The Former Vice Chairman of the Ondo State Football Association, Otunba Dele Ologbese says that the Ondo State Government’s announcement of the outright sale of Sunshine Stars is a misplaced priority.
It would be recalled that the Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, Hon. Bamidele Ologun had announced that the State Government was ready to sell the Club to the right investor.
Ologbese stated this while speaking with newsmen via telephone on Thursday in Akure.
He said he was surprised by the level of desperation on the part of the government to get rid of the only source of joy for sports enthusiasts not only in Ondo State but the entire South-West region.
He said that Ondo State Government initially told stakeholders it was exploring Public Private Partnership( PPP) option in the management of the Club, which he said was never a bad idea until we heard the news it had finally decided to sell off Sunshine Stars FC which amounts to insincerity and inconsistency on the part of the government.
“It’s mind blogging the government is demonstrating apparent insincerity and inconsistency on this matter all these while through its hide and seek approach since it hadn’t rescind its unprogressive intention to sell off Ondo State’s commonwealth- Sunshine Stars FC to foreigners who are likely paying pantry sum in taking full possession of the Club.
“Why is Ondo State not toeing commendable lines of Abia, Oyo, Benue, Rivers and Anambra States governments who efficiently manage Eyimba, 3SC, Lobi Stars, Rivers Utd and Enugu Rangers respectively without complaints or laudable attempts at disposing their cherished Teams at give away amounts as desperately contemplated by Ondo State Government in selling off its only premiership club to ghost investors”.
“With the look of things, no private entrepreneur worth his or her salt is ready to invest in Sunshine Stars due to uncertainties in Nigeria’s football business which investments would be uneasy or almost impossible to recoup.
“With this awkward scenario, it would extremely be a misplaced priority for Ondo State Government to continue to waste its precious time sourcing for investors who would buy the Club as we all knew it would only gift it away to allies at ridiculous amount to be eventually resold for heavy profits,” he said.
He said the outright sale of the club, created by a former Military Administrator of the State, Col. Ahmed Usman in 1996 would surely have adverse effects on the intimidating soccer records of the State as well as the achievements of the Government’s administration.
Ondo State Deputy Governor, Hon Lucky Aiyedatiwa said Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu’s administration right from inception planned and is executing a master plan in various facets of the life of the State with special attention on security and closing poverty gap in the State .
This deliberate developmental efforts on Economic sustainability, visionary leadership and inclusive growth has resulted into Ondo State recent declaration as having lowest poverty level in Nigeria, he said.
“The survey conducted by the National Bureau of Statistics ( NBS ), the National Social Safety-Nets Coordinating Office ( NASSCO ), the United Nations Development Programme ( UNDP ), the United Nations Children’s Fund ( UNICEF ), and the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative ( OPHI ) is in confirmation of Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu’s Economic sustainability, visionary leadership and inclusive growth” , he said.
Aiyedatiwa made this declaration while representing Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu SAN, CON, at the 6th Year Anniversary/Launching of N100 million Artisans Secretariat held at NEPA Car Park Ground, Arakale Road, Akure on Wednesday.
The Deputy Governor equally reiterated the commitment of the State Government to the safety and security of lives and property of Ondo State residents, while commending the synergy enjoyed by law enforcement agencies in the State.
Government will continue to reinvigorate the economy, providing the right impetus for the needed growth in the State, he said.
“Our government will never waiver in our determination for peaceful co-existence, unity and sustainable development” , declared Aiyedatiwa.
While thanking the Deputy Governor and others for honouring them with their presence, Artisans Society Of Ondo State President, Comrade Komolafe Daisi said the event was to thank and appreciate God for the journey so far, and also to create awarenesses and seek supports for the growth of the association.

The rally kicked off at the popular Akure Motor Park in Ondo with party supporters and loyalists coming out in large numbers wearing the party’s T-shirts, caps and brandishing their brooms with enthusiasm while singing and dancing to the delight of everyone who expressed nothing but joy and hope for the emergence of the party at all levels come 2023.
The enthusiastic supporters sang and danced across the nook and cranny of the city as they presented their candidates to the good people of Ondo kingdom to be voted in come 2023 general elections.
Speaking at the event, Dr. Jibayo Adeyeye declared that the people of Ondo city have decided to throw their weight behind the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and all their candidates for the 2023 general elections in the state, saying that is the essence of the solidarity walk across the city.
The Special Adviser emphasised that Tinubu would bring the desired change and redefine governance in the country with his weath of experience as former Governor of Lagos State.
“We have come out en masse to show our support, belief and conviction in the credibility of all our candidates. From our presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to all our candidates in the state like our Senatorial candidate Adeniyi Adegbonmire (SAN), our House of Representatives candidate, Honourable Abiola Makinde and our House of Assembly candidates.
“We believe in their good antecedents, capacity and competence. We believe in the APC, we believe in what the APC has done in the last seven and a half years and we believe in what APC can do in the coming years. This is demonstrated by the mammoth crowd that came out today to show that we all believe in the APC in Ondo state. Look at the laudable achievements of Mr Governor in the state. We are all apostles of the APC in Ondo state and I know that with what we have seen here today, the 2023 election is already won”, Adeyeye said.
On his part, Mr. Wale Akinlosotu said all the APC candidates including the Senatorial, the House of Representatives and the State House of Assembly are credible and reliable.
“They have been tested and we know that they are all credible. The state Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu (SAN) is performing. If we look at the report that just came out from the federal government, Ondo state is the least poor state in the whole of Nigeria. That is something to celebrate. Akeredolu is working for us in Ondo state”, the Commissioner added.
Also, the House of Assembly candidate for Ondo West Constituency 1, Moyinolorun Ogunwumiju declared that Ondo East and West Local Government Areas are solidly behind the ambition of the APC and will deliver for the party at the 2023 polls.
“This is a statement from the people of Ondo that we have all come together as one to deliver for the APC. As we can all see, our leaders believe in the youths and that is why we have youths candidates like Ogunwumiju for Ondo West Constituency 1, and Abiola Oladapo for Constituency 2. It shows that the APC is committed towards ensuring that young people are at the helms of affairs”, he stressed.

…Gets Award Of Excellence On Fiscal Transparency And Accountability
…It’s A Result Of Our Deliberate Developmental Efforts – Akeredolu
The federal government has disclosed that Ondo State has the lowest poverty level in the country with 27 percent.
The figure was presented during the launch of Nigeria’s Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) Survey in Abuja on Thursday.
The survey was conducted by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), the National Social Safety-Nets Coordinating Office (NASSCO), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI).
According to the report, the measure used to calculate the figure was based on Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) with five components of health, living standard, education, security and unemployment.
The survey, which reveled that 63 percent of persons within Nigeria, 133 million, are living in poverty, identified Sokoto State as having the highest poverty level among the states in the country with 91 percent while Ondo has the lowest with 27 percent.
This is even as the state also received an Award of Excellence on the World Bank’s States Fiscal Transparency, Accountability and Sustainability (SFTAS) for being a very good performer on Fiscal Transparency and Accountability.
The award was received in Abuja at an event tagged, “Federal Government of Nigeria/World Bank States Fiscal Transparency, Accountability and Sustainability (SFTAS) recognition dinner with Governors/Awards Night.”
Reacting to the development, Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, who spoke through his Chief Press Secretary, Richard Olatunde, said his administration has continued to prioritise the need to lift the people of the state out of poverty.
He noted that his administration’s programmes and policies are tailored towards addressing the needs of the people and providing succor for even generations unborn.
“It is clear from the measure used to calculate the figure which was based on Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) with five components of health, living standard, education, security and unemployment.
“The Governor Akeredolu administration has continued to record giant strides in all these areas, thereby reducing poverty levels in the state and promoting more economic activities.
“On health, this administration inherited two Mother and Child hospitals in Akure and Ondo town which services had already been suspended on account of backlog of debts incurred on consumables, most significantly on drugs.
“Governor Akeredolu revived services at these facilities and expanded the mother and child hospitals from just two to seven across the three senatorial districts of the state.
“Similarly, On the 6th of February, 2018, Governor Akeredolu signed into Law the bill establishing the Ondo State Contributory Health Commission (ODCHC) and the Ondo State Contributory Health Scheme (ODCHS). The ODCHC has a five bespoke health insurance products for all strata of the teeming population of Ondo state under the ODCHS cover, including the Abiyamo Maternal & Child Health Insurance Scheme (AMCHIS).
“The Abiyamo Maternal & Child Health Insurance Scheme (AMCHIS) is a State Equity Scheme for two sets of Vulnerables – Pregnant women and Under-5 children. This program is fully funded by the State Government.
“Governor Akeredolu launched this scheme on the 3rd of December, 2019. Since the inception of the scheme, it has made provision of maternal and child care free and sustainable. It gives access to Antenatal care, delivery (including Caesarean section), post-natal care for the mother (up to 6 weeks after delivery), neonatal care (first 30 days of baby’s life) and treatment of common illnesses in children till they attain the age of five years. Beneficiaries do not pay for services.
“The pre-qualification criterion to enjoy this scheme is the Kaadi Igbeayo (Ondo State Residency Card), which is issued to residents of Ondo State by the State Information Technology Agency (SITA). Governor Akeredolu has also ensured that the card is issued at NO COST to pregnant women willing to become AMCHIS beneficiaries.
“It should also be known that the premium for AMCHIS is solely paid by the Ondo State Government and there is a state budgetary line yearly to this effect. Till date, AMCHIS has recorded over 22,500 beneficiaries (pregnant women and children below five years of age).
“Since this scheme was launched on the 3rd of December, 2019, a total number of 24,678 including Pregnant Women and Children under 5 have benefited till date. At the Mother and Child Hospital, Akure alone, over 4,842 total number of Pregnant Women have accessed Ante-Natal Care till date with 3,432 total deliveries.
“As we speak, there is an ongoing construction of a modern world-class 250-bed University of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospital complexes in Akure and Ondo town respectively. This is aside the regular provision of medical equipment at the teaching hospital and Mother and Child hospitals.
“On Education, Governor Akeredolu has reconstructed over 800 public primary schools in the state with perimeter fence and modern equipment. This has increased enrollment in the public schools and encouraged parents and guardians to send their children or wards to schools with ease.
“The adequate security in the state has continued to attract investors. The hospitality business is growing in Akure, the state capital, and other parts of the state. Over the last five years, Governor Akeredolu has regularly equipped the police, Army, Navy, Civil Defence, the DSS and other security agencies in the state.
“The establishment of the Amotekun corps has reinforced confidence among our people. The usual fear that accompanied inter-state trading and other economic activities within the state has been eroded by the galant efforts of Amotekun corps. Ondo is safe for business.
“In Ore, the Ondo-Linyi industrial hub which has also continued to provide jobs and oil the state’s economy is another giant leap taken by the Governor Akeredolu administration. Today, there are over eight companies including textile industry, MDF factory, HDF factory, cassava to ethanol pant, Truck assembly plant, and other investments at the industrial hub.
“The Ondo State Government in partnership with the Linyi Municipal in China made this happened. Many indigenes and dweller of the state are employed into these industries and many more. Just as the growing hospitality industry in the state are providing jobs for the unemployed.
“Unlike before when investors drove for hours to come to Ondo State, there are three major airlines that fly Lagos-Akure-Abuja route. Undoubtedly, these have promoted investment opportunities, driven provision of employment and promote economic activities in the Sunshine State.
“At the Ondo State Internal Revenue Service where Governor Akeredolu built the first of its kind Revenue House, over 500 young graduates have been employed. This is aside the recruitment of over one thousand teachers, over 425 health workers including Consultants, Nursing officers, Staff Nurses/Midwives, Medial doctors, Pharmacists, Radiographers among others.
“Also, the State Primary Healthcare Development Agency has recruited 804 health personnel. The UNIMEDTH wasn’t left out. Over 400 medical personnel have so far been recruited. At the Mother and Child hospital in Akure, there are 434 health workers presently working at the facility.”
“Lastly, the infrastructural development in the state is massive. Over 274.11km of roads have been completed across the 18 Local Government Areas of the State while 120km are ongoing. Among the completed roads awaiting commissioning are the 4.5km Agadagba Obon-New Ajapa Road in Ese-Odo Local Government Area; 10.0km Okitipupa-Igbokoda Bye pass, Okitipupa Local Government Area; 3.0km Oke Igbo Township roads, Ile-Oluji/Okeigbo Local Government; 8.05km Ikaramu-Akunnu Road in Akoko Northwest Local Government Area and 1.6km Ikaro Township Road, in Ose Local Government Area.”
.Ondo PDP Diving Into Self-Ridicule, Has No Respect For Human Lives
Press Statement
It has become crystal clear that the PDP in Ondo State has no iota of respect for human lives. The opposition party is prepared, out of desperation, to play politics with the lives of the people and demean any effort of the present administration in the state to save lives.
For clarity and education of the PDP, flyovers are not constructed for decoration or fancy. They are constructed as careful interventions to forestall unnecessary road mishaps. Since Government responsibilities are huge with limited resources, the need to plan and prioritise projects has become expedient.
For several years, the intersection at Ore was a nightmare, not only to the people of Ondo State but other road users plying the Lagos/Benin Expressway. Sadly, there were frequent carnages at that spot in Ore. Lives were lost. Precious times were wasted due to gridlocks.
To address the nasty situation, Governor Akeredolu moved and constructed a flyover, the very first in Ondo State, to save lives and promote economic activities in Ore, which is the economic hub of the state.
It is, however, shameful that the PDP, out of self inflicted selective amnesia, has suddenly forgotten this huge intervention and decided to demean the great effort that has continued to save lives in the state. Politics has boundaries. It should not cross the line when it comes to any efforts geared towards saving the lives of our people. Any act contrary to this is, at least, insensitive. Every responsible opposition knows that saving the lives of the people is a collective gain for the state.
History has already recorded it that Governor Akeredolu is the first Governor in the state to construct the first flyover. This great feat is in Ore and it is saving lives. No adversarial politics can change the narrative.
The clamour for a flyover at the popular Oba Adesida road due to traffic logjams at a time has been defeated with the placement of concrete barriers on the median. It turned out that what was needed was to stop people from indiscriminately crossing the road and not a flyover.
Similarly, the obvious spots where flyover would have been needed in Akure are both FUTA north gate and Onyarubulem junction. But the combined team of the state and federal governments has taken a traffic sensor of the roads and discovered that human recklessness and flagrant violation of traffic rules are the cause of the traffic situations on these spots.
Again, we are happy that the PDP is gradually diving into self-ridicule. Isn’t it ridiculous that a party that was in government for eight years in this state and refused to construct even a pedestrian bridge throughout its stay in office during an era of economic boom has now suddenly realised the need for a flyover in Akure?
For the records, the Akeredolu-led administration has constructed more roads in Akure than all previous governments put together. The work of this administration in Akure, the state capital, is undeniable.
Some of the roads attended to by the Akeredolu administration in the state capital are the Orita-Obele down to Oke-Odu road, Ire-Akari road, Gaga in Oke-Aro, Iwalewa in Oshinle, Abusoro in Ijoka, Signatures-SIB-Alagbaka road, Appeal court to SUBEB road, dualisation of Ijoka road which has reached an appreciable level, dualisation of “A” Division to NEPA roundabout and from NEPA roundabout to Olukayode roundabout and down to Ijoka. A total length of 106.91km of road is ongoing in Akure alone out of which 69.66km has been tarred and delivered.
The massive infrastructural development in Ondo State is imparting lives and providing jobs for our people. The Nigeria’s Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) Survey launched in Abuja on Thursday revealed that Ondo has the lowest poverty level in Nigeria with 27 percent.
The survey was conducted by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), the National Social Safety-Nets Coordinating Office (NASSCO), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), and the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI).
This statistic is an attestation to the fruitful efforts of the Akeredolu administration on job creation, sustained economic development, industrialization and stability.
The PDP should learn how to have a sense of shame and get their facts and figure right before rushing to issue statements that clearly indict them. The people of the state have seen good governance under the Akeredolu administration unlike the cosmetic projects glorified with needless showmanship under the PDP government.
Signed: Richard Olatunde Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Ondo State. November 18, 2022.
