Ondo: Oyedele Accuse Akeredolu Of Running A Government Of Secrecy

The Executive Director, Engineering and Technical Services of Niger Delta Power Holding Company, Ife Oyedele, have accused Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State of running a government of secrecy.

The Director of NDPHC noted that the Ondo State governor run a government where his family are the one in charge of governance.

Oyedele who has the intention to run for the governorship race in the state revealed that the state has witnessed stunted growth under the Akeredolu-led administration.

He stated this while speaking with beneficiaries of the Senate Deputy Majority Leader’s empowerment programme over the weekend at Oka-Akoko.

Oyedele said, “I’m certain that all the setbacks we are currently witnessing in Ondo State will soon be a thing of the past.”

“What has baffled us the most is that every four years we do elect governors but what have pained us the most is that they seem not to have any plan. What we have in Ondo State today is the government of the governor, wife and for his children.”

“No indigene of Ondo State today can be proud of the situation of the state. This year makes is the 44th year when Ondo State was created. I don’t think there is any building within the state that has portable water from the government. In some parts of the state, people have been battling with electricity blackout for over 10 years. They only rely on the ‘I better pass my neighbour generator’. What this means is that a child of about 10 years of age has never seen electricity from the national grid.”

He pointed to the state of roads across Ondo State and the education system in the state.

“I don’t want to talk about the state of the roads across Ondo State because you are all passing through it on a daily basis. When I was growing up, we used to have some top-notch schools such as Victory College, Ondo Boys High School, Stella Marris, Fiwasaye among others but now Ondo State can no longer compete favourably within the country’s education system.”

“Ondo State is perhaps the only state out of the six western states that have no sports stadium 44 years after. Ekiti State that is beside us here has one. Ekiti has an ultra-modern Governor’s Office and Governor’s Lodge that can stand at par with those in developed countries. All tourism organizations in Ondo State are history today”.
