A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Alhaji Shuaib Oyedokun, has expressed dissatisfaction over the lack of government impact in Inisa community in Odo-Otin local government of Osun State.
Oyedokun, who is an indigene of Inisa, said most of the infrastructure in the town was financed through contributions by the community, calling on both the federal and state governments to come to the town’s aid.
The former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party stated this on Saturday during the 34th Inisa Day celebration.
Oyedokun said even though Inisa town is developing, the community has not witnessed the impact of the state and federal government in terms of physical development.
Oyedokun said: “This community is not only growing but developing. We’ve not been seeing the impact of the state and federal government in terms of development in this place, but we have that spirit of togetherness, and we’ve been doing things by ourselves.
“In Osun State, you will see that this Local Government is the only one that has not been divided into two like many others. We have 15 wards here with a lot of people.
“All the secondary schools and health centres we have in this community are all through communal efforts. Our roads are not good, but we hope that with the local government Autonomy, this council will be able to take care of rural roads. We don’t have any impact on the government here.”
The APC chieftain appealed to both the federal and state governments to support the development of the community.
“Particularly, we want tertiary institutions in Inisa. We are therefore seeking government support at the federal and state levels to complement what we are doing. We need federal impact in this place,” Oyedokun added.
