This is one the respond of a resident at Adigbe CDC.
Your Excellency,
Prince Dapo Abiodun mfr.
Excecutive Governor
Ogun State,
Nigeria.

Petition: Ogun State relief package, an eyesore.

My dear Governor, I want to greet you for your selfless efforts in making sure that Ogun State is great and paramountly at this trying time to protect the entire Ogun people from the COVID 19 pendemic, may you and your family be save too. Amen

As a law abiding citizen of the state, STAY AT HOME ORDER has no option but it is a life provoking situation.

Your excellency sir, my life was more provoked and threatened today 4th of April 2020 at about 7pm when I was thinking of how to survive and relief the hardship on my family when my community chairman posted the attached picture with the information that “this is what was given to the entire community as a relief package from the Government (Ogun State).

Sir, for the fact that the pack was left unsealed as at the time am penning you, I suspect the content of the package can not be more than 10 congos (measurement) of rice.

My highly respected Governor sir, the population of my community can not be less that 250.

This is a community that struggles to survive on its own without any government support ranging from security, Roads, electricity and other amenities.

Sir, I am more provoked and disappointed when this kind of message was delivered and the messanger claimed that it was from your government.

Allow me sir to make a Breif analysis of what 10 Congo of rice will likely give a household, in the community we have 79 occupied houses and about 100 households, there is 8 tins (milk) of rice in one Congo, hence sir 80 tins of rice for the community.
Let me assume 20 households will not be interested in sharing and eighty are, this will amount to a tin (milk) of rice was given to a household in the community. Alas, what a relief package.

Your excellency sir, if truely this is what you asked your messanger to deliver to US as a community, then this is nothing but AN EYESORE, A RIDICULOUS SIGNAL AND A NEW BADAGRI OF 21st century.

Finally, as a person and a rightful citizen of the state who is in dear need of a true releif at this tough time, I honorably reject this Gesture.

I therefore advice that this is not good for us as a State and Nation as the future of our children is being threatened.

Thanks you and stay safe

Here I drop my pen.

TRIBUTE TO PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI, GCFR With a deeply heavy heart and profound sense of personal loss, I join millions of Nigerians and friends around the world to mourn the passing of our former President, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR. I extend my heartfelt condolences to his beloved wife, Hajiya Aisha Buhari, his children, and his entire extended family. I also condole with the government and people of Katsina State, especially the Daura Emirate, where President Buhari’s journey in life began — a town whose name has become inextricably linked with his legacy. President Buhari’s record of service to Nigeria is almost unparalleled. From the battlefield to the ballot box, he stood as a sentinel of duty. As a military officer, Head of State, and twice-elected President, he offered over five decades of his life to the service of our nation in times of strife and in peaceful times — guided always by a belief in discipline, integrity, and nationhood. What often went unnoticed in public commentary was his unwavering commitment to the core values that bind any serious society: order, punctuality, and accountability. He did not just talk about these values; he lived them. He was perhaps the most punctual public servant I ever encountered — never late to cabinet meetings, always respecting the time of others. It may seem a small thing, but in governance, it is everything. It sets a tone. He had a deep yearning for a society governed by rules, not by impulse. This found early expression in his War Against Indiscipline, a campaign often misread as rigid but rooted in a desire to rebuild a citizenry of order, courtesy, and civic responsibility. I feel privileged to have served in his cabinet — first in the consolidated Ministry of Power, Works and Housing, and later in the restructured Ministry of Works and Housing. President Buhari was not a man to micromanage; instead, he gave you the space and the trust to deliver. With that trust, however, came the highest expectations of discipline, results, and honesty. He had a quiet strength. Yet, within and outside the cabinet, I witnessed his compassion — his deep concern for the poor, the pensioner, the soldier in the trenches, the almajiri child, and the underserved in every part of this country. Under his leadership, the nation confronted formidable challenges: insurgency, economic volatility, a global pandemic, and deep political tension. Yet he remained consistent — never ruled by noise or poll ratings, only by the burden of responsibility and his belief in posterity’s judgment. His death marks the end of a defining chapter in Nigeria’s journey — one marked by sacrifice, moral authority, and patriotic resolve. But even in death, President Muhammadu Buhari leaves behind a living legacy: one of service above self, of discipline without drama, of truth without theatrics. May the Almighty Allah (SWT), whom he served with devotion and humility, forgive his shortcomings and grant him eternal rest in Aljannah Firdaus. Adieu, Mai Gaskiya as you were fondly referred to. Nigeria salutes you. Signed, Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN CON
