The governor-elect of Oyo State has outgoing governor Abiola Ajimobi of encouraging primary school teachers to embark on an indefinite strike from this week.
Makinde also revealed that the outgoing administration is leaving behind an unprecedented record of governance by mischief in its last days in office.
According to him, “for a government that gave paucity of funds as reason it could not pay backlogs to go ahead and restore 100 per cent subvention to all tertiary Institutions one week to leaving office is fulfilling Governor Ajimobi’s agenda to ‘spend everything’, and create a mountain of debt’ before leaving office.”
“The same government collected common entrance fees from pupils since March and has refused to fix examination date and they are leaving office next Wednesday.”
This is just as Makinde said that all infrastructures in the state henceforth will be directly linked to the economy that has impact on the lives of the masses.
In a statement by his spokesman Prince Dotun Oyelade, the governor-elect said that one of his cardinal programmes will be Poverty reduction through agricultural value chain.
Oyelade quoted Makinde as saying the above while delivering the keynote address at a workshop on human resource management of rural farmers in Nigeria, organized by the Liverpool Business School and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture IITA, Ibadan
Makinde said that it is paying lip service to agricultural development if roads in the cities glitter while the roads leading to the food baskets zones are neglected.
The statement added “the spate of appointments and promotions being carried out surreptitiously are also part of their agenda.”
The statement said that so many things are going on within government circle that do not edify the status of the pacesetter state all in their bid to have the last laugh but you cannot be anti-people and have the last laugh, the statement concluded.
