Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State has said he has performed better in terms of road construction than all his predecessors.
In a tweet via his verified Twitter page on Saturday, Abiodun said his administration, in three years and six months, has constructed more roads than the governments of Ibikunle Amosun, Gbenga Daniel and Segun Osoba.
The governor disclosed that 80 major roads including federal ones and others have been constructed, reconstructed and rehabilitated since he came on board in 2019.
Abiodun said with the roads totalling 400km, his administration in the last three and a half years has more kilometres of road done than what his predecessors could lay claim to.
“Over 80 major roads and others (Federal roads inclusive) totalling 400km have been constructed, reconstructed or rehabilitated across the State.
“This administration in three years and six months has done more in terms of kilometres of roads than previous administrations in the State,” he wrote.
Forget Run-off, Conduct Credible Elections As Atiku Will Win At First Ballot – PDP Tells INEC
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to concentrate on conducting a credible election in 2023.
OsunDaily News reports that the INEC commissioner for information, Festus Okoye, had announced that the commission will prepare towards conducting a run-off.
Okoye said the plan for a run-off election (this can happen when there is no clear winner for the first election and when the candidate who has the highest votes fails to meet the conditional requirements on votes spread across states) is in line with the tradition of the commission for all elections.
Reacting in a statement on Saturday, the spokesperson of the PDP campaign council, Kola Ologbondiyan, asked the electoral umpire not to bother about a run-off as the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, will win at the first ballot.
