USA Africa Dialogue Series - STAR INFO: World Summit of Mayors in Osun State in Jeopardy - with Host Oyinlola GONE!

 

Dear All:

 

This is the first hard-earned money of Osun State that new Governor Rauf Aregbesola should save.

 

Let the visitors come if they wish - but let them spend their money on us, not ours on them!  It might be an opportunity to lecture them on the democracy sweeping parts of Nigeria, and how these Black Mayors should contribute positively to it.

 

And there you have it.

What a providential intervention in Osun state. Guess what?  Oyinlola already arranged to sponsor about 15 members of the "congress of black American mayors" to Nigeria next month at the expense of the state government. Members of this congress partner with Oyinlola and few other governors in Nigeria in impoverishing our citizens. One of the members of this congress in Maryland, USA, was recently arrested by the FBI for some back room deals with the wife caught with over $87,000 hidden in her bra, and that is after flushing a check of $100, 000 in the toilet during the arrest. I hope Aregbesola will take note of this.

The National Conference of Black Mayors and the World Conference of Mayors is pleased to co-convene the 2010 World Summit of Mayors International Conference in the Republic of Nigeria.  His Excellency Governor Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola and the people of Osun State will host the conference December 2-8, 2010.

This year's theme, "Global Engagement of Local Leadership for Universal Progress," is particularly critical as communities across the world face escalating challenges to progress. The primary focus of the conference will be restoring, strengthening, and uplifting working relationships and collaborations among the various participating leaders. Through the seven areas of focus which are Trust, Training, Trade, Treasury, Twin Cities, Technology and Tourism.

Conference sessions will provide an opportunity to enhance the individual capacities of local governments to discuss and develop strategies to solve universal problems of municipalities.  As many countries still face the challenges of building and strengthening a viable local government system out of decades of centralized organs of government, the World Summit of Mayors will feature various country reports that can illustrate the instrumental role of local government leaders in addressing the issues, needs and concerns of the people and communities.

The conference will gather over 250 local government leaders throughout Africa and the African Diaspora.  Delegations will represent the full spectrum of the African Diaspora, with a focus on African-American, Afro-Caribbean, Afro-Latino, Afro-European and Afro-Asian. The key outcome determined from the conference will be to forge sustainable public-private partnerships and establish multinational local government collaborations and areas of cooperation that may impact the global landscape of the development across the Diaspora.
