OGUN BUDGET: PDP’S Officials Uninformed, Need Proper Education -APC Senatorial Youth Leader
The Ogun East Senatorial District Youth Leader of All Progressives Congress (APC), Tolulope Olubiyi Oduyemi, has described the State Youth Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Oyejide Sunkanmi, as “an uninformed, half-literate youth, grossly deserving pity”.
The PDP youth leader had earlier in a publication said the non-inauguration of Ogun State House of Assembly meant that ”tax payers money not secured under Dapo Abiodun”.
However, while responding through a statement issued on Monday, the APC’s Odubiyi said, “It is extremely shocking if this is the type of youth that the PDP parades as its state youth leader; lacking in information and education and demonstrating naivety on common, well-publicized issues affecting the state they were dreaming to govern.
“Sunkanmi is a good example of what a youth should not be. He is so ignorant of happenings in Ogun state just like his principal, the defeated PDP governorship candidate in the last elections, Ladi Adebutu, who is currently a fugitive running from the laws of Nigeria.”
The statement added, “Concerning the appointment of Special Advisers by the Governor, it was well-publicized that the 9th Assembly, before winding-down, members of the Ogun State House of Assembly, led by Speaker Olakunle Oluomo, approved Governor Dapo Abiodun’s request to appoint 20 Special Advisers for the running of government pending the appointment of Commissioners. The approval by the House followed a motion moved by the Majority Leader, Yusuf Sheriff, after the presentation of the Governor’s correspondence to the members, while Hon. Atinuke Bello seconded the motion, which was supported by all members.
“On the government expenditures and 2023 budget, if we may ask: where was this PDP Youth Leader last year when the Ogun State House of Assembly passed the 2023 budget? It was well reported in the mass media on December 30, 2022 that the Ogun State House of Assembly passed an Appropriation Bill of N472,250,694,447.57 presented by Governor Dapo Abiodun in November 2022 for the state’s 2023 budget.
“It is therefore apparent to the discerning that the Ogun State budget for 2023 is on course and there is no illegality anywhere.The PDP officials should get some education before rushing to the media so that the continuous display of arrogance in ignorance will stop.
