The Politics of Ekiti State's Development Conundrum.

 The Politics of Ekiti State's Development Conundrum.

As Ekiti State approaches three decades of existence, it's disheartening to witness the myriad challenges plaguing its development.

 The state's infrastructure, particularly its major entrance roads, is in a deplorable state.

 Rather than acknowledging the issues and working towards solutions, some individuals are quick to label critics as enemies of the state.

Constructive criticism is essential in governance, and citizens' voices should be valued, not vilified. 

It's imperative for leaders to engage with citizens, provide explanations, and offer veritable facts.

 The statistics are stark: Ekiti State, with over 28 years of existence, has a population of less than 3 million people back home, and its socio-economic development is hindered by:

- Hunger

- Poverty

- Unemployment

- Poor infrastructure

- Insecurity

- Almost zero industrialization

Rather than playing politics, it's time for leaders to confront these challenges head-on.

 Posterity will judge everyone based on their roles in Ekiti State's development.

 Let's focus on facts and work towards a brighter future for the state.

The question remains: how much has Ekiti State received over the past 28 years from FAAC allocation, IGR, loans, grants, bonds, etc., and how has it been utilized? 

It's time for transparency and accountability. The people of Ekiti State deserve better.

A land endowed with huge various natural resources in commercial quantities, great and learned human capital, arable lands, tourist attractions, and powerful cultural heritage. 

Until we put politics aside and collectively come together with one mission of a greater Ekiti State, development will be far away from our state. 

We would remain one of the states with cosmetic governance in Nigeria.

We should stop playing politics with socio-economic development. 

Let's keep our voices loud and moving forward.
