the results
Hon Lai Taiwo
