It is being aged, specifically, September 2021 that I noticed some members of Academic and Non-academic staff in Oyo State-owned higher institutions and some which I can tag as political errand boys, who also serve as unofficial media aides to the state government, especially on staff salary campaign keep taciturn as if things are exquisite with them, No!
These people are exhibiting an attitude that ought to make them appear strong when they are weak and weak when they are strong.
They over-praised the Governor and turned him into a street star boy even at the detriment of the dwindling arrears payment scale agreed on with the late Goverbor Isiaka Ajimobi.
At this point in time, His Excellency, Governor Seyi Makinde who is too baroque with his strategies on his re-election bid with the majority in the state has left behind the academic and non-academic staff who he now sees as a minority to his success and by the previous hyping would have not option than key into his agenda.
There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact, just because something isn’t a lie does not mean that it isn’t deceptive. Noteworthy, you’d been blindfolded with political lies, a liar knows that he is a liar, but one who speaks a mere portion of truth to deceive is a craftsman of destruction. You can’t talk, you can’t fight, you keep it burning in your heart, because you had celebrated what is not worth to celebrate “payment of salary on 25th of the month” as if it’s a bonus on your salary. Assuredly, he who farts inside the masquerades costume must endure it alone. This is exactly how it started in 2014 when the payment date became pendulum and metamorphosized to accrued arrears before confrontation started until you end the regime of the last government.
Believe me or not, some will still stage campaign for his re-election with this image because they will see this as political criticism but the truth must be told, you caused this to yourself and you can’t blame Mr. Governor because all political warfare is based on deception. Hence, the Union should had been a Union but not a quansi-government.
We say “La plus belle des ruses du diable est de vous persuader qu’il n’existe pas” which means the devil’s finest trick is to persuade you that he does not exist. Think deeply, as you’re giving him mandate for second term in office that he is not only meant to have path to glory of success. Who will believe you that payment of salary did not have a precise date anymore? Are you fine as you’re responding to greeting from your neigbour who work in other parastatals of government, even Secondary Schools teachers who had been paid as when due?
It is well.
