I’ll dualise Akungba road, construct overhead bridge —Aiyedatiwa
By Dayo Johnson
DISTURBED by the incessant accidents along the major road at Akungba Akoko in Akoko South West Local Government Area of Ondo State, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa has promised to dualise the road and construct an overhead bridge on it for pedestrians.
Aiyedatiwa made the promise during an interaction with market women and youths at Ikare Akoko in Akoko North East LGA.
Responding to the concerns expressed by the women and youths over the condition of the dreaded road, the governor said his administration has no plan to remove the barricades on the road, and had in the last few months considered various options before settling for dualisation and construction of an overhead bridge.
According to him, the dualisation of the road will start from Ikare Akoko and run through the main gate of the Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko.
The Governor and the Deputy Governor, Dr Olayide Adelami, led chieftains of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to the flag off the Northern senatorial district leg of the party’s governorship campaign at Ikare Akoko.
Addressing the crowd, Aiyedatiwa called on the people to rally behind the APC in the November 16 governorship election, emphasizing that the future of Ondo State depends on the continuity of the party’s development agenda.
The governor expressed his gratitude to the people for their overwhelming support, saying: “The love and support you have shown me and our great party stem from the progress you have witnessed.
You see the difference, and you want that progress to continue.
“In every sector of our society, the government has intervened. We owe no salaries to our workers; in fact, salaries are paid before or on the 25th of every month.
“We are recruiting more teachers for both primary and secondary schools because we understand that our children are the leaders of tomorrow, and they deserve a solid education.”
Aiyedatiwa said that his administration has made efforts in security, health, agriculture and infrastructure, and constructing and renovating schools.
“On November 16, I urge everyone gathered here and those who are not present to convert your support into votes for the APC to ensure the continuation of our significant progress in the state,” he pleaded.
Also, the Deputy Governor, Dr. Olayide Adelami, who is also Aiyedatiwa’s running mate, stressed the importance of continuity in governance, saying: “Our state has witnessed remarkable development under Governor Aiyedatiwa’s leadership. But we must not stop here, we need to push forward for greater accomplishments. The coming election is not just about electing a governor, it’s about safeguarding our future and the progress we have made”
The Ondo State APC Chairman, Ade Adetimehin, congratulated the people of Akoko for their support, and said: “You have made the right choice by standing with Governor Aiyedatiwa. Under this current government, Aiyedatiwa has made developmental infrastructure a top priority, and this is a government that cares about the people.”
Abiola Makinde, the House of Representatives member for Ondo East/West federal constituency and the campaign’s Director-General, hailed Governor Aiyedatiwa as a proven and reliable leader who is giving premium priority to polices and programmes that will enhance the development of the state.
