The Ondo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has attacked Governor Rotimi Akeredolu for attending the inauguration of a flyover in Osogbo, Osun State.

Governor Akeredolu had reportedly commissioned the iconic Flyover at Olaiya Intersection, Osogbo, the Osun state capital.

PDP in a statement by the state Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Mr Kennedy Peretei, said Akeredolu’s action is shameful, adding that the state has no flyover.

The statement was titled ‘Akeredolu’s misrule in Ondo State: Shamelessly inaugurates flyover in Osogbo when there is none in Akure.’

The statement read, “Ondo State Governor, Mr Rotimi Akeredolu, SAN, was in Osogbo, the Osun State capital on the invitation of the outgoing Governor, Gboyega Oyetola to inaugurate a flyover yesterday. (Thursday)

“Perhaps, the event would not have needed any mention, but for the irony and shamelessness associated with it. Even if Akeredolu was invited to the ceremony, he should have declined, if only to save himself from embarrassment.

“It is common knowledge that Akure is the only state capital in the South-West without a single flyover. Osogbo has a population of 750,000 (2022) while Akure has 717,000 (2022).

“Osun State does not collect as much money as Ondo State from the federation account monthly. Statistics of average monthly allocation to states in 2022 showed that Osun State is Number 36 with N1.506bn and Ondo State is Number 13 with an average of N4.412bn monthly.

PDP noted that it was only a shameless man who celebrates the sumptuousness of the meals from a neighbour’s wife, while his wife is unable to prepare meals for him at home.

In a switch reaction, Akeredolu in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Richard Olatunde, said the main opposition PDP was “diving into self-ridicule, and had no respect for human lives”.

The statement was titled, ‘Ondo PDP diving into self-ridicule, has no respect for human lives Ondo PDP diving into self-ridicule, has no respect for human lives.”

Richard added that flyovers are not constructed for decoration or fancy but constructed as careful interventions to forestall unnecessary road mishaps.

He said Akeredolu moved and constructed a flyover, the very first in the state, to save lives and promote economic activities in Ore, which is the economic hub of the state.

“Since Government responsibilities are huge with limited resources, the need to plan and prioritize projects has become expedient.

“It has become crystal clear that the PDP in Ondo State has no iota of respect for human lives.

“The opposition party is prepared, out of desperation, to play politics with the lives of the people and demean any effort of the present administration in the state to save lives.”

“For clarity and education of the PDP, flyovers are not constructed for decoration or fancy. They are constructed as careful interventions to forestall unnecessary road mishaps. Since government responsibilities are huge with limited resources, the need to plan and prioritize projects has become expedient.

“For several years, the intersection at Ore was a nightmare, not only to the people of Ondo State but other road users plying the Lagos/Benin Expressway. Sadly, there were frequent carnages at that spot in Ore. Lives were lost. Precious times were wasted due to gridlocks.

“The PDP should learn how to have a sense of shame and get their facts and figures right before rushing to issue statements that indict them. The people of the state have seen good governance under the Akeredolu administration unlike the cosmetic projects glorified with needless showmanship under the PDP government.”
