Enough of Imaginary Projects of Ekiti PDP Government

In yet another clownish pronouncement, Ekiti PDP regime has declared its intention to build a multi billion naira airport and a general hospital.

In the midst of project failures, policy incoherence and decadent integrity, the PDP regime continues to blow hot air; building castles in the air with unattainable proposals to site grandiose projects. Regrettably, it could not allude to any successful story in its 30-month illegal occupation of Ekiti government house.

This mouth-running execution of projects had been the hallmark of the PDP government since 2007 with billions of naira passing through executive drain pipes into private coffers.   

We are amazed at the intention of a government that could not fix a 12km  Ifaki-Ado road two years after burning more than 2billion naira, to effectively envision a time and fiscal involving projects like an airport and a general hospital.

It is prodigal and incredible to neglect the state glorified Teaching Hospital which had become a health scare centre to languish in decayed infrastructure while funds are allocated to a white elephant hospital which would certainly remain a bad dream in the thought of a visionless regime.

A regime that could not bestow the State with a befitting stadium is only desirous in raking the state’s treasury into private pockets through an imaginary airport project.

It is amusing that the PDP regime which could not afford  workers’ salaries as and when due could muster a resolve to commit the state into an unattainable project of an airport, while all sectors of the state’s development were unattended to.

It is delusion de grandeur to envisage such projects in a state where the only source of domestic water supply is through the rains.

The PDP regime had never been known to possess the social will and the political vertebrae to nurture an idea into fruition. The major dividend of these proposals is to scoop the till dry and drag the state into fiscal and political indignity.

Such projects are bigger in nature, stature and status than an aberrant regime that holds no popular mandate.

The PDP is only allocating its intended 5billion naira loan on inexplicable projects so as to pave the route to siphon such into private hands.

The State House of Assembly should call the PDP to order.
