Edo State governor, Comrade Adams
Oshiomhole has berated the Minister of
Information – Mr Labaran Maku for
claiming that most of the motorable
roads in the state were constructed by
the Federal Government.
Maku had recently stated that the federal
roads in Edo were so smooth that one
could spread a mat and lay on it but
apparently piqued by the minister’s
statement, Oshiomhole, who spoke
through his Special Adviser on Media and
Publicity Prince Kassim Afegbua, said the
allegation was nothing but a “height of
crass irresponsibility and rudderless
leadership”.
He said it was not appropriate “for any
serious-minded public officer to mount
the podium of public discourse to
advertise falsehood and distort facts so
unashamedly to please the hollow rituals
of his master’s ears.
“Rather than own up to failure and
inability to meet certain targets, they go
about whispering ‘sweet-nothings’ as the
lullabic tinge to send their master to
sleep when the nation is suffering from
unimaginable infrastructural decay”, he
said.
The governor also noted “The fact that
Edo and Lagos states did not grant space
to Labaran Maku and his co-travellers on
that ill-advised good governance tour, is
not enough grounds for him to be telling
Nigerians bogus lies in such an inelegant
manner, undeserving of a public officer
feasting on tax payers money.
“We will implore Labaran Maku to go into
the corner of his bedroom and ask God
for forgiveness over his rabblerousing
presentation in the name of being a
government megaphone, presenting
apocryphal report card and deceiving a
nation that is already livid with anger
over PDP’s non-performance”, he said.
