@toluwasevic I know na. It is very funny, with the number of private radios we have in the State; none could hold the State Government to account. All of them are in bed with the State government. It's very sad.

[Olúwaṣeun @Seun731]

Not their fan, but they're saying a fact here.

[Olúwaṣeun @Seun731]

@idrisanimasaun1 @seyimakinde Attrition plenty sha.

[Olúwaṣeun @Seun731]

You'd expect the Emperor to give a cogent reason not to renovate Agbowo because you spend 63bn to renovate GH.

[Olúwaṣeun @Seun731]

@toluwasevic @AdedejiOdidiOmo Smile. I heard Remi dusted him yesterday at a programme, telling people he was the one (Remi) who facilitated the transformer to your honourable father's house.

Asake isn’t just singing in Yoruba;
He’s also making Yoruba musical instruments global.

Big kudos to him!
Omo Yoruba atata. 👏🏾💚

[Olúwaṣeun @Seun731]

@toluwasevic He's even too pedestrian when it comes to asking questions. He'll parrot all that the Emperor says tomorrow in another programme.

[Olúwaṣeun @Seun731]

Man is pained; PBAT doesn't give him a ministerial slot.

[Olúwaṣeun @Seun731]

The attrition in that recruitment is a story to be told one day. At the basic education level alone, the number is alarming.

[Olúwaṣeun @Seun731]

@toluwasevic You're right. But does Mayor or Westin be hin name will remind him of that? Nay!

Has he cave in? I read he's pleading for a 60-day ceasefire to conduct elections

[Olúwaṣeun @Seun731]

😂. Has the State survived without the centre? Does Makinde even think through what he's saying.

[Olúwaṣeun @Seun731]

They overflogged that Moniya - Iseyin road sha.

Sigh!

You checked the Ajimobi administration, and you concluded that Bimbo is the brightest. Ajimobi, whom you guys castigate day and night.

😂

“Tinubu himself asked me to provide someone that can handle the Budgetary and Economy ministry. I nominated Bimbo Adekanmbi to him and told Tinubu that he worked under one of his boys. I told him after we checked Ajimobi’s administration, we found out that Bimbo was one of the brightest minds of the admin and if you truly want the progress of the country, he is a bright mind you should work with.”

I have been accompanying my boss to Ethiopia over the past three years as part of our leadership exchange programme, and I beg to differ SLIGHTLY. I agree that we need to grow the economic pie. My hesitation is with separating that ambition from the quality of governance required to achieve it. The resources we seek will also depend on the institutions we build, the policies we sustain and the people we educate.

I love the exchange programme because we’ve so much to learn from each other. Under Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali, the transformation of the Ethiopian capital has been striking, with redeveloped roads, pedestrian walkways, cycle lanes and public spaces changing the experience of the city you would think you are in a historically developed European city. Parts of the Addis Ababa of a decade ago would not have looked out of place in Kaduna. Today, the scale of its redevelopment gives the impression of a city aspiring to become the next Dubai. That is a comparison of ambition, rather than a claim that urban renewal captures the condition of an entire country. Acknowledging what the Ethiopians have done well takes nothing away from Nigeria.

What interests me even more is what they have done in agriculture. Ethiopia has expanded irrigated wheat cultivation by combining improved seeds, mechanisation, farmer training and organised production. Its approach connects research institutions to regional agricultural authorities, district officers, cooperatives and farmers, with links to processors and consumers. Irrigation extends production beyond dependence on the rainy season, while technical support helps farmers put research into practice. My takeaway is that their achievements owe much to the organisation of the people and institutions responsible for delivering them.

There is also a lesson in the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. Construction began in 2011, and the project reached its inauguration in September 2025, under Abiy. Fourteen years of work produced a national asset whose construction outlasted the tenure of the leadership that initiated it. That is the kind of continuity a country needs when its ambitions require more time than any individual administration has in office.

Our own policy history offers plenty to reflect on. We had Abacha’s Vision 2010 in the 1990s, followed by Obasanjo’s National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy, NEEDS. Then came the Seven-Point Agenda and the development of Vision 20:2020 under Yar’Adua, followed by Jonathan’s Transformation Agenda for 2011–2015. Buhari’s administration introduced the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan for 2017–2020, the National Development Plan for 2021–2025 and Nigeria Agenda 2050. Today, we have President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and the successor development plan for 2026–2030.

The tragedy of our governance experience is that successive administrations have often approached the programmes of their predecessors as experiments to be discontinued, rebranded or replaced, regardless of their merits. Each government arrives with a new development blueprint, a fresh set of priorities and an ambition to distinguish itself from the one before it, sometimes dismantling institutional foundations that took years to establish. This chronic disruption of policy continuity has been a major setback to Nigeria’s development. It is a challenge that appears less pronounced in Ethiopia’s federal parliamentary system, where the governing party’s sustained control of the executive has historically allowed development priorities to survive changes in political leadership. Of course, Ethiopia has experienced its own policy reversals and political upheavals, but its capacity to sustain major national projects across administrations offers a lesson worth examining. Nigeria cannot afford a governance culture in which every new administration feels compelled to start the country’s development journey afresh. 1/2

Yesterday, Remi Oseni visited my ward and said quite a number of things, but two statements caught my attention.

First, he claimed he was the one who provided the transformer in the area where Odidiomo’s father lives. He also said Senator Sharafadeen Alli was responsible for installing the solar streetlights there. Ordinarily, I would have questioned these claims, but that happens to be the exact location of my office! 😂

Now, my question is simple: After seven years in the Green Chamber, what tangible projects can Odidiomo point to?

Remi Oseni went further to brag that, despite representing Ido/Ibarapa East, he has facilitated and completed more projects in Ibadan South-West and Ibadan North-West Federal Constituency in less than three years than Odidiomo, who is the actual representative of the constituency. 🤔

Then came the funniest part: Remi said we should stop comparing him with Odidiomo because he doesn't want odidiomo to keep using him to trend. 🤣🤣🤣

Omo! This one is getting interesting. Imagine a man representing another constituency claiming to have done more for your constituency than the person you actually elected to represent you! 😂😂😂
