Ondo State Government has scolded Hon Otito Atikase, Commissioner representing Ondo state on the board of Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), asking him to stop being childish over claim that Governor Aiyedatiwa is taking credit on Igbokoda Electrification Project.
Reacting on behalf of the state government, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor, Prince Ebenezer Adeniyan said it is ridiculous for government appointee to lampooned the same state government that nominated Atikase for the position of commissioner in NDDC..
“Contrary to your baseless claim, the State government has not taken credit for anything. The government delegation went on that inspection with BEDC officials and I’m surprised you didn’t discredit BEDC too”.
Yes, the Federal government holds jurisdiction over electricity but what has that gotten the people of the South in the last decade? Darkness.
How can you claim the state government has no say in a project being executed in its domain, albeit with no meaningful results in the last ten years?
What result has NDDC achieved in ten years of awarding contracts there?
What the issue demands is the political will to do the right thing and that is what Governor Aiyedatiwa is doing and he needs no approval of the Federal government to do that.
Contrary to your baseless claim, the State government has not taken credit for anything. The government delegation went on that inspection with BEDC officials and I’m surprised you didn’t discredit BEDC too.
Egbon, no be everything dem dey play politics with o. You need to cooperate with the state government on this whether you like the face of the Gov or not. Bitterness doesn’t bring any positive result.
The most important thing, which the Gov is after, is for light to be restored to the south in a matter of weeks.
Arguing over who should get credit is childish.
