overnor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo state may have courted another trouble in his state after some of the residents lamented bitterly about the terrible state of the roads in their communities.
As Naij.com reported a case in Igbo Ora, the town renowned for its possession of the largest gathering of twins worldwide, were not so much, the eroded parts of the road did not make the place look any better.
The people living in Olorunsogo, especially the High School road area, stated categorically that their governor has been embarking on meaningless missions since he won the last governorship election.
As noticed, no two vehicles can pass beside each other at a time. Any oncoming vehicle or motorcycle had to wait for the other one so as to avoid a head-on collision as the road had caved in at the midpoint.
The people's grouse was further fueled by the fact that the students of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), who had been on strike for about eight months, were neglected by the governor as he even lambasted those who were protesting against him.
He was quoted to have called himself a 'constituted authority' for whom the students failed to accord due respect.
Speaking with our correspondent in their native Yoruba dialect, one of the men living in the area noted without fear, that their governor may have been good to some people in the state, but his 'blindness' to certain important things will not amount to praise singing.
"All he knows how to say these days is that he's a constituted authority at the expense of communities that are closing up on being destroyed.
"See these places which pictures you have taken now, this is how things will start getting spoilt without anybody paying so much attention to it. What will it take to fix this part of the road that is being washed away now?" the man who pleaded anonymity queried.
Also on the same issue, one of the residents who was rather ruthless in his approach, as he claimed that the contract was given out to people who would build substandard roads even though huge amounts had been earmarked for the projects.
