Ogun Senatorial Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chief Olumide Aderinokun has warned that the people of the state not allow themselves to be deceived by the last-minute projects been commissioned by the Governor Dapo Abiodun.
Chief Aderinokun made the statement during his visit at Olambe Community Development Council and Aare Boluwatife Community Development Council (CDC) general meetings in Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State.
The Akinruyiwa of Owu Kingdom lamented about the poor road network in Ifo and lack of government support to communities in the area.
“The state of roads in Ifo Local Government is terrible, it is glaring that the APC people have failed, our roads and buildings have been gathering dust for years, don’t let them deceive you with last-minute projects.
“I can assure you that PDP will make things work better for everyone in this Local Government. Starting with the local autonomy promised by our governorship candidate, Hon. (Dr.) Oladipupo Adebutu and the empowerment programmes I have for our Senatorial District.
“The young and old are tired of the failure called APC and we must be ready to make corrections by voting PDP across all levels on February 25 for a people-oriented government.
The leadership of the CDCs disclosed that they have received no support from the current government for road grading, water provision or transformers and all developmental projects have been facilitated by contributions of residents.
Earlier in the week, Chief Aderinokun and his entourage visited victims of a fire incident in Abeokuta South Local Government Area whose house was burnt to ashes in the early hours of last Monday.
He supported the affected residents and landlord with an immediate relief package of ₦150,000 to take care of himself for the night with his family and assured him of his support in the re-construction of the building.
Chief Aderinokun also monitored the collection of permanent voter’s card at his Ward 8 in Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area during the week and he applauded the INEC officials for the orderliness.
