Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, on Friday, flagged off the reconstruction of the bridge linking Ilahun and Ere Ìjèsà as well as Ibokun/Ilahun/Ere Ijesa – Iwoye ìjèsà, and OtanIle – Esa Odo – Iwoye Ìjèsà Roads in Obokun Local Government area.

This was as the governor assured residents that work would commence on the project immediately, saying his administration remains committed to completing all infrastructural projects started in the State.

The spokesperson to the governor, Olawale Rasheed, in a statement, said Adeleke, during the flag off, took a swipe at the lawmaker representing Obokun/Oriade federal constituency, Mr. Wole Oke, whom he claimed did not facilitate any intervention in his constituency despite being in the House of Representatives for five terms.

The statement quoted Adeleke as saying, “It is painful and heartbreaking that an indigene of this local government, Wole Oke, who was favoured to have been elected into the House of Representatives for five terms, failed to use his office for the benefit of his constituents.

“He was busy using public office for his personal aggrandisement while his counterparts elsewhere are struggling to better the lives of their people.”

The Governor noted that Senator Fadahunsi and Hon. Wole Oke, who are both from the Local Government, decamped because of the party’s stand on performance as a yardstick as opposed to automatic tickets that the duo wanted from the party.
