Faulty start for Governor Abiodun
It is not cheery at all to have reneged on a campaign promise to provide free education in the state, 100 days after assuming a four-year term as governor. Does that show that the governor did not do his homework well before promising free education during his electioneering campaign?
Why should the state government go back on its promise to offer free education, the basis on which the education-hungry citizens of Ogun State voted for the APC? Was sufficient home work not done before the promise was freely given during the rancorous electioneering in the state? Situations such as this, make one recall the Jakande phenomenon in 1979. A similar scenario played out in Lagos State when the grand old man was about to assume office as the first civilian governor of the state.
Jakande thanked Ukiwe for his advice but rejected it and insisted on going ahead with the implementation, saying that no man of honour would go back on his words, especially when the people with who he had entered into a social contract, had fulfilled their own part of the bargain.
