You do not get to read articulate analysis, if detailed one, on Ondo state affairs too often.
But, here Wole Ademefun in Mimikonomics - A Policy of Impulse And Waste? does one that might best be considered summations and posers for the Olusegun Mimiko government.
Hear him.
"Since February 24, 2009 when Mimiko came on board, every project undertaken by government has been on impulse or by donation. Right on the podium on inauguration day, he assured that he would meet the people in their homes and institute the production of data capturing all purpose I.D. cards within his first 100 days without counting the cost.
The I.D card project was to be quickly followed by well-publicised public housing projects to be located in the state capital...
and
"Also, 300 stalls are being erected at a cost of N150 million or N500,000 per stall.
It is even more ridiculous that the reason for locating the market at Eru Oba within the precincts of the Deji's palace, a location that will generate further traffic into both Arakale and Oba Adesida roads will negate the government's intention to ease traffic on both roads!
If there are any pointers to how ludicrously thought-less or insincere the entire apparatus of Alagbaka government is, it can be seen in the catalogue of flip-flop and impuse decisions, which the article points out even with vague attempts tuck them in comparison to the government-stealing era of Agagu.
What appears most tragic in the ongoing show of surface-dressing that Mimiko's government represents, is the indictment of the character and quality of the governor's people.
To say, Ondo state citizenry expected a lot more would be an understatement...
