“In America, cars don't get dirty or stuck in ditches; we have money in Ogun State, but bad roads and leaders are making us suffer.”Mr Abiodun, during an inspection of the Denro-Isashi-Akute road on Monday, claimed that reconstructing roads across the state’s 20 Local Government Areas within eight years is unachievable.He further stated that each local government benefited from at least one or two road projects during his five-year tenure.
It’s essential to acknowledge that news production incurs expenses, and we take pride in never placing our stories behind a prohibitive paywall.He said: “Earthly mothers, pray for my car to get out of this ditch. Dapo Abiodun, please help us fix our roads or step aside for someone who will. Let someone willing to. I heard that former Senator for Ogun West, Solomon Adeola, aka Yayi, said he wants to fix the roads, but you told him not to because you’re in power.
The ‘Zazuu Zeh’ crooner lamented, “How will I drive my Emi Lokan car on these bad roads? I’ve bought a luxury car , and should people have to help me push it when it arrives? If one rich man doesn’t suffer, others will not know. I’m suffering as a rich man because of the bad roads in Ogun State.” At Premium Times, we firmly believe in the importance of high-quality journalism.
