We Are Tired Of Being Marginalized, Odo-Otin Cries Out

One of the widely respected leaders in Odo-Otin, as well as a frontline politician in the Progressives fold, prince Hon. George Durosinmi has expressed his concern and chagrin in regards how the leaders in Progressive party have not been "fair" to the people of Odo-Otin in terms of sharing elective posts in respect of the pertinent three Local Governments.

He vouchsafed in the presence of the visiting ODO-OTIN PEOPLE'S CONCERN " He said the party leaders in  Ifelodun and Boripe have marginalized us in Odo-Otin. Hon. George Durosinmi confirmed that,  all the aspirants contesting in Odo-otin, have obtained the form of House of Representatives and had submitted and undergoing the screening at National Secretariat in  Abuja. They are  proudly from Odo-Otin. If the party wants to be honest and transparent to us in Odo-otin, the slot of House of Representatives ticket must be allocated and contested among Odo-Otin Aspirants."

Hon. George Durosinmi

In his analysis, Hon. George Durosinmi explained that, since the dispensation of this present Democracy, the post has been rotated between Boripe and Ifelodun. "I want us to check the history, late Hon. Oyetunji in 1999 was from Ifelodun,  he contested he won and in 2003 the same Hon. Oyetunji contested and loosed. While Hon. Wale Afolabi was given the ticket many times which he lost to the opposition. Even the late Hon. Alabi from Odo-Otin did not hold the ticket from Progressive Party, and Hon. Yinka Ajayi Boripe, held the ticket from 2011 till 2019. Now Ifelodun Hon. Rasheed Afolabi is also from Ifelodun 2019 till date".

Hon. Durosinmi continued and said, "that let us consider the people of Odo-Otin for the post of House of Representatives because it was marginalized since inception of politics since 1999, and in terms of voting strength Odo-Otin has a larger vote transcending the vote strength of other Local Governments in Ifelodun, Boripe and Odo-Otin Federal Constituency. There is nowhere the leaders in Odo-Otin sat, deliberated, and denied the ticket of House Representatives".

Hon. George Durosinmi said all the aspirants  are competent candidates exceedingly transparent, accountable, and utterly dedicated to the service of humanity as second to none. 

Hon. George Durosinmi

Therefore, since exception of politics 1999 till today Ifelodun was given the opportunity to contested for four (4) times while Boripe was given two (2) times but Odo-Otin was left out. 

Hon. George Durosinmi exhorted the leaders to zone the ticket of House of Representatives to Odo-Otin. 

He said, "It is the right thing to do. I assure the leaders of the  party that this will reinforce and boost the voting strength of the party in Odo-Otin. Hence we can forge ahead with dynamism, zest and progress,"

Ado Ekiti: A State Capital littered with wastes and excreta

The capital of any state is a model of all the other local governments in terms of infrastructure, population and well organised streets and quarters.

This is as a result of concentrated government presence, head of all state parastatals and private sectors. The commercial activities is another angle that makes the capital of any state different from any town or city as a large percentage of the population is  found there. It is therefore, notable that any infrastructural development will take it's roots firmly as the town or city will surely play host to any important events or personalities. These activities explains why  everything is always structured in any state capital to  meet up  with modern expectations.

A state capital is therefore expected to be neat, clean and its  environment attractive. But reverse seems to be the case of Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti  state capital  where the town is littered with refuse,excreta and blocked gutters which has resulted in flood whenever it rains.

One wonders the effectiveness of the Ekiti state waste management board which has the sole responsibility of maintaining and ensuring a clean and healthy environment with customized pick up lorries going the length and breadth of Ado Ekiti to pack refuses deposited carelessly along major roads, markets and gutters in the state capita. But it appears the work is already  overwhelming the board either because the town is too big to be managed or the board itself is being poorly managed as one or two waste vehicle is mostly seen parading the streets.

Some areas in Ado Ekiti are very worse and there maybe fears of break out of environmental diseases because of the very many risk the environment is posing to the residents of the area.

The Atikankan area is the worse hit with open defecation, indiscriminate dumping of waste and the unhygienic practises of the residents mainly the Hausa/Fulani's who had made the area their abode.

Approaching Atikankan or Isato Isale as fondly  called, one can perceive the foul odour coming from the large drainage which comes from old garage through the market, Mosque to Atikankan and Ajilosun respectively. The mountain of refuse in this drainage which should ordinarily serve as erosion controller has blocked any possible free flow of erosion which most times result into flood affecting lots of places and sometimes flow out to the main road. One begins to wonder where the east management board visits or where the community health workers take as priority.

About two months ago, this reporter went to the office of the state waste management board to have a view of what actually is preventing the board to be effective in discharging its duties properly. But on getting there after going through a whole lots of stress to get through to one of the Directors of the Board who gave me an appointment with the sole administrator Mr. Bayo Keleku I was to meet with the biggest embarrassment of my life.

The sole administrator, Mr. bayo Keleku refused an interview and vehemently showed his intolerance to journalists. In his words " You journalists should go and write what you feel and I will write mine as well " no amount of explanation from me that my coming was in the interest of the board and the masses who are complaining bitterly that Ado Ekiti is far from being called a model city with the way wastes  litters the every corner and streets.  I was even prevented from taking pictures of waste lorries which were probably not in good condition even as they were lined up in front of the buildings.

Maybe this explains why the town is being filled up with refuses and garbage .
Till now, apart from the major roads Adebayo to Ajilosun to be precise there  hardly is any street in Ado Ekiti that is free from this menace.

This is rather embarrassing for the state known as fountain of knowledge or Land of Honour depending as the case maybe. A visit to Oja Oba market, Olujoda, Ajilosun  and the notoriously Atikankan  and one begins to wonder if Government is effective in curbing the indiscriminate disposal of refuse in the state capital.

The Atikankan residents are found of defecating openly and still cook their food beside the refuse with reckless abandon, I was lucky not to have my phone broken as I tried to take pictures of people defecating openly in the gutters.

I have tried unsuccessfully to get across to the community health workers on why Atikankan and some areas are always bypassed whenever a monthly sanitation exercises that always receives loud ovations on radios, television and other media outlets takes place.
It is not enough to speak on air but also enforce it even if it means going down to this aforementioned area to take a look at how worse things have become.

If drastic actions are not taken, the consequences ranging from flood and break out of environmental Diseases maybe inevitable.

ADP Chairman dumps party says National Letter suspending him has no title

......as Idowu Afuye gatecrashes into press conference as members disown him

By: Idowu Adebomi

The chances of the Gubernitorial candidate of the Action Democratic Party in the forthcoming gubernatorial election come June 18 may have suffered a setback as the embattled chairman of the party Pastor Olakunle Emmanuel has officially dumped the party.

In a press conference held at the NUJ Secretariat Oke Bareke on may 17th 2022, the Party chairman flanked by all his state executives and members addressed members of the press on the purported suspension by the National body of the party as a fluke even as he maintained that the party National body has no property at the state level.

In his statement, Pastor Abegunde said the letter was never at any point in time directed to him as he bears Abegunde Olakunle Emmanuel and not Adekunle Abegunde as addressed in the letter.

" when I rented office at a cost of 200,000 naira for the party last year, the National Headquarters addressed me as Pastor. The invitation sent to me was verbal which I received on Sunday and as a clergy man and could not go on such journey because I had to go to church and I begged for the meeting to be rescheduled but till now I got no reply. The allegations are therefore untenable and unfounded".

Pastor Olakunle also used the medium to disown the ADP deputy governorship candidate Idowu Afuye who has since teamed up with the All progressive congress.

" It was Kemi Elebute who on Friday 13 may 2022 declared that the purported defection was fake and that Idowu Afuye has written a letter of apology to her. In that case nobody was informed if he defected or not.

" We didn't know or support Afuye as her Deputy she brought him herself and till now i as the chairman never met Afuye except once when he came to apologise for not showing up in meetings.

I pastor ( Chief) Abegunde Emmanuel Olakunle Chairman of the Action Democratic party, Ekiti state hereby declare that I drop and quit the ADP as from this hour"

Asked if he will team up with the ruling party as Afuye has done, the ex Party chairman said members and state excos will determine his next line of action.

Meanwhile, the press conference was nearly ruffled up when the defected ADP Deputy governor aspirant comrade Idowu Afuye gatecrashed into the press conference with the cap of APC on his head even though members of the ADP disowned him and said he was never invited for the press conference.
