The lawmaker representing Osun Central, Senator Olubiyi Fadeyi, has defended the non-removal of an electricity pole in the middle of one of the roads he constructed as part of his constituency projects.
It would be recalled that residents on Saturday called out the lawmaker over the poorly constructed road at Oduola Street, Oke Okanla, Osogbo.
In a picture posted on Facebook by a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Rasaq Gafar, an electric pole was seen in the middle of the road, with netizens condemning the engineer for going ahead with the construction without removing the electricity pole.
But the lawmaker while addressing the issue, said the relocation of the electricity pole should have been done by the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company.
Fadeyi, in a post on X, wrote, “My attention has been drawn to a viral picture of a road facilitated in my constituency. It’s on record that the last time the road was constructed was in 1988. Since then, no government has ever seen any reason to construct it. Also the relocation of electricity poles
was not in the bill of Quantities and should be done by the IBEDC.”
