A socio political organisation in Oyo State, the Ajumose Coalition Movement, (ACM) has lauded the Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, for the award of the contract for the construction of Eleyele-Eruwa roads.
The road after completion would cover three local governments- Ibadan Northwest,Ido and Ibarapa East and by extension the entire Ibarapa land.
The group, in a statement issued in Ibadan on Wednesday by its coordinator, Dr Wasiu Olatubosun said the move proved that Sen. Ajimobi led administration is a responsive and responsible one .
Olatunbosun said:”It would be recalled that the roads had been rehabilitated twice by the two administrations before Ajimobi but none considered it proper to dualise the roads. Even the one constructed could best be described as the best of bad job. People living in the area started noticing the state of disrepair of those roads few weeks after commissioning.”
The ACM coordinator therefore called on the people in the affected areas to cooperate with the state government as it tries to bring succour to the people despite the economic recession in the country.
While speaking on behalf of 168 groups and associations that make the ACM, Olatunbosun appreciated the people of the state for showing understanding during these hard times and called for more support for the Ajimobi-led administration through prayers and civic responsibilities including payment of taxes.
The ACM also called on well meaning Nigerians to continue to pray for Nigeria and President Muhammadu Buhari because “only prayers can bring the country out of present economic recession. Moreso as the president needed sound health to make him succeed”
“Nigerians should continue to pray for President Buhari for him to return to the country as soon as possible”, the group said.
