Don’t take people for granted, bishop tells Amosun

Amosun

Reverend Emmanuel Adekunle, the Diocesan Bishop of Egba, has advised the Ogun State governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, not take the people of the state for granted with his policies and programmes.

He said: All infrastructures provided would not be meaningful if the people continue to live in ABJECT POVERTY, adding that his administration should be more human oriented.

The cleric, who was apparently reacting to the recent industrial action embarked on by state civil servants in February,  urged the governor to honour agreement with the workers.

He also called on Amosun to pay attention to the payment of gratuity to all pensioners, pointing out that many of the retirees had died without the opportunity to access what they laboured for.

“Let me use this opportunity, again, to remind the governor not to take the people for granted. Let your government be more human-oriented. All infrastructures provided will be meaningful to the people if the individual and family immediate needs are met.

“The people want food on their table they want to be clothed, they want to be addressed as landlord, and they want their obligations met be it financial or relationship,” he added.

He also called on the governor to check the excesses of some officials of the town planning unit, who according to him, have been harrassing people that were displaced by the construction of new roads in satellte towns.
