WHO REALLY IS TO BE HONOURED AS HAVEN ACHIEVED A PROJECT, FOR EXAMPLE, A FARMING PROJECT?

Who really is to be honoured as haven achieved a project, for example, a farming project?
Do we honour the farmer who cleared the bush, did the ridges and planted the yam seedlings or, the farmer who came after to water the seedlings and harvested the tubers of yam to feed the community.I guess both set of farmers deserve to be honored. With the recognition and honouring of Dapo Abiodun, the current governor of Ogun state, on account of delivering the Ogun Cargo Airport by president Muhammadu Buhari, a great disservice is done to the efforts of Gbenga Daniel, the governor who conceived the idea, cleared the land, did the drawings and did other documentation required for having an airport.Both deserved to be so-honoured, assuming there is need for recognition. Situation as this is what makes departing governors rush to commission unfinished projects, lest their efforts go unrecognized after they may have climbed down from office. The least anyone could have done was to accord due recognition to both governors.I hope some people are not desperate to erase the efforts of OGD and his economic team from their legacies in Ogun state.But history does not suffer select amnesia
