My govt won’t abandon Aregbesola’s beneficial projects

The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the August 9 Osun State governorship election, Senator Iyiola Omisore has pledged not to abandon any important project initiated by the Governor Rauf Aregbesola’s administration, if elected governor.

Omisore, who made this known in Osogbo, on Friday, through the Director General of his campaign organisation, Mr. Lere Oyewumi, noted that he would complete only projects that his government considers beneficial to the people of the state.

He berated Aregbesola for allegedly embarking on the construction of Federal Government roads in the state without going through the normal process, adding that the Federal Government was not duly consulted and would not pay for the ongoing projects.

Briefing journalists, Oyewumi said, “On roads and other infrastructural facilities, we have seen that we are going to inherit even more than we bargained for, but we have promised the people of Osun State that we are not the type of government that will abandon any project because they were initiated by somebody else, no, the modalities of doing them may be different. How do we stop Gbongan-Sekona road, or how do we stop the roads passing through Osogbo-Ikirun-Esa Odo, the design of this was even done by Omisore himself when he was in the National Assembly,” he said.

“By the grace of God, all this roads will be completed when Omisore becomes the governor. This people (APC) have no plan for governance, there is poverty in the state, its very unfortunate that we are experiencing this crisis and people are made to suffer for it. We are as a party, we have approached the federal government, we have distributed forms from NEMA and we are going to compensate the people whose properties were destroyed during the road construction in Osogbo.”
