The candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the August 15 gubernatorial election in Osun State, Mr Bola Oyebamiji, has queried Governor Ademola Adeleke’s administration award of a N99.5 billion Ede Airport project to a firm of interior decorators, with no known history of civil engineering projects.
In a Democracy Day statement signed by Engr. Oluremi Omowaiye, Head of Media and Publicity, Osun APC Governorship Campaign Council, Oyebamiji questioned the rationale behind the award and argued that projects of such magnitude should be executed by firms with demonstrable expertise and proven records in the delivery of critical infrastructure.
He further alleged that the current administration entrusted multi-billion-naira road projects to fertiliser distribution suppliers, cyber café operators and other unqualified cronies, stating that the people of Osun deserve quality infrastructure built by competent hands.
The APC governorship candidate also alleged that Adeleke’s administration sacked 1500 teachers and over 500 health workers employed by former governor Gboyega Oyetola, and has not deemed it fit to recruit for their replacement in over 40 months.
He claimed that the situation has left Osun with the lowest number of teachers in the Southwest region and rated the state as the 2nd worst state with the number of abandoned health centres in the country.
He added that despite receiving close to N1 trillion in revenue since assuming office, the Adeleke administration has failed to show that the welfare of the people remains its foremost priority.
