Governor Bello’s late appellation launch-padded for any reason by Senator Dino Melaye as ‘Akotileta Governor’ may not be any interloper on acquaintance to the conduit of squandermania in Bello’s meddling mediocrity. I mean Senator Dino did not intrude into this, simply put, Bello is a potential ‘Omo rungun-rungun’. You would recalled last week, Senator Dino Melaye called the governor ‘Akotileta Governor’ while reacting to the governor’s bid of requesting for N30billion loan from the central Bank of Nigeria.
Yes! Very few may recalled the mishap that almost claimed the left leg of the governor some years back while trying to throw monies to the people from his moving car. Such and many of such are symbolic of a typical brand of waste acquiescenced to by my governor. But that kind of waste is still not magnificently emphatic and creative with the humongous fecund in the ‘Akotileta’ literality that I will want us to pay pertinent attention to.
I think Senator Dino Melaye was not magnanimous to deep the literal of ‘Akotileta’ in just squandermania alone. I mean ‘Akotileta’ goes beyond squandermania. I do hope Gideon Ayodele, his media aide would do me a favour to convey my sincere displeasure in that choice of word without considering the meaning with which will placed other section of the state in proper perspective in its deeper and divers.
Since ‘Akotileta’ falls in pleasant place in Okun’s phonology, I supposed my Senator employed the service of an interpreters both of Ibira and Igala accent with an active influence to polysemy culture. Because, I should expect he bears in mind that Kogi is in a forced marriage; and languages are the major prefixures of inconveniences associated with that unholy matrimony. In that case, so, ‘Akotileta’ may not be misrepresented or even misinterpreted in their parlance. But for the failure of my Senator to critically register beyond squandermania as the enormous picture depicting the closely synonymy of ‘Akotileta’ and for the benefit of those who may not know its deeper and divers connotation, please do take this advantage.
Am lucky I don’t even have to employ the service of any Ibira lingua redirector if I fail to do justice to that; Thanks to Kingsley Fanwo, Bello’s Media Director, he is on a standby. He is an Okun extraction, am sure he is in a better position; he might even have more divers meaning than I do to portray to his Oga the best translation of ‘Akotileta’, since they are into that collosal profligacy together. Well, I wouldn’t blame Evangelist simply because what he’s doing may to him be considered as part of evangelistic calling. May be that is the only way he knows best to evangelize; evangelizing and defending lies. Anyway, that’s by the way.
To start with. Akotileta, beyond squandermania is a killer of destiny. You asked how? It is only Akotileta that will be preoccupied with nothing and allow the workers under his watch kept romancing with a hanged-man-nose due to hunger and starvation as a resultant crisis of non-payment of salaries. As I write, many official on the payroll of Kogi state work-force have been on the suicide mission list. No one knows when it become his own turn to commit suicide before the governor’s tenure ends November. But I cancel that in Jesus’ name.
I don’t feel happy talking about very many people who have died of sickness and disease that could ordinarily be managed. Either do I want be remember the agony of some parent who cannot avail pay their children school levies. Or do we start counting young school leavers who gained admission but could not continue all for non-payment of salaries to their families and guardians. I detest to feel indifferent to the plight of some of this young foes; many of which have resulted to peti stealing, very many of the female foes have taken delight in prostitution as the option for survival. So, tell me if ‘Akotileta Governor’ have not kill destines in this regard. It does not end here o.
Akotileta is a destroyer. He ordinarily have uncontrollable vehemence that surpass his sense of judgment and reasoning. ‘Akoteleta Governor did not only destroyed humans, he also destroyed monuments. It is only Akotileta Governor that can launch vehemence attack on the ‘roundabouts’ that serve as a monumental attraction and passer-accessor; built by his predecessor with a huge amount to be mulled down and replaced with a kangaroo one; only to list such as part of his achievement.
‘Akotileta is a man with fingers of economic recidivism. The ‘Akotileta Governor, in his sheer dismal failure, in his appearance of administrative pervasiveness, in his outrageous flaunting and unproductiveness plagued the state into an empty container socio-economically. Since ‘Akotileta Governor’ wouldn’t pay salaries, as Akotileta Governor refuses to exploit economic treasures scattered around. When the only concern of the ‘Akotileta Governor’ is to ‘nanokuna’ on ‘sekarimi ventures’ over collective patrimony of the people. ‘Akotileta Governor’ do not pay attention to the fast-growing challenges of poverty, by creating such option includes access to cheap credit loans for traders and artisans. ‘Akotileta Governor’ does not care about creating enabling environment for productivity investment in hard and soft infrastructure to grow Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMSE). Instead of engaging safety net in form of massive government social-scheme to ameliorate the plight of the unemployed youths; what ‘Akotileta Governor’ does is to recruit them as thugs and make them a free-hand for his political fight; tell me why would economic system of the state wouldn’t be in coma gasping for breath? Do I now need to remind you that ‘Akotileta is intellectually bankrupt and have no innovation to turn thing around?
The ‘Akotileta list of inanities are endless. But permit me to end this phase with one most crucial, before I proceed to other protocol.
‘Akotileta’ will always asked for more. It reminds me of a prodigal son in the bible. With all tenacity, prodigal son desperately took his share of his father’s (oogun’) only to squander it and return to plea and expected to be part of the remain fare share. ‘Akotileta Governor’ is reckless, profligate and empty. ‘Akotileta, to say the least is a ‘waster’. He is a ‘dreaded desperado’; who would do anything to get himself into the track of power.
The truth is that ‘Akotileta Governor’ raises unnecessary dust and throw unproductive accusation as the reason for his failure. ‘Akotileta Governor’ threw accusation on the N840billion debt, N700billion debt of which according to him was allegedly owe by former governor, Captain Idris Wada and N140billion owes by his own-self carriage government as the pointer for non-payment of salaries to workers in the state.
I felt dismay when in a media parley with the journalist in Lokoja, Mr. Kolawole Mathew; the Speaker, Kogi State House of Assembly said this. I had wanted a disclaimer of that expensive joke for two reasons. One, that if not for bootlicking, there should be a jurisdiction for a ‘Speaker’ as the ‘Speaker of the House of Assembly’ not a Speaker for ‘Akotileta Governor’. Because I already felt that the Speaker has intruded into the job for which Evangelist Kingsley Fanwo is being paid. And second, I felt most disgusted at that excessive ‘Iranu’ Mr. Speaker displayed there.
Therefore I am forced to think that my Speaker is doing ‘Iranu’ in that dignify hallow chamber where business of legislation, checking executive exuberance and lifting lives by mean of pro-human polices is instead short-changed for that foremost peculiar bundle of disappointment. And that quickly also remind me of a tale told by late Professor Pius Adesanmi of Pa Alainikanse ton f’ari fun aja. According to him, Pa Alainikanse was so idle that he spent much of his life shaving the head of his dog.
Now that my Speaker have been found in the shoes of Pa Alainikanse. I rather don’t want to think Mr. Speaker is benefiting from the squandering that he has to tenaciously defend the course or do I take it that ‘pe konikanse’(he’s too idle) that his ‘Iranu’ got the top-notch that he of all people be the one to tell kogites that cock and bull stories.
I am still trying to figure the heck out about the preoccupation of Pa Alainikanse with shaving his dog’s head in the folktale with the justification of Mr. Speaker defending the billions of Bailout, Paris fund, and billions of other Intervention Funds including billions of naira from the Federal Allocation and Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) that were meant to pay salaries and even execute valuable projects.
Where was he Mr. Speaker when the ‘Akotileta Governor’ wasted billions of Nigeria naira in Anambra guber election, Osun guber election, and Ekiti being the highest recipient of that squandering. Am not too sure if Ondo did not share from that magnanimous handout.
I would not want to be reminded that same Speaker and the entire pro-Akotileta Governor received some reasonable amounts of billions about some months after their inauguration as the house member to fight incumbent Speaker in order for this ‘Oniranu Speaker’ to gain access to be a Speaker.
Sincerely speaking, I need help to stop thinking of the heck associated with the height of Speaker’s ‘Iranu’ by not telling us how much was given to him and other pro-Akotileta Governor’s for their re-election bid. We knew how much expended to stage an attack on Chief Justice of Kogi State- Ajanah. The sin they alleged Ajanah for, was on gross misconduct but we all aware that out of the abundant of ‘Iranu’ speaketh that thrash. We knew simply – that Ajanah’s sin is connected to the blatant rejection to belong to the clique of those executive stooge, ‘Iranu-‘Ofu’ and Akotiletas. We knew all these; they can’t hide the fact from some of us.
The ineffectual buffoons have refused to tell this straightforward narrative about how they collaborated in selling this deadly travesty called ‘Oshi’ to kogites; only to be too busy reprimanding kogites for complaining about the ugly situation and the plaque of the widespread ‘Oshi’ they have initiated beneath the status and dignity of the hapless growing population. Now I know why kogi is obsessively riddled with excessive ‘Oshi’ (chronic poverty). Why this pathological collaboration is a purveyor of evil, a curse to entire Kogi state; more reason we wrestle the monsters of that travesty.
Everything considered, including the absence of subjective conditions complementing the objective to totally wipe the evil system out. Now that Akotileta Governor has made his intention public, for that matter, he claimed he got the backing of APC national leaders through his extensive consultation and that kogites are the one calling him to service for the second term; to complete the good work he has been doing. But like I told you earlier, ‘Akotileta Governor’ may not have seen anything wrong with kogi with this height of ‘Oshi’ meddling and thrashing the people aground. He is found of hyping himself. Never mind, my little fear is not out of place; that they maythrash around in their usual grandstanding like somebody high on paraga and get ‘Akotileta Governor into power again. They ‘kuku’ know how to do it better. Of course we saw how House of Assembly race went. But if this happen, kogi don finish; bet me. But God forbid bad thing. Tufiakwa!
Considering my legacy of steadfast faith, and upon my positive thinking; it’s over my dead body should we allow ‘Akotileta Governor’ and ‘Oniranu Speaker’ to sell such travesty as ‘Oshi’, ‘Iranu’ and ‘Ofu’ to us for another four years again. Otoge!
