  Obasanjo Asked to Release Programmes
   

From Funso Muraina in Akure

((( BACK

President Olusegun Obasanjo has been advised to release his programmes to states if he wanted to be re-elected for a second term.

The advice was given by an environmentalist, Profe-ssor Fela Ebisemiju, who made a return to hs former party the Alliance for Democracy (AD).

He said Obasanjo had very good intentions for the country but regretted that money earmarked for people oriented projects ended in private pockets.

He said, progressive programmes of Obasanjo were being handled in a conservative manner and advised that he should hand over such programmes to the states for better implementation.

Ebisemiju said his sojourn in Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was a lesson and he had discovered that PDP had no programmes and what the President was implementing was progressive projects.

He debunked the claim by Dr. Olusegun Agagu that Apostle Bamidele Olumilua's administration was responsible for making Ondo state enjoy oil money saying efforts to make the state an oil producing state started in 1980.

He claimed that he moved the motion at the state house of Assembly on the oil wells crude oil production.

"If any government is to be given credit , therefore, for making Ondo State to enjoy oil money it was Micheal Adekunle Ajasin. And if any individual is to share in this credit, it is Prof. Fela Ebisemiju".

He warned that Agagu Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate should not make the issue of oil "a campaign issue" saying he was trying to reap where he did not "sow." He predicted that PDP will break up in 2007 and urged the progressive there to move to AD and that AD would become the biggest party in Nigeria.
