I am not a fan of Yahaya Bello and will never be until the court decide his faith but some of his appointments left me pondering if all political leaders are like this. (Underrating the local breeds)
It is a known fact that, one will perform better if giving responsibilities in his area of specialization. But the government of kogi state is always fond of using the local breeds at the build up stage of every election in the state but when the job is done and elections are won, they import other persons and call them “experts” to come and take up the job of managing their media activities.
The imported Gbenga Babayinka Olorunpomi. The SSA on New Media and other appointees of the Bello led administration is a square peg on a round hole. They do not understand the political environment of kogi state hence, they will perform poorly. My concern is that of the Media Team where Bello has competent hands who has put everything they’ve got to make the bello’s project a reality but was denied this position to import Gbenga who is an alien in the kogi project from Lagos to come and manage his new Media. Why did you do that? Because he is better? Am sure he is not because he is already performing poorly.
Williams Charles Oluwatoyin, who has sacrificed everything for free, including all the art works used during the face off to endear Bello to the people’s heart was also overlooked. His creativity alone was enough to empower him. He is qualify in all rounds and I believe he is even more professional than Gbenga when it comes to writing and creativity and I think this is what this illegal government needs now. (Creativity) He writes, he is creative and doggedly active when it comes to defending this caretaker government. Please Bello empower this Okun man who has sacrificed his tribe for your 8 month reign. He is good
Odaudu Joel Minister, who is very fit for all the Media job you can think of was also left out. He was on his own in Audu’s camp when you extended your hand of friendship(as you call it) to him only to embarrass him at the end of the day. We were surprised when the list was out and his name was not there. What are the qualities of Gbenga that made him a better choice that Odaudu Joel Minister do not have? He is a vibrant young man who just needs a push to blow.
Nda Aaron, ha… That one practically packed to the government house hoping he will be acting in Bello’s stead when he is away. But to my greatest dismay, his name was not there. yet, he diligently continue updating the public, the activities of this caretaker government.
Abeg Bello do something before heart-fever kill this people. Even though dem dey claim sey no be for appointments dem dey support this government I know sey na lie. Dem dey Die inside.
I think this are the few i can name and so many others who we hope to see but was surprised not to see. Though everybody can not be appointed but this people are way better than the once you imported to pay more. The onus is now on you to PUSH this young sharps forward by empowering them in other to bring out the best in them and make them “expert” in future since they have accepted to identify with your illegal government. I can dispassionately say that if this people are giving the right support, kogi would have succeeded in producing Media geniuses in future.Mr Edward Onoja, advise this small man Governor to do the right thing. No dey think of only yourself.
Don’t give us so many reasons to criticize this few months government. We have a lot on our hands already and adding to it with your lopsided appointments will be a plus for us. We will be glade criticizing you.
