BABAJIDE AKEREDOLU: PDP, Lazy Opposition For Criticising Appointment – Ondo Govt

The Ondo state government has described the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as a lazy opposition party following its criticism of the appointment of Governor Akeredolu’s son, Babajide as Director-General of Performance and Project Implementation Monitoring Unit (PPMIU).

Recall that the PDP in a statement titled “Akeredolu’s misrule in Ondo State: Government of Father, the Wife and the Son” released by its Publicity Secretary Kennedy Peretei slammed the development as a flagrant abuse of office and a grand design to empty the Ondo state treasury.

In reaction, the Ondo State Government in a statement titled ”PDP’s Uncanny Attacks Were Expected” released by the Commissioner of Information Donald Ojogo, called the PDP a lazy opposition, labelling its criticism of Babajide Akeredolu’s appointment as unresourceful.

The statement reads, ” One big error is public governance is the fear of taking decisions, and it becomes unpardonably grievous when sound decisions are avoided over what I consider unresourceful criticisms.

“There is no way such sound appointment as that of Babajide would not have elicited uncanny attacks from the PDP.

“They were expected. Ours is to be focused on what we are doing for the good people of the State and not to be distracted by lazy opposition. 

“When Jang appointed his son, Yakubu as a commissioner in Plateau, it was okay for them; what about Okowa who did it in Delta? When their Principal’s brothers in Ondo literally did all appointments while they held sway, it was okay. 

“We can only enjoy their gallery-looking dance. They are hypocritical aside from being saddened by their antecedents. 

“We are more concerned about the deliverables in whatever we do as a Government. In this particular instance of Mr Governor’s decision in respect of the son, it cannot be said otherwise; he made the right decision. 

“This young man has been doing a lot behind the scenes in the last five years plus, to enhance good governance. He has demonstrated enough capacity in many respects. Time will tell as we sail along in full steam”.

Ojogo continued, “I think the problem PDP has is the fact of apparent intimidation that a very sound and balanced second term cabinet has berthed”.
