In his words: “The brewing smear campaign against the incumbent Governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun, by drowning politicians in the State is not in any way strange to every discerning individual in the state and beyond. In fact, it is even expected, going by the enviable performance of the Governor”. Information Guide Nigeria
“This war of attrition that started since the very moment Dapo Abiodun indicated interest to change the trend of despotic governance in Ogun State by vying for governorship on the platform of APC continued rather tirelessly, as the king of the manor remains blindfolded by the inordinate ambition of total dominance”. jamb results
“The onslaught against Governor Abiodun was later intensified when his dynamic leadership became manifested in the steady and progressive manner he is transforming the state from all fronts, especially in the area of infrastructure and human capital development, despite the enormity of deficit left behind by his predecessor.”
Tella observed that the smear campaigners were determined to bring down the governor because he brought about “revolutionary change of order to the admiration of many in the state, especially the downtrodden, who had been callously oppressed by the suffocating civilian junta.”
He, therefore, emphasized that “This paradigm shift in the pattern of development and growth in all strata of the state and the people-oriented leadership entrenched by Dapo Abiodun in Ogun State will not stop, no matter the degree of propaganda embarked upon by his political enemies.
“It is quite interesting now that the majority of Ogun citizens are aware of the antics of the former Governor to impose a rubber stamp on the state and rule by proxy, which informed his cat race to control the party and the political structure.
“While it is certain that many Nigerians are also aware of the intricacies of the cold war in the political space of Ogun State and the determination of the people in the State to follow the path of honor and developmental leadership against autocracy and deception, it is, therefore, instructive to listen to the evergreen warning of Amil Cabral: “Hide nothing from the masses of our people. Tell no lies. Expose lies whenever they are told.
“Mask no difficulties, mistakes, failures. Claim no easy victories.”
