Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has accused the immediate past administration in Oyo State over failure to execute some road projects due diversion of the money meant for them for campaigns. .

He made the accusation during the flagging off the reconstruction of the 65-kilometre Moniya-Ijaye-Iseyin Road.

Makinde who advised the leadership of All Progressives Congress, APC, to wait for 2023 when another election would be held to challenge him said it was lack of good performance that made the people to reject the party in last election.

A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Taiwo Adisa, quoted Makinde as saying that although the previous administration awarded the contract for the rehabilitation of the road, the job was not done.

He added: “We have told them to meet us in 2023,” Governor Makinde said, adding: “Though they got money, they did nothing. They spent the money on elections but did you vote for them? If they come to ask for your votes, will you vote for them?”

The governor said he was determined to execute the Road contract as a way of fulfilling his campaign promise.

He said: “I appreciate you for giving us the opportunity to serve you. During our campaign from here (Moniya) to Oke-Ogun, I promised that I will reconstruct the road if I become the Governor and, today, I am happy that it is the same project we are flagging off”.

The governor reiterated  the resolve of his administration  to construct infrastructure that will target the economy.

 According to him, the road which is quite close to ongoing Dry Port project at Olorisaoko, when completed will aid the movement of agricultural produces and mineral resources from Oke-Ogun area to the Dry Port for onward exporting.
