The administration of Adewolu Ladoja, Alao Akala and Ajimobi highlighted water availability in some areas of Ibadan as sacrosanct and of immense necessity .  Under Engr Seyi Makinde is an ugly situation of deteriorating and total neglect to water works Eleyele , Asejire dam which provided a profound solution to the water menace around Ibadan and its environs. GSM has prioritized a populist agenda over social amenities that would have benefited the masses.  The Governor should be reminded that only the rich can afford the exuberant cost of Bolehole. Investigative journalism reveals that some of the quality water equipment purchased by the regime of Ladoja was sold off by the GSM led government.

REJOINDER: AN ENGINEER WITHOUT ENGINEERING, A GOVERNMENT WITHOUT LIGHT

Image
Our attention has been drawn to the press statement by Dr. Sulaimon Olanrewaju, media aide to Governor Seyi Makinde, titled "Distinguished Engineer vs Jejune Lawyer." We will not descend into name-calling. We will respond with facts that Oyo people see every day. 1. ON STREETLIGHTS: WHO IS FAILING OYO? The media aide said we should blame APC Federal Government for blackout because generators are used for streetlights. This is laughable. Sir, you are the Governor of a State. You budgeted billions for streetlights. If you knew the national grid has challenges, why didn't your "distinguished engineering" provide a sustainable solution from day one instead of burning expensive diesel every night? You boast of a 5MW solar plant being upgraded to 12MW. For how many years has this story been told? In 2026, Oyo people still see generators powering streetlights with noise and fumes. That is not leadership, that is wasteful management. A real Engineer would ha...
