The visit of former Senator Smart Adeyemi to Governor Yahaya Bello yesterday, was seen clearly to be a political dangerous for the people of Kogi east and kogi by extension. We’ve had months battling with the state govt over the non payment of salaries, closure of tertiary institutions, screening palaver and Doctors strikes. All this happened despite the arrival of bailout and Paris club refund. Civil servants, Opinion moulders, technocrats, labour leaders, women groups, political leaders within and out Apc condemned the manner at which things are being handled in kogi state, and called for change. Distinguished Sen Dino Melaye, Apc kogi West, is a leading and unrelenting voice for the call for good governance and best treatment for our civil servants. Sen Dino, criticized GYB for not paying salaries up to the tune of 12 to 17 months despite receiving bailout and Paris refund cash. Although, this didn’t go down well with the state govt. Sen Dino Melaye, went further as a legislator and Senator from kogi state, drew the attention of the Senate to the unpleasant and disgracing news in the media, of how states particularly, kogi state came first in list of highest state of debtors and subsequently, suggest via a motion, ways to make our Governors comply with the use of funds given to them by the federal govt. About a week ago, distinguished Sen Dino Melaye, took the state govt, house assembly, ministry of local govt and chieftaincy affairs, and other to federal high court Lokoja, over continued illegal appointment ify administrators for our local govt govt councils and the satanic deduction and with holding of council funds by the GYB led govt. This are some of the many patriotic steps taken by Sen Dino, which favours and actually on the side of the masses. If we can not see the possibility of greatness, how can we dream it?
For every reasonable Kogi leaders who are familiar with what’s going on in kogi state have condemned GYB in the handling of state affairs. This is to make the Governor improve and develop.
“No man is good enough to govern others, without their conscience”.
Sen. Smart Adeyemi went to govt house, praised the Governor endlessly as if nobody was owed salary in kogi state.
He poured encomium on GYB as if, our students in tertiary institutions are not closed.
He spoke confidently as if he knows the pains and agony civil servants are going through.
He yelled as if, the Doctors were not on strike.
This is certainly not a patriotic visit, and not in the interest of the good people of Okun and Kogi west. The visit was selfish and counter productive, best to describe.
This is his love for his people, when most of the civil servants are dying, institutions are closed, Doctors on strike, his cousins and families at Iyara, haven’t received 14 months salary, he came and praised a Governor who top the list of highest debtors in Nigeria committee of States and Governors.
What a shame.! Smart have gone to the Governor to constitute a political liability, because he has no any valid support based at home as far as I’m concerned.
No qualms with that! He failed before, to fail again should not scare him, after all, he’s a friend to failures.
Deceiving himself and the Governor, as if he’s a virile political base at home, not even in his local govt.
How can we describe Smart and his unproductive yesterday’s remarks, in the face of good governance deficit? This is not a condemnation at all, but for all of us to digest and come up with how best to describe all his action and statement in the glaring face of Kogi people.
A lot of his close political friends and associates he wanted mobilized to his yesterday’s govt house ‘Agbero solidarity visit’, bluffly declined not to be part of the shame.
All the selfish and disgusting remarks made yesterday at the govt house, expose him more of how much he’s in search, at all cost for politics of survival and relevance. It should be clear to all Okuns/ Kogi West, that Fmr Sen Smart Adeyemi went to govt house for his personal selfish interior motive and survival, not on our behalf or for any benefit of Kogi west now or futuristic.
A politically stranded Smart, have been rejected by the people of Kogi west and he will never represent them at any level again. He should continue to enjoy his stake in Ilorin, history will judge him
The people of kogi west are waiting for the Ilorin based deceitful man called Smart any time, any day to flog him more than they did in 2015.
A character like Sen Smart, who have a tall antecedent in betraying his close friends, brothers and sisters, allys, town, kinsmen and his party will surely in no distance time, deny and betray his creator.
We’ve had enough of him!
