In the aftermath of the 2018 Osun governorship election, which saw Mr. Gboyega Oyetola emerge victorious, a significant memorandum outlining governance strategies was submitted but ultimately ignored. The document, titled "Humble Observations, Helpful Tips as Assumption Beckons," was intended as a comprehensive guide for the new administration, focusing on practical and people-centred approaches to governance.

The memo was crafted with the intention of providing constructive insights and strategies aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of Oyetola's administration. It encapsulated various observations and recommendations that were deemed essential for addressing the needs of the populace and ensuring a responsive government.

Despite the thoughtful nature of the proposal, it appears that the document did not receive the attention it warranted from the Osun APC leadership. This oversight raises questions about the party's commitment to implementing strategies that could have bolstered their governance and improved public satisfaction.

The failure to act on such a detailed plan may be reflective of broader issues within the party, particularly regarding their approach to governance and engagement with constituents. As the political landscape continues to evolve, the implications of neglecting such proposals could contribute to ongoing challenges for the APC in Osun.

The lack of a strategic framework, as suggested in the memo, might explain some of the difficulties faced by the party in maintaining public support and effectively managing the state's affairs. The Osun APC's trajectory since the election underscores the importance of not only winning elections but also ensuring that governance is aligned with the expectations and needs of the citizens.

As the party moves forward, it may need to reconsider its strategies and be more receptive to constructive feedback and proposals from within its ranks, to avoid repeating past mistakes and to foster a more robust governance model that resonates with the electorate.
