Remove Your Veil: Ado LGC – A Bastion of Law, Not a Banana Republic

Recent allegations against Ado Local Government Council (LGC) Chairman, Hon. Engr. Oche Sunday Oche, are deeply troubling and misrepresent the council’s commitment to transparency and progress. Claims by Alegu Adadu in his piece, “Eyes Wide Shut,” alleging political maneuvering in halting construction projects are inaccurate and damaging to the community.

Ado LGC is not a lawless “banana republic.” It is a vibrant community grounded in principles of due process, knowledge, and wisdom, dedicated to achieving sustainable development through transparent means. Any decision to pause construction projects should be viewed, not as a “witch-hunt,” but as a necessary measure to ensure proper procedures are followed and the integrity of public resources is maintained.

Hon. Oche’s record demonstrates a commitment to Ado’s development, evident in his past initiatives like the grading and laterite road projects in the Utonkon axis. His actions are driven by a vision for sustainable progress, not by personal or political gain. Ado residents should support leaders who prioritize accountability and integrity, not those who resort to divisive accusations.

Let us, instead of engaging in baseless accusations, focus on constructive dialogue and collaboration. Ado LGC deserves leadership that fosters growth, unity, and progress, free from the influence of political gamesmanship.

The usual tricks of politicians in our clime trying to instigate sentiments and emotional blackmail should stop for the greater good of all.
