The call made by some individuals that Osun State Government should close down a composite supermarket known as Justrite in Osogbo, the capital of Osun State has been described as Illogical and outright display of envy by those championing it.
A social commentator and political analyst, Comrade Tosin Ayegbusi made this known in a chat with AMILOADED on Saturday.
Ayegbusi noted that the import of the individuals’ argument on the social media clearly indicated covert interest of various purpose .
The analyst argued that the comparison of well organised and professionally coordinated supermarket like Justrite with open business environments like Abe Igi Anu and others exposed the ignorance and paucity of logic in proponents of the agitation.
Ayegbusi said the political colouration added to the situation, by accusing Governor Gboyega Oyetola of ‘harbouring ‘ Justrite is not only cheap in content but of lesser critical thinking.
According to him, “to say that an index case of COVID-19 in Osun was at Justrite without any form of evidence is a reflection of weak mind of high docility .
“No sane person tell such degree of lies in this critical period of our National life. Going by the clarification provided by the government on the index case and about his movement from Lagos straight to his hotel exposed that character as pathological liar of unimaginable degree.
“Such individual should be cautioned by security agents not to cause panic and unnecessary tension through misinformation,” Ayegbusi averred.
He however lauded the management of Justrite for putting in place profound crowd management mechanism as well as quality hygiene control method .
Ayegbusi opined that the need to keep the supermarket open in the first instance was predicated on the availability of affordable pharmaceutical products, which has made medical care accessible to people of different social status and economic condition .
“Majority of us are aware that Justrite is fighting serious battle with dubious business Shylocks in Osogbo, who have been exploiting poor residents in the past, and became jittery and uncomfortable with the advent of the masses -oriented supermarket, that have come to liberate the downtrodden from the shackles of these economic marauders.
“Suffice it to say that there is no any other business environments in Osun where it is easy to control crowd like it is being done at the Justrite , including level of consciousness for hygiene .
” I want to submit by saying that supermarkets all over the world are always open for business whenever there is turmoil , even in Lagos, there has been a standing order by the Commissioner of Police to allow supermarkets to operate , for the sole purpose of taking care of their daily needs,” Ayegbusi stated.
