The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has attacked the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for its incessant criticism of the administration of Governor Gboyega Oyetola.
The APC, in a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Kunle Oyatomi, said it is unimaginable that the opposition “which failed serially in governance in Osun State would deign to take up the ruling on the issue of performance and fulfillment of electoral promises.
“How can such a party claim to criticize a performing government like that of Gboyega Oyetola of Osun? How can such a failed organization teach a winning administration? Isn’t it the same as a ‘legless man teaching running’? You run with your legs; but here is a comical tutor dishing out tutorials without the basic tools.”
He said Mr Oyetola’s administration in two years of governance has perfected what PDP couldn’t do in years. Moreso, he is doing ‘a silent revolution’.
“Its weapon is the typical approach of achievers: ‘talk and do’ or ‘walk the talk’. Oyetola and his team of high-flyers are known to deliver on the promises they made during the campaign season. Roads were promised. They are being provided.
“Reforms were promised in the education and other sectors. We are witnessing them. Oyetola gave a hint that he would strengthen APC to make it the party to beat at the next poll in 2022. Now the governing party is truly wearing a new look.
“The APC-led administration resolved to refresh the agrarian economy of Osun so it can be the fulcrum of the much-needed chief revenue earner for the state. Over 6000 farmers were recently empowered. We have seen the seedling of this project in the visits of top government officials to the nook and cranny of the state.
“Oyetola combines attention on infrastructure with keeping tabs on moves to tame the spread of Covid-19, providing facilities and expressing keen interest in making it possible for the dreaded disease to take a flight from the state. So, while many are hailing the governing APC for making Osun to sustain the progressive tradition with these achievements, PDP has only criticism. They have now been exposed as ‘’legless critics” who want to teach the people how to run”
