Governor Dapo Abiodun Surprises Ogun Citizens, Caught Many Off Guard - Rasheed Aroboto





          A Yoruba adage says "Eni tán rò pé kò lè pàgó, ó se béè ó kó'lé alárin rin, Eni tán so wípé kòlè jé'nìyàn ó pa dà wá di eni àjítanáwò" (the one who was marked off building a hut, breaks jaw by building a mansion. He who was scorned became a celebrity later off). Many who thought of body shaming him, now find themselves praising him. Many who never believed in him are now among thousands who celebrates him. What a man!

          The event that shook every part of Ogun state and southwest at large was the most celebrated 'A Year Of Unparalleled Achievements' of Prince Dapo Abiodun led administration which coincided with his birthday. No gainsaying that social media spaces were filled to the brim with eulogies and wishes while selected mainstream media were employed to give undiluted accolades to an achiever. What a man!

          Many mouth went agape, many thought went agog, many attackers were rendered impotent and many critics went yonder at the sight of the unveiled achievements that were numerous to be numbered . With what many saw, their impression changed, their prognostication vanished, their hatred evaporated into thin air, because what was done in a year created in them an impulse for change.


          What looks to the oppositions as a mirage now appears as a myriad of feats. What looks like a dead end now appears as an abyssal of opportunities. And he who looks to their blurry vision as unfit has now overwhelmed their elephant's achievement just within a year. So to say, Dapo Abiodun is more than an achiever, he is a conqueror. He has submersed his teeming enemies with his unexpected feat, and they were abruptly caught up in trance. What a man!


          Abruptly, Dapo Abiodun has not only become a governor who has engaged all tentacles in the discharge of his duties but has succeeded in shaping the attitudes the youth towards professing good governance. It's stated with pertinence that the last election saw to the end of a dictatorial government and the wake of a democratic government.

          Obviously, Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown, indulgence in this administration will yield positive result soonest. The youths, citizens; both indigene and non indigene are beseeched to employ patience to their patriotism as the palatable dish of the "better deal" will sumptuously be served as all and sundry will be part of sharer of the democracy's dividends.
