"Fruit of passive-aggressive people. These people resist demands by indirect tactics. They will not take responsibility for their own choices; instead, they turn around and blame someone else for making them do it. Or they will agree to do things that they don’t want to do, and then gripe about the person behind her back." ~Henry Cloud
Similarly, the above statement says a lot about the present administration, who, at any given chance throws the blame game and refused to take responsibility for its actions. No responsible government wastes a whole three (3) solid years out of its four (4) administrative years blaming the previous administration for the infrastructural deficit of any given entity. Indeed, people with a style of denial and blaming are definitely on the list of unsafe people to avoid. Kwarans are watching!
I have read articles by Mr Rafiu Ajakaiye and his errand boys and I have suddenly seen passive desperate ink master resurrect back to life. It's like a case of an idle employee under the pressure of his boss to look for a task to execute, even when the boss has refused to engage in any task that will avail him the opportunity to get a task to execute, other than the blame-game against past administration. You can imagine how desperate they would be in search of what to do. Writing on repainted projects will portray them badly, hence, the desperation to search for what to prey on enters a new level. And here is a messiah who would go through any length to let the truth out, hence, the desperate ink master and his cronies sprung to life.

"In 2019, Kwara had the 10th highest debt profile in Nigeria; conversely, by March 2022 account to the Debt Management Office, it is the 19th most indebted state. That’s a serious improvement on its 2019 ranking." That's according to Ajakaye.
While a state like Jigawa, in spite of the fact that it's among the States with the least GDP has been able to manage its debt within the same years dedicated to blame games by this administration, hence, it's considered to be among the state with the lowest debt profile. A responsible leader will compare his work with the people at the top, not the ones below, as portrayed by Ajakaye and his paymaster
THE WINDY PROMISE MAKER
His Excellency, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, among many promises made before your emergence as the executive governor of a used-to-be state of harmony, that you have devised plans on how to generate revenue for the state and thereby, won't have to borrow money to execute projects and pay salaries. Your excellency sir, your failure started the day you went against your campaign promises made to the people by ending up borrowing a huge sum of money before you could even execute a project. If not for the existing projects done by the previous administration, I wonder what a modern-day PAINTER like you will spray your glossy fluids upon.
Never promise more than you can perform, because it is always easier said than done.
Moreover, we have agreed that you lack the technical know-how on how to generate funds for the state, hence, we are only at the mercy of the dwindling federal allocation and the KWIRS, of which we owe the past administration words of appreciation for they were able to structure the sector (KWIRS) that today, serves the state and without such sector been properly structured the unimaginable would have happened.
It is peculiar to every opposition to talk ill of their opponents, but, at least, they deserve your praise for creating a healthy revenue collection service.
Transparency is another one as it is one of the characteristics of democracy. We expect the AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq-led administration to emulate the previous administration by making the IGR public every year. Kwarans could not recall the last time your government publish the amount of money generated by the Kwara Internal Revenue Service(KWIRS), which I believe we deserved to know the amount of money made from our taxes.
Dear Your Excellency, I believe you know that you are answerable to every Kwarans, and for that, we request that you address us and explain the state of things to Kwarans. Seeing several publications on various social media platforms makes us happy as that indicates that some projects have been done in the state. But all the acclaimed projects are nowhere to be found in real-life and that leaves Kwarans to wonder if there is another Kwara state elsewhere.
ADVERT:
Al-iman thrift wear, the beat wear you can trust
Your Chief Press, who together with his errand boys short-changed their primary assignment, only to derive pleasure in using foul languages against innocent Kwarans who are only concerned about the affairs of the state. He sees politics in every statement aimed at this administration.
However, we would not for that reason, ceased to register our concerns about the ill affairs of the state.
One after the other. Let's talk about the road infrastructure
Available data on the repair of roads in the financial books of the Kwara State Government (KWSG) shows the following:
_____
In 2017, a sum of 296,669,367 naira was spent on the repair of roads as of December 2017.
In 2018, a sum of 420,076,380 naira was spent on the repair of roads as of September 2018.
In 2019, a sum of 498,889,310 naira was spent on the repair of roads as of December 2019.
In the year 2020, a sum of 994,286,090.08 naira was spent on the repair of roads as of December 2020.
In 2021, a sum of 281,528,608.00 naira was spent on the repair of roads as of September 2021 out of the 350,000,000.00 appropriated for it in the revised 2021 budget.
This means that year 2020 got the highest spending of KWSG on the repair of roads in the last 5 years.
This pattern may help members of the public who are interested in the topic of road repairs. ~ENetSuD (counter figures are welcome if there are any)
If 2020 could gulp a substantial amount (994,286,090.08) I wonder why our roads are still in such a terrible condition. Worst of the cases are roads across the state capital.
That's not all. "In 2021, this administration (AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq's), took N27.2bn private bond to steadily bridge infrastructural gaps..." That's according to Ajakaye.
If such an exorbitant amount is borrowed for the purpose mentioned, the simple question is, why are our roads still in bad condition?
