A former spokesman for the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in the 2019 election, Segun Showunmi, has lamented that the governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun, is more of a show man than governor.
In a twitter thread, Showunmi said unlike previous administrations in Ogun State that annually held an economic summit to chart a way forward for the state, the Ogun Governor is more concerned about his outward appearance.
He said the governor’s obsession about his looks was so serious to warrant a break from governance just for the governor to grow a white beard.
“In our new era, while others are busy reinventing the future, our man only appears to be spending an obscene amount of time on his looks and dressing with ever matching colours.
“More annoying was the situation where the governor was nowhere to be found at his duty post for weeks on end, and his whereabouts were discussed in hush tones. At the height of it, he was rumoured to have fallen ill and needed urgent medical attention outside the country.
“He finally showed up, and as expected, it was evident that the psychedelic governor had taken time from ithis duty post to grow a white beard and carve same in the style of a not so busy layabout.
“I wondered: so, in the face of all that needs attention in our dear state, all our man can see to busy himself with is his looks! Really?
“Ogun has not paid minimum wage; leave-bonuses of workers are outstanding; there is a shortfall in federal allocation as a result of the present reality, and all the governor worries about is white beards?” he queried
