IDEOLOGY AND CLEAR-CUT POLICIES: THE AKK ADVANTAGE

 



The dearth of ideology and clear-cut policies in Nigerian politics and governance is a longstanding issue.

Nigerian political parties have struggled with ideological inconsistencies, resulting in a poverty of ideology. This lack of clear direction has hindered the country's development and democratic growth.

Many people have acquired political power without having a blueprint of what exactly to do with the power. Nigeria has had many "accidental public office holders" who just struggle to 'procure' political power and start a trial and error process.

Money politics has become a significant factor in Nigerian elections, overshadowing policy debates and ideological discussions. This emphasis on wealth rather than ideas undermines the democratic process.

The absence of strong institutions has also allowed personal interests to dominate political discourse, further eroding the role of ideology.

Without clear policies and ideologies, Nigeria's national development has suffered, with socio-political and economic crises persisting.

The absence of ideology has left citizens disconnected from the political process, fostering apathy and disillusionment.

Fostering policy discussions and debates can help shift focus from wealth to ideas.

To address Nigeria's governance challenges, it's essential to prioritize ideology and policy over wealth and personal interests.


Dr. ADEWALE KOLAPO KAREEM  is a man with a difference. He has written so many times about policies and ideas required to move the Nation, especially Oyo State forward. His grasp of the issues and the solutions is phenomenal.

Being close to the grassroots, he understands the feelings of the people and what they need to make their lives better.

He has been involved in youth development and capacity building so he has an eye for the next generation.

AKK does not just want political office. He knows how to use it for the benefit of humanity and the grace of God.

 THAT IS THE AKK ADVANTAGE.

  ONIDO: THE MANY ATROCITIES OF MURITALA GBOLAGADE BABALOLA Muritala Gbolagade first came to Ido as a worker in the farm of a prominent Ibadan Chief located in Ido local government. He was fortunate to have made money while working for the Chief. How he made so much money from his employer is debatable and shrouded in mystery. After leaving the farm he showed interest in investing in Ido. He built a house in Ilaju where he resides till date. Always with an eye for investors to help develop Ido, the then Onido, Benjamin Ishola Orobiyi II gave Gbolagade a chieftaincy title of Ashipa of Ido. Little did the Orobiyi know that he was giving honour to a criminal. Gbolagade, through bribery and subterfuge plotted to get to the throne of his benefactor. His intentions were not noble. His plan was to use the position to enhance his various nefarious activities. Before he was suspended on 2 nd February 2024, he was noted for many criminal activities, chief among which were: ...

ONIDO: DEVELOPMENT OF IDO, PAST AND PRESENT CONTRIBUTIONS

  ONIDO:   DEVELOPMENT OF IDO, PAST AND PRESENT CONTRIBUTIONS Ido was founded by Agura, who was in the group that left Ile Ife with Oranmiyan to establish Old Oyo. On getting to the location in the forest, after consulting his Ifa priest he named the place Ido. Ido is today the headquarters of Ido Local Government. Ido is quite developed and still developing. Ido houses many government facilities and non-governmental development projects. New businesses, housing estates, medical facilities and schools dot the town. This has been made possible by contributions and sacrifices of past monarchs and royal families in Ido. When the Ibadan West District Council was established 5 th August 1961, with Ido as the headquarters the reigning Onido, Pa Yesufu Ladapo Orobiyi gave his farm land to the council freely. This selfless act   made it possible for the new council to settle down in Ido. The Local Government today stands on the Orobiyi Family land. Pa Lawani Dare O...
