Avoid second-term pitfalls, workers, others tell Abiodun, set target
After winning a tough electoral battle, the Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, is set for a second term.After re-election, many governors go ‘asleep’ and they do not achieve much in their second term. Against this background, residents and professional associations, who once experienced a lull in the activities of second-term governors in Ogun State, have therefore advised Governor Dapo Abiodun to avoid the pitfalls of his predecessors.
Abiodun, while basking in the euphoria of the victory, and in his acceptance speech, said that his re-election had proved that power belongs to God and that it was a vote of confidence in his administration. He thanked people in the state for re-electing him. The immediate past Students’ Union President of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta, Ajani Sodiq, called on the governor to pay close attention to the education sector in the state.He said, “We need Governor Dapo Abiodun to pay close attention to the educational sector. For instance, lecturers at institutions make students victims of their unpaid salaries. They put students in tight conditions to reduce the hardships of their unpaid remuneration.
Also, the state’s Trade Union Congress Chairman, Akeem Lasisi said Abiodun must give the labour issues a priority. “You could remember that we signed a Memorandum of Action in July last year. The government should look into this memorandum of Action and fulfil the promise it made such as the issue of payment of gratuities.
