Four days into his tenure, Osun State workers embarked on a general strike, paralyzing the city of Osogbo and subjecting the new Secretary to the State Government, SSG, to serious harassment. We need to evaluate the tenure of Akande in Osun to understand the power and impact of the governors. He learnt politics and principle of loyalty from our beloved Uncle Bola Ige. It was from all these savings that Akande gifted Osun State with the sprawling Secretariat and the magnificent Bola Ige House which is the Governor’s Office. Akande changed Osun State for the better and since then, every single governor of the state has been measured by the Akande standard.
