The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has accused Governor Ademola Adeleke of concentrating developmental projects in his hometown, Ede.
Addressing journalists in Osogbo, the APC, through its Director of Media and Information, Kola Olabisi, described the Adeleke administration as “incorrigible and selfish without any consideration for the even development of all the towns making up the state”.
The party alleged that since assuming office, Governor Adeleke had concentrated significant projects in Ede.
“Ede is like a construction site as all four entrances leading to the ancient town have either been dualised or are undergoing dualisation at a fast rate as workers are working there day and night,” the Osun APC alleged.
According to the APC, while several inner roads in Ede had been tarred, “no meaningful developmental project is noticeable in other towns and villages in Osun State under the administration of Governor Adeleke”.
The party further questioned the role of the State House of Assembly, asking why lawmakers had allegedly remained silent.
“What would be the excuse of the pliable Osun State lawmakers when they are confronted by their constituents,” the statement queried.
But reacting, the spokesperson to Osun State Governor, Olawale Rasheed, said only a failed party would deny widespread infrastructure development across major towns in the state.
According to him, residents of several towns and villages have continued to commend the governor for what he called his “sense of equity and fairness” in the design and execution of integrated infrastructure projects.
Rasheed said the opposition’s criticism stemmed from discomfort over the growing public approval of the administration’s projects.
He said, “Only a failed party like the Osun State APC will deny infrastructure growth at Ilesa, Ile Ife, Osogbo, Iwo, Ikirun, Ila and other major areas of Osun State.
“The APC is in political depression and embarrassment over passionate accolades for the governor from several towns and villages over his commendable sense of equity and fairness in the design and implementation of integrated infrastructure projects across the state.”
