		If Oyinlola cannot tar roads in Lagos, the richest state in the country when the exchange rate was $1 = N81, what make him think he can construct roads in Osun state now that the exchange rate is N130.

		It was, therefore, decided that the incumbent Governor Oyinlola should be the party's flagbearer in 2007.
		Anybody struggling for the position with him will be racing against peace and Oyinlola on the other hand will risk abandoning the work he is doing and start politicking to secure his seat.

		Workers’ leaders should note that notwithstanding its initial good relations with them, put under the same circumstance and condition, the present government would likely act the same way its predecessor did.
		With the PDP’s neo-liberal policies of privatisation and commercialisation of every sector of the economy, it is just a matter of time before Oyinlola government in the state starts to attack all the gains and victories won by the workers.
		Only through a workers and poor peasants’ government, with the commanding sectors of the economy nationalised under the democratic control and management of the workers themselves can permanent decent living and working conditions be guaranteed and an end be put to victimisation of labour activists.
