Should Not Be Just Another Workers Day Tragedy And Farce Interwoven

IN his latest flight from reality, the former governor of the State of Osun has declared Hus bizarre inten on to “reposi on” the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state. This is as preposterous as it gets! Having destroyed a very vibrant progressive movement, he now wants to reposi on it. It cannot get more ridiculous.

Oyetola is not a progressive and knows next to nothing about party management. The results of the presiden al and legisla-

“Oyetola should allow those who built a progressive movement to take over the party and restructure it back into a formidable all conquering force for change. As they have demonstrated at every opportunity, the people of Osun have had enough of the comic interlude, Oyetola blew a great opportunity, he should exit the stage and allow a proper rebuilding of the party to be done” ve elec ons tes fy to this. How a man who gi ed over twenty seats to the opposi on can now be talking about reposi oning is beyond comprehension.

Emo onally stunted Oyetola cannot induce the spirit of accommoda on and expansiveness necessary to create a “Big Tent’, and this is exactly what has to be done if the progressive camp in Osun is to be revived.

Lacking a sense of retrospecon, Oyetola has set up a commi ee of his chosen court jesters to presumably revive the party. Only the delusional can believe that people who cannot deliver their polling units can reposi on a party.

Oyetola should allow those who built a progressive movement to take over the party and restructure it back into a formi- dable all conquering force for change. As they have demonstrated at every opportunity, the people of Osun have had enough of the comic interlude, Oyetola blew a great opportunity, he should exit the stage and allow a proper rebuilding of the party to be done.

It is also an essen al ingredient in the move away from consump on to produc on. It will also be necessary if we are to keep talent at home and stop the “deskilling’ of the economy otherwise referred to as the ‘japa syndrome”. The syndrome is a threat to the prospects of the economy and must be confronted; to do so, we must accept that talent migrates to where it is appreciated, recognised and rewarded. Our low skills, low wage format is fueling the exodus and it must be counteracted.
