N159 Billion Infra Plan – Osun APC is Ashamed of its Sordid Records – Spokesperson

N159 Billion Infra Plan – Osun APC is Ashamed of its Sordid Records – Spokesperson

OSOGBO – 03/04/2025 -osunstate.gov.ng

The recent criticism of Governor Adeleke’s infra agenda is a strong sign that the opposition is ashamed of its failure to bridge Osun infra deficit while in office, as well as its hypocritical blindness to delivery of democratic dividends by the current administration.

Spokesperson to Governor Adeleke, Mallam Olawale Rasheed made the assertion in response to the statement from the All Progressive Congress in which the opposition disputed the recently unveiled N159 billion infrastructure plan of the state government as unworkable.

The Spokesperson while faulting the allegations from the opposition said the first phase of the infrastructure plan is between 70 to 80 percent completed across the sectors and that the second phase of N159 billion is achievable as a product of aspirations of communities listed in the various projects.

“It is only haters of the people that will deny the huge Infra development ongoing across various parts of the state. Within the state capital alone, work has never stopped on Oke Fia and Lameco flyovers as can be attested to by the public. In fact, the phase of work is accelerating.

“The flyover at Ile Ife is progressing. The video and picture evidence are everywhere. The Governor just inspected the Ilesa dualisation with contractors working day and night to deliver. The Oke Gada bridge is almost 90 percent completed while the dualisation of Old Garage-Oke Fia-Lameco road is completed.

“The Ilesa Garage to Stadium roundabout is completed and commissioned while the Akoda-Oke gada dualisation is equally fully done. 200 Health centers were upgraded; over 100 schools were rehabilitated ; and about 150 kilometers of local and urban center roads were completed.

“The above shows that the first phase of the infrastructure plan announced in 2023 is being faithfully executed. The Abere flyover was put on hold because the community selected a preferred road project as a replacement, ditto for Ikirun Junction flyover where the community opted for extension of the road dualisation from Ikirun Junction to Kwara state border.

“Governor Adeleke as a pro-people leader has remained faithful to all his pledges as widely acknowledged by local and national observers. What the APC failed to achieve in four years, Governor Adeleke has delivered in two years.

“Experts actually noted that Governor Adeleke has reduced the Osun Infra deficit by more than 45 percent from about 90 percent inherited from the previous government in 2022. APC administration bequeathed huge Infra challenges on the state as at the time it was voted out of office.

“To further bridge the Infra deficit to attract investment and boost business operations, Governor Adeleke unveiled the second phase with total cost of N159 billion. The selected projects spread across infrastructure, education, health among others.

“As the first phase was successfully implemented, Governor Adeleke has restated his commitment to completing all the new projects. The Governor has a track record of being a talk and do leader”, the Spokesperson affirmed.
