Ever since the attentive world rose to its feet to applaud Governor Ibikunle Amosun’s virtuoso performance in his four years in office, the dogs of war seem to have been let loose and they are baying for his innocent blood. Amosun and his beautiful wife have become the punching bag of some people on social media whose mercantile instincts mark out as cannon fodder in the hands of aggrieved and out-of-favour politicians.
Their solitary mission is to derail Amosun from the path of progress by keeping him busy fighting real and imagined enemies. And just in case you still don’t get it, their vision is to ensure that Ogun State remains at the rungs of underdevelopment; perpetually aspirating for greatness and never attaining it.
Close observers of Amosun’s over four year’s administration can however attest to the fact that for the first time in a long while, Ogun State is witnessing a structured approach to governance. Amosun’s philosophy of governance is inclusive and open.
And because Amosun’s political star dared the rise so soon, they are desperate to dim it or at least cast a thick cloud across the face of the sky to shield its dazzle. And that is the tragic streak that has held Ogun State down for years. But will Ogun indigenes allow that?
Time, as they say, will tell…
