The National Leader of Accord Party and former governor of Oyo State, Senator Rashidi Ladoja, has said that the Edo governorship election would not have been postponed if the All Progressives Congress (APC) was sure of winning.

Ladoja, who said the Federal Government needs to fulfill the promises made to Nigerians in the spirit of the Ramadan festival, noted that while the government complained of lack of money, it was wasteful in its approach to governance.

Ladoja stated this while speaking with newsmen at his Bodija home shortly after observing the Eid prayer at the University of Ibadan Central Mosque.

While lamenting that billions of naira had been wasted on the shifting of the election, Ladoja said the Federal Government should stop playing games with the lives of Nigerians, adding that the economy would not improve if the leadership continued to waste scarce resources.

On the launch of �'Change Begins With Me"� campaign, Ladoja emphasised that the change should begin with President Muhammadu Buhari, his cabinet while Nigerians would follow suit.

He wondered how the attitude of those who are being owed over six months' salaries will change because the government has asked them to change their attitude.

The former governor, who noted that the diversification being championed by different governments, had to start from gradual transition from artisanal culture to industrial agriculture while he lampooned states which asked civil servants to go and farm for two days.

While stressing that the work of civil servants should not be mixed with that of a committed farmer who has passion for farming, Ladoja asked government to be cre�ative and provide land and inputs for people genuinely interested in farming.

He also carpeted Governor Abiola Ajimobi over the creation of local government development areas and asked the government to be more creative.
