It is an adage that says "what worth doing worth doing well" and that "experience is the best teacher" yet "the taste of pudding is in eating".
All these above mention maxims was what dictated the choice of our guest for this week considering the victory of the People Democratic Party in Oyo State, ushering in a new dawn and administration of Governor Seyi Makinde, with his Director of Campaign 2019; in person of Honourable Bayo Lawal, who bared out his mind on the much appreciation and gratitude to God and the members of his party, from the topmost echelon of ladder to the lower rung of ladder, who contributed immensely to see to the victory of the party overwhelmingly, which enable People's Democratic Party to seized the control of the governance in Oyo State from APC; which had been in control of the state earlier for good eight years before PDP came into control.
And regarding the victory PDP we deem it fit to have an exclusive interview with the Director of Campaign 2019; Honourable Bayo Lawal, who talked to show appreciation to God and briefed us on their incipient steps taken to start the ball rolling in the governance of the Oyo State, as unwind-ed below in our report.
Sir, we like you to introduce yourself?
Well, my name is Chief Bayo Lawal DG Seyi Makinde 2019 Campaign Organization.
The effort your team-mates pulled in the last campaign before the election now to the present victory, what do you see to it now, and how do you feel about the victory?
I feel elated, very happy, I thank God for the success, it was only God that had made it happened , my big thanks goes to the Almighty God first, I feel happy that the collective effort came to reality, because it was not a one man's show, it was a collective effort, it was collectively achieved so once again and every time as I always sa I give thanks to the Almighty God.
With the steps the administration of Governor Seyi Makinde has taken so far what do you have to say about it?
So far so good, we have started delivering our campaign promises; we told everybody that on resumption we are abolishing school fees we have done that, we told the people of Oyo State that once we are inaugurated we are opening the agelong closed bridge, and once the empror has gone and we felt that it will be a madness to keep on locking the bridge now we have opened the bridge , the same day we made the announcement same day we opened the bridge, the day we were sworn in and we name the bridge "Freedom - Bridge", we also promised that immediately we resume we will run an open government and you could see that what has happened so far nothing is hidden, as the few appointment that government has made it was open, openly discussed with stakeholders and we have achieved it, we have started , we have appointed so many people and I couls see from people's now and we promised that the salary will be paid as at when due and to people's surprise we have paid the salary for May 2019, they were actually shocked because nobody believes we can actually make that but we kept to our promise , we have paid May 2019 salary even before the end of the month and that will be our policy for the rest of our four years , so we believe in action and we have started taking it, we promise and we still taking to it that dividend of democracy will reach everybody , I can assure you that, so we have started Insha Allah.
The reverse of the Permanent Secretaries that our Governor Seyi Makinde has done what do you see to it?
There is nothing spectacular about it, it is a normal thing , as every governor or government does that, it is not only this present government in Oyo State even infact most of the governors did it in the past like APC'S Governors, it is unreasonable for any governor after losing election to start appointing people into various offices, to start promoting people into various offices, what has he been doing for the past eight years , why is that after losing election he started doing that activity , that means he is doing that with bad fate.
On the issue of NURYTW what can you say about that ?
The issue of NURTW is being proscribed and we now have time to sit down after meeting upon meeting and come up with better policy , that will make everybody happy, ensuring that the outcome is peaceful.
Sir, what do you expect from Governor Seyi Makinde?
What we expect is the fulfillment of our campaign promises, which I told you earlier on that it has started and we told you agriculture is going to be in the forefront of activity and we still stick to that, and we told you health issue will be , we will deal with it, we promised education, which will be in the forefront, we promised peace and tranquility and I can assure you the way we started people thought there will be crisis within the last few days coming up because from our policy statement on the NURTW issue but you could see there wasnt any of such, everywhere is peaceful , because they know what we are doing , we have good intention so nobody is raising eyebrow and nobody is fighting.
What is your message to the populace outside to give the cooperation to this present government ?
Of course I will appeal to the citizens of the Oyo State to give us maximum cooperation , we meant well, we are going to run an open government , well, we are human being just like any other person , if there should be any mistake the people should feel free to contact us, to advise us, feel free to counsel us, but we are going to be a listening government , we are not going to be an empror , nor a dictator, so we are democratic government , we are not going to enslave them, in fact we are there to serve them, we are their messenger , so we look forward to maximum cooperation from them .
And this was how we came to the conclusion of our interview with Director of Campaign 2019 for Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State in person of Chief/Honourable Bayo Lawal, with us being satisfied to have been educated, updated and enlightened better about the situation of things with the present but fresh administration of Governor Seyi Makinde of the People's Democratic Party.

"My appeal against the dissolution of OSIEC was no politically motivated"- OYHA Honorable Asimiyu Alarape representing Atiba State Constituency
NEWS:
Oyo State House of Assembly Member Honourable Asimiyu Alarape and also the minority leader representing Atiba State Constituency has made his intention known with his appeal against the dissolution of OSIEC as in the spirit of a true indigene of the Oyo State and also as an honourable that had served earlier in the Oyo State Honourable House of Assembly before, who saw to the creation of the LCDA and by the virtue of this he believes in the continuation of any good idea set by any government since governance is continuum.
He emphatically argued that since law is super-most in all ramification , the legality of the creation of the additional developmental areas called LCDA through the Oyo State House of Assembly was justifiably done , despite the fact that there was a court case on how to spell out the actual redefinition of the power to the creation of local government, which is still at the ambit of the State Assembly to do, before the notification of the National Assembly, citing a court case of 2002 comprising three adhoc committees from the Oyo State House of Assembly and that of the Federal House of Representative and Senate, but was abandoned because of the inconsistency of the government in power then.
However, he justified his position on the motion as being good and correct , serving his role as a minority leader in the house , who is a representative and indigene of the Oyo State that has had the privilege to be in the Oyo State House of Assembly before, seeing the creation of LCDA hence would not pray to see what was built to his witness lawfully be destroyed, while he commended the fact that the area of the election for the LCDA could be controversially challenging,
yet appreciated the fact that the deliberation in the honourable house among the honourable members to the dissolution of the OSIEC in conducting election for the LCDA as being democratic, where the majority have had their way and the minority have had their say.

" We cannot build legality on illegality"- OYHA Honourable Member Adeola Bamidele Iseyin/ Itesiwaju.
NEWS:-
Oyo State House of Assembly Honourable Member Adeola Bamidele representing Iseyin/ Itesiwaju described the act of conducting election for the LCDAs in May 2018 by OSIEC as illegal, since the Local Council Development Area is not recognized officially by the constitution of Nigeria but only for developmental purposes in the State, aside the fact that the Federal Government has not made any provision of financial allocation for it, as the originally official and recognized thirty-three local government in Oyo State.He clarified on his statement that though the Honourable House of Assembly is not against the creation of the LCDA which could be done on developmental purpose, but to create an enabling environment that will be sustainable for long the Oyo State government must be cautious to know that only the thirty-three local governments are the recognized ones by the Federal Government and also backed by the constitution of Nigeria, so in order not to create confusion or disparage the stand of stipulation of the law on the status-quo ; it is better OSIEC should have respect the dictate of the constitution, rather than conducting the illegal election for the LCDAs.
However, the honourable member further stressed that only a change could happened with any state under the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by having the due process being followed, with official letter being filed by the state government, backed by the honourable members of the State of Assembly to the National Assembly for approval , with the President giving assent to it, which without this due process the creation of the LCDA does not make it a legal entity.
Meanwhile, he reiterated that despite the creation of the LCDAs; a special arrangement will be made between the thirty-three local governments and the LCDAs in the sharing of the allocation that come to the recognized local governments, while emphasis would be laid on the generation of more fund through IGR, with the introduction of laudable projects and programmes that could bring more development to their localities.
Nevertheless, he vouched on behalf of the Honourable House of Assembly to have advised the Executive for the dissolution of OSIEC and thus nominate people of integrity and objectivity in conducting election for the existing thirty-three local governments in Oyo State, so as to have chairmen being voted in for the management of the thirty three local governments, with administrators being put in the LCDAs along side for the smooth running of the system for the Oyo State Government
