The Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has called on the people of Osun State to reject the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the next governorship election in the state.
Makinde added that what the APC did in Edo and Ondo during the governorship elections in the states would soon be revealed.
Naija News reports the Oyo State Governor made the submission yesterday during the commissioning of the completed dualisation of Roundabout-Testing Ground-Ilesa Garage road, in Osogbo, Osun State.
He added that all is not over in the Edo and Ondo governorship polls, as his party – the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), would challenge the results in court and reclaim its mandate.
Makinde commended Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, ignoring political differences and completing the project started by his predecessors.
“Somebody got distracted after the Edo and Ondo election, he said they are coming for Osun and Oyo states, I urge you to show them pepper.
“I want to assure them (APC) that the game is not yet over in Edo and Ondo, we are challenging the result in court, we are law-abiding people in our party and we believe that whatever they have done will be revealed,” Makinde said.
Speaking during the commissioning, Governor Adeleke said the project was in fulfilment of his promise not to abandon projects inherited from his predecessors.
“Based on the plan of action, our administration has completed several projects across the sectors. In under 100 days, we completed the Osogbo-Ikirun road dualisation with full solar street lights. It has been open to use since then.
“We expanded the inherited reconstruction of Iwo-Osogbo road to include dualisation of a major internal road inside Iwo. We completed several abandoned projects inside Osun State University including the one at Isale Osun which was neglected for almost eleven years.
“Aside from our resolve to complete inherited projects, the road we are about to commission has important significance for the economic well being and safety of our people. Before our assumption of office, we had reports of multiple fatal accidents and traffic gridlock on this road. Many voters actually demanded completion of the road during our electioneering campaign.”
The Governor directed security agencies and road safety authorities to enforce safety codes on the roads, urging the Ministry of Works to consider the possibility of constructing speed breakers where necessary.
