Governor Ademola Adeleke, has accused the opposition All Progressives Congress of deliberately withholding local government allocation to forestall the completion of ongoing projects in the state.
He made the accusation on Wednesday while inspecting the Lagere Flyover bridge and other projects in Ile-Ife.
According to a statement by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, Adeleke justified his administration’s upgrading of infrastructure at Ile-Ife and other major towns of the state.
He said, “Almost N100 billion of Osun fund is unjustly seized in a bid to stop the completion of Ile Ife flyover, Ilesa township dualisation, Iwo township road dualisation, Ila Orangun township road dualisation, reconstruction of Iwo-Osogbo road, and the Lameco flyover bridge, among others.
“Our royal fathers and good people of Osun, we will not allow the evil plan of the opposition to come to reality. Our government will complete all ongoing major projects. We will not succumb to dark forces; hell bent on blocking Osun development. On behalf of the Osun people, we will continue to pursue the rule of law to secure our rights within the Federation.”
Adeleke urged the contractor handling the projects to be up and doing, warning that he would not hesitate to terminate the contract of any non-performing contractor.
