FESTUS OGUN AND THE FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN OF
PRINCE DAPO ABIODUN'S 2ND TERM

Dear Excellency Sir,
Governor Dapo Abiodun Sir,

Quite commendable is your swift reaction to the St. Kizito's case sir. It is not disputable that you are doing the BEST in your CAPACITY as GOVERNOR of Ogun State but it is the truth that you CANNOT do it ALL sir.

However sir, the good thing about FESTUS OGUN's post is that you need many other young minds with the rising drive and passion that is much more than that of "FESTUS OGUN" on your media and publicity team sir. It is sad that the media team of your Excellency and your administration are treating your good governance like charity, where you do much and talk less, in the bid not to treat your good governance like hypocrisy where you do less or nothing and talk much.

Your Excellency sir, your media and publicity team should treat their job with STRATEGY, not for the PAY, but for the PEOPLE. The PEOPLE need to know where they were at the beginning of your tenure and WHERE they are now, as you seek a second term. The PEOPLE of OGUN have the smokescreen of OPPOSITION to battle with, so they will need a PERSONAL TOUCH to help them see through OPPOSITION propagandas and believe that "manna" is falling from your "heaven" in our "wilderness". Hence, the PEOPLE in your media and publicity TEAM NOW must of necessity live, walk and talk among the PEOPLE on the STREET, or else it shall be told in GATH (Social and STREET Media) how that the mighty has fallen, when he is still standing. It is so obvious that 80% of the Governor's media and publicity team are not physically located in various parts of Ogun State but holed up in a government residential quarters at Oke-Mosan, doing remote publicity of your physical activities. Their remote work is only with a remote passion and producing remote productivity, hence, the lack of passion and strength of conviction on showcasing your good works sir. Again sir, I strongly suggest that you tell your media and publicity team to move from the OFFICE to the STREET, let them live among the people, talk with the people, walk and work with the people. It is your PERSONAL move to bring down the JERICHO walls of opposition fast encircling the people of Ogun State.

Your Excellency in addition should recruit VOLUNTEERS, young people, in local government areas and institutions, at the Grassroot level and GrassTweet level, who believe in the good governance of your adminstration always and are willing to make others see the obvious and tell where and what more can still be done that affects them more. But, don't exclude young lawyers sir, because FESTUS OGUN has shown what young lawyers can also do for or against you sir. Kindly let go of the PORTFOLIO administration bug that has clung to your appointees sir, it is backfiring, because from the side of the PEOPLE, nothing PRACTICAL is of the way and manner how majority of the Governor's appointees, are relating with the grassroots. It's fast proving that "the Lagos-based" are running Ogun State, yet without a credible people-base in Ogun State.

I dare say sir that Politics is unlike JESUS sir, who makes the blind see and the deaf to ear. Politics makes some eyes go blind and some ears go deaf, hence, the need to be on the GO and never stop SAYING the seeds you have sown. Though some may have fallen on rocky, thorny soil and some seeds sown may have been eaten by the birds called OPPOSITION yet the seed sown, fallen on fruitful soil are enough to produce a HARVEST of eMOTIONs, to be seconded by PVCs, for the passing of the bill of your SECOND TERM into LAW. I pray, may the NAYS not have it.

Sir, OSUN and OGUN are just a one letter different, but have no different WORKERS plight sir. Kindly, PAY and PAY ATTENTION to the Workers in OGUN State and do it STRATEGICALLY and SINCERELY sir. Nothing more is worse than tossing money into bank accounts of workers and pensioners when their emotions are unhealed and the grievances are unappealed sir. Their PVCs is not connected to their account but to their hearts. While money may suit their needs, it takes more than money to sweeten their sorrowed emotions. Workers work with their LIFE, and less MONEY, your Excellency equally works with your LIFE but with much more money. It's obvious that money has created the inequality but it cannot remedy it, MERCY not Money is the anti-dote sir.

Dear sir, it's time YOU also and everyone in the service of your ADMINISTRATION begin to spend much time on the Street and among the people. They have been so long deafened by the sirens of your appointees dashing in and out of town to spend the weekdays in Oke-Mosan and the weekends in Lagos and Abuja. The People of Ogun State are now consoling themselves with the MUSIC of the opposition. A HEARTpreciation in presence and physical engagement through heart2heart TOWN HALL meetings will do from now till election sir. Don't LIVE far from the people when their PVC is living with them sir. Have as much presence with them as their PVCs sir.

Your Excellency sir, OSUN state recent election has set FIRE on the Mountain of your ADMINISTRATION. Like my Pastor will always quote another Pastor, we cannot stop the birds from flying over our heads, but we can stop them from building a nest on our heads. This fire, started by Festus Ogun could not have been stopped, going by the liberty of social media and freedom of expression, but the fire can be quenched or used to turn inedible perspectives of your ADMINISTRATION into edible and appealable conviction about your administration sir. Hence, you personally sir, need to go beyond PARTY structure to WOO the PEOPLE, and TREAT whatever wounds the opposition is dealing to the REPUTATION in their HEART. I believe you are a Good Governor with a Good Heart sir, but the PEOPLE POLITICS does not CARE anymore about that sir.

Don't let this KINDLED FIRE become a FOREST FIRE sir, the RAINS of MONEY are not a match, your best FIRE-FIGHTING Team are the people of Ogun State, the ever young and vibrant youth of Ogun State.

#igbega Ipinle Ogun lo jewalogun!

Yours sincerely sir,

Osun state in the bag, Ogun state is next..
