Sir: Humanity must be saddened and to say the least of the good people of Ogun State, for the circus of politics destiny has thrust on them in the past weeks and months.
In the past weeks, the social media was awash with some jaundiced story of how operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) invaded the residence of a sitting governor. Those who planted the story knew that it is fake and to further help them put an end to their delusion, the EFCC has spoken: “Governor Amosun was neither under surveillance nor was any of his residence raided by operatives of the EFCC. Consequently, members of the public are enjoined to disregard the false report.”
It is important to state that the Ogun State government does not need an EFCC rebuttal to put a lie to that allegation, the good people of Ogun State know the truth, they remain Senator Ibikunle Amosun’s pillar of support. In 2011, when he was first given the mandate to govern Ogun State, it was the triumph of truth over lies. That feat was repeated in 2015, an endorsement of his sprawling legacies spread across the three senatorial districts of the state.
You cannot deny the existence of the six lane Ogun standard roads/flyovers, linking NNPC with Iyana-Mortuary at one end and the Brewery-Lafenwa-Itoku-Sapon-Idiaba. Sagamu Benin Express-Oba Erinwo seven kilometres road wears the Amosun signature. Also completed are flyover bridges at Lagos Garage and Mabolufon junction, both in Ijebu-Ode. The road from Illishan connecting Ago-Iwoye is over eighty percent completed.
Ota got a total facelift with six lane road network crisscrossing the entire township, a departure from the once-upon-a-time failed Ilo-Awela/Ota roads. Also very critical to the administration is the ongoing construction of the 32 kilometres Sango-Ijoko-Ojodu-Abiodun six lane Ogun standard road and flyover bridges. Amosun has successfully changed the narratives with the provision of five bridges along that stretch, flying over densely populated and flood prone areas. Imagine the value of linking Sango-Ota-Idiroko road with the Lagos-Ibadan express road at Berger and connecting an international road corridor at Idiroko.
These are the testimonials of the “mission to rebuild Ogun State”.
For those who specialize in concocting baseless lies, thinking they can hoodwink the people and market a blemished product, they have failed because our people are intelligent and politically astute.
