Dayo Ogungbenro, chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has said that the immediate past administration in Oyo State, didn’t patch a road in Okeogun area, where he hails from, during its 8 years reign.
He made this known in an interview with Nigerian Tribune recently.
OYOINSIGHT.COM recalls that late former governor Abiola Ajimobi was at the helms of affairs within that time.
This newspaper also understands that the Ajimobi administration constructed the 7 kilometer Iseyin township road.
Asked what the PDP administration can do to prevent defeat from the opposition APC in the 2023 election, Ogungbenro, who is from Otu, headquarters of Itesiwaju local government, explained that “Whatever the APC is doing now is a plus to the PDP. Is their so-called re-grouping how to re-group? APC ruled this state for eight years. I am from the Oke-Ogun axis of the state and they failed to patch road there. Within two years, the governor did 65kilometres Moniya-Iseyin road. When our last governor went to Saki and the people asked to be saved from the dust they constantly face. The last governor asked that wives be tasked to wet the roads every morning to cushion the dust. The Saki Township Road is now tarred. The Iseyin to Oyo road is already flagged off. The governor asked me to inspect the road from Iseyin to Oyo and I saw that the road has been bulldozed and the contractor promised that by December 25, he must have done the asphaltic tarring of at least eight kilometers of the road. There is also the contract for Saki to Igboho road. Do we talk about payment of salaries as and when due. He even paid on the 16th of the month; have we ever experienced this in the state? Even if the so-called big men feel they are not enjoying the government, the masses are enjoying the government. What is on ground is definitely enough for my governor to have an easy ride come 2023, and we will continue working.”
