The Director for Public Communication, New-Media and Tertiary institutions, Engr Akeem Olatunji, has described his sudden turn around and support for the House of Representatives’ member representing Oluyole federal constituency, Hon Olusumbo Olugbemi, as a must and necessity which he has to do if truly he wants the progress and development of Oluyole local government.
OYO INSIGHT recalled how Olatunji had attempted to fly the African Democratic Congress, ADC, flag before Olugbemi got it.
According to Olatunji, the 6 lanes road linking Olomi, Aiyegun, Olode and Latunde all in Oluyole local government in Ibadan to Ijebu-Igbo was facilitated by Olugbemi with assistance from Sen Monsurat Sunmonu within three and half years of the first four-year tenure.
“Representatives of Oluyole at the National Assembly in the past exchanged such an opportunity for personal benefits and instead embarked on mushroom peojects that add no values to the economic well being of the people of Oluyole federal constituency.
“Olomi-Olojuoro-Ijebu’gbo road was the first intercity road linking Ibadan to other towns and has been neglected for more than four decades until Hon Olusumbo Olugbemi used all connection within his reach to attract the multi billion Naira project to Oluyole.
“The good people of Oluyole can’t afford to start all over again as benefits attached to the new road project are enormous starting from opening up of our hitherto rural communities to unprecedented development, boost in agriculture practice and employment opportunities for our teeming unemployed youths as well as industrialization prospects.
“A new entrant will have to start all over again and such a big project could be abandon as in the case of Youth Center facilitated by Hon Depo Oyedokun at Onila in Ward 3 of Oluyole local government.
“The only shortcoming of Hon Olusumbo Olugbemi representing Oluyole federal constituency under the platform of ADC is lack of publicity for his achievements because he believe in those good works speaking for themselves but it doesn’t work that way in Nigeria and most especially in Oluyole federal constituency,” Olatunji added.
Olatunji therefore enjoined the good people of Oluyole to ensure that the task of returning Hon Olusumbo Olugbemi for second term is a collective responsibility to open a new chapter of development in history of Oluyole!!!
