I have seen honourables with remarkable achievements, I have seen honourables with feeble achievements. I have seen bills that did not see the light of the day. I have seen many uncompleted projects, I have seen phantom projects that are not visible to the ordinary eyes.
What I have not seen is an honourable that can't even make a speech. What I have not seen is an honorable that shot himself right in the foots. Sadly, the honourable is my state honourable in Ona-ara LG. I know people love to see Ona-ara as scarcely underdeveloped despite the vantage position and array of lands for modern industrialization and commercial farming. Our weakness can also serve as our strength - we have a land mass capable of starting up agriculture for interstate trade, instead we choose to deject our resources and the abundant potential in our land and labour resources.
Ona-ara LG is bereft of good leaders from time immemorial, we can go on and on to list names but it will drive us nowhere to cast aspersion. What spurred me to write this long epistle is our present state honourable, Buniyamin Azeez, who couldn't even come up with laudable achievements over the last three years instead they were laughable. We have the rain to thank for saving us the embarrassment of listening to a poorly cooked dissertation adorned with mediocrity. He wrote that speech like a sophomore, I could not blame him less as Ona-ara is designed for the lower dichotomy of the Ibadan people: the lower class. We couldn't even challenge him to do a proper speech, he was also less bothered about how that lowly rated address will slice up his further political ambition into tatters, we raised no obvious fear for him, no challenges, he was infact, in his poverty stricken state on mind, prepared to read it aloud to do lower class of the society who wouldn't adjudge him excellent, fair or poor.
More laughable enough, he has achieved absolutely nothing in his over three years in office, his pedestrian singular bill, three motions, explanation and boreholes in 11 wards - so ineffectual and paltry result is the dumbest report you will hear in your entire lifetime. He further hoped for a second term, how do you fail the people this obviously and still gather the courage to make a second term request. We are no zombies. The passionate people of Ona-ara LG are not blind chauvinist.
But he goofed completely, much like his past colleagues who have hold higher political offices in the past. They all came up with the believe that they can merely toy with the heart of the people, simply do nothing and later come back to solicit for their vote and support by dolling out peanuts. Having come this far in our democracy, we would not give into you false prophets anymore, Fela Anikulapo branded you all 'animal in human skin'.
If we can't conquer Nigeria as a whole, we will stand tall in Oyo state and in a smaller unit: Ona-ara and Inukan LCDA
