You’re out of tune with modern-day governance, APC tells PDP

The All Progressive Congress (APC), Oyo State chapter, on Friday  accused the

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of being out of tune with the requirements of a modern-day governance.The party in a statement by its interim spokesman, Mr. Dauda Kolawole, in a reply to an accusation by the state PDP which said that the party-led government had failed due to the recent dissolution of Governor Abiola Ajimobi-led cabinet that modern-day governance holds constant assessment of key performance indices (KPIs)in the task of good governance.

“First, we want to thank the PDP for acknowledging that our government constituted a ‘performing team’ of cabinet members in the last two and half years or thereabout.

 

"This, no doubt, was responsible for the highly applauded strides that the

government has been able to record in the last few years," it said.

 However, to now call the same government which God gave the wisdom to pick ‘a performing team’ a failure just because it sought to have a higher performance in its cabinet, APC said it was smacks of extreme ignorance and lack of depth.

 

The party which reiterated the reason given by its party-led government for

dissolving the former cabinet, said that for a government which had been applauded for its cerebral component, it would not stop until it got the best. While noting that Oyo State suffered seriously in the hands of the PDP in its eight-year misrule, APC said it was because square pegs were put in round  holes and the height of this malady was when a transport union kingpin went to the hallowed chambers of the House of Assembly, held the gavel of the honourable House and proclaimed the Speaker ‘impissed’. " But the current APC-led government has been able to raise the ante and instead of illiterates, we now have a professor as chairman of one of our local governments,” the APC said.

 

While stating that the watchword of the party-led government was excellence, the APC said it believed that in spite of the commendations given to its dissolved executive council members, which it said were way out of the class of the past PDP government’s cabinet, the government still believed that it could get better members from indigenes of the state in a new cabinet.
