Oyo state first lady spoke to the 'Nation' newspapers to disprove the recent news that she was arrested by the London Metropolitan police for money laundering. According the first lady,she was not arrested as alleged. She claimed that she frequents the UK because she has a 14 year old who attends school in the UK. The question that springs up is the fact that ,as the First Lady,who pays for these trips to UK to see her daughter. Why is it that Nigerian ruling elites send their wards to schools outside the country?
Does it mean that no school within Oyo State and the entire nation is good for her child?
Any leader who wants to run for public office should have their wards attend public schools,if they can't guarantee that,then there is no need to run for public office. If the public schools are not good for your children,then the public office should not be good for Mrs Ajimobi and her husband. A leader should lead by example,how can the governor be telling us that he is going to UK to attract foreign investors when everything his family uses is from an overseas country. Once you become a leader and start drawing income and allowances from tax payers money,there are sacrifices and adjustments that has to be made and one of them is to be on the side of the people you are ruling by showing good examples. You can not expect the populace to take you serious when you claim you mean well for the public education sector of the state when all your children are enrolled in foreign schools are high cost. You have to relate with the people you claim to be ruling and relating with them means you have to use the facilities that they utilize also.
