APC, transport unions disagree over Fayose

The 19 All Progressives Congress lawmakers in Ekiti State, have said ‎Governor Ayodele Fayose, should be blamed for the incessant activities of criminals in the state.

The lawmakers said his behaviour encouraged crimes to thrive in the state, urging the governor to stop blaming others.
 
This is as transport unions in Ekiti State warned the APC lawmakers and their sponsors against destabilising the state, saying they were monitoring their movement between now and the end of their tenure.
 
They gave the warning in a joint statement issued in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday and signed by the Chairman, Road Transport Employers Association, Comrade Samuel Agbede; Chairman, National Unions of Road Transport Workers, Comrade Clement Adekola, and Chairman, Pick-Up and Lorry Drivers Association, Atowoju Oluwatosin.
 
The unions said they were aware of the meeting held by eight of the APC lawmakers with a former president, Wednesday night and the one they had scheduled for Oshogbo, Osun State on Thursday as well as the two dates they had picked to invade Ekiti.
 
“All efforts by the APC lawmakers and their sponsors to throw Ekiti State into chaos will be resisted. We are following every of their moves and whatever funny move they make between now and the end of their tenure will be resisted.
 
“We have voted and elected Peter Ayodele Fayose as our governor and we wish to assure whichever security agents they are enlisting to come and destabilise Ekiti State that we are ready for them.
“We, the commercial drivers see the APC lawmakers as recalcitrant. Rejecting peace efforts by Ekiti elders, traditional rulers and others is insulting.
 
“As of today, there is a court order that all parties in the impeachment saga should maintain status quo and the suit will come up again on May 21. If the National Assembly could obey court orders, how much more a State House of Assembly.”
 
Fayose in a statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, had accused the lawmakers of frustrating security measures put in place to stem criminal activities.
 
But the lawmakers in a statement ‎by Speaker Adewale Omirin’s Special Adviser on Media, Wole Olujobi, on Thursday maintained that the governor was the one encouraging crimes to thrive through unbecoming conduct in the running of government since assumption of office.

Why People Envy Those Who Bring Development

Image
(A long read, but worth your time, please read to the end.) I once listened to one of the preachings of Apostle Joshua Selman titled “ The Spirit of Envy ” which he gave in Kenya last year August. It was a message that didn’t just touch the surface of human behavior, it pierced deep into the truth about why people often resent those who carry the vision to build, change, and develop. Apostle Selman shared that one of the strangest battles of destiny is not against enemies from afar, but from those who should have been your biggest supporters. Those who should clap for you are often the ones who quietly hope you fail, not because you have done anything wrong, but because your progress exposes their comfort in mediocrity. Some time ago, I read a story about a young man from Kenya who decided to change the fate of his small rural community. The village had been forgotten for decades, no clean water, no access roads, no school beyond the primary level. He left home to study in Nairobi, and...

The Spirit of Error: When Gratitude Turns to Contempt

Image
In church today, I listened carefully to what my Pastor preached. It was one of those rare sessions that forces you to unlearn, relearn, and learn, a message that pierces the heart and exposes the quiet things we often ignore. He spoke about the Spirit of Error, and as I sat there, I couldn’t help but realize how dangerous, silent, and deceptive that spirit truly is. It’s when the spirit of error enters a man that he begins to see his benefactor as nothing. The same person who once prayed for his success now looks like a threat. The voice that once guided him now sounds like control. The path that once felt divine suddenly feels restrictive. That’s what the spirit of error does, it twists perception, making light look like darkness and wisdom feel like manipulation. The Bible captures this deception clearly in 1 John 4:6 , where the Apostle John wrote, “We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, ...

A Caring Heart, a Reckless Wallet

Image
There is something about the way I was raised that made caring come naturally to me. I grew up believing that life’s true measure isn’t in what you have, but in what you give. Over the years, that belief shaped how I relate with people, family, friends, even strangers. I have always been the one who wants to see others smile, even if it costs me my own comfort. It’s not an exaggeration to say I could give my last kobo to someone in need. I have done it before, too many times to count. Someone calls, someone cries, someone explains how bad things are, and even if I don’t have much, I’ll find a way to make something happen. Sometimes it’s not even because I have plenty, but because I can’t stand the thought of someone I care about suffering while I still have something left. But here’s the part I never used to talk about, the flip side of that generous heart. Because while I have built a reputation for being kind and dependable, I have also learned that caring without control...
