AWOKOYA, IGBEBA ROAD PROJECTS ARE STRICTLY GOVERNOR DAPO ABIODUN PROJECTS – AKINMADE
… Condemns Senator Gbenga Daniel’s supporters for ascribing ongoing works on road to Talbort Junction to Yidi lane flood control works in Ijebu- Ode to their principal
The Ogun State Government has bemoaned supporters of former Governor Gbenga Daniel for ascribing the road construction at Awokoya and Igbeba area of Ijebu-Ode to the former Governor.
Ogun State Government expressed worry that the supporters who displayed a high degree of ignorance and also misinformed the public have not only insulted the sensibility of the people but also showed they don’t follow events in the state.
According to a post made public by the Special Adviser to Governor Dapo Abiodun on Information, Mr. Kayode Akinmade the supporters should have read properly the billboards on the project sites for clearer and first-hand information.
Akinmade emphasized that the former Governor Daniel has nothing to do with the road projects as they are strictly being executed by Prince Dapo Abiodun-led administration.

OGD’s aides, stop misleading the public on Awokoya and Igbeba Road
Either due to deliberate misinformation or ignorance, aides of Senator Gbenga Daniel have been ascribing the ongoing works on the Awokoya road and the Igbeba Road to Talbort Road Junction to Yidi lane flood control works in Ijebu Ode to their principal.
One screaming headline on Facebook read: “Sen Gbenga Daniel Showcasing Development in Ijebu-Ode: The Transformation of Key Roads.” Hear the writer: “His Excellency, The Senator Otunba Gbenga Daniel FNSE, FAEng has once again reinforced his reputation as a dedicated public servant committed to infrastructural development in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State.
Recent initiatives highlight the ongoing upgrades to critical roads in the area, specifically the Eid Praying Ground – Oladehinde Joseph Road, and LUBA Road leading to the Ogbogbo Junction.”
The writer wasn’t yet done: “The Eid Praying Ground – Oladehinde Joseph Road has been identified as a vital thoroughfare that supports daily commuting and seasonal festivities, especially during the Eid celebrations.
Similarly, the LUBA Road to Ogbogbo Junction is set to benefit from OGD’s push for better infrastructure.”
This is beyond embarrassing: both ongoing construction works are state projects being undertaken by Governor Dapo Abiodun.
If the writer had taken the pain to read the project board conspicuously placed on the site, he would have realised that the Awokoya Road project is a sate contract awarded to Fort Hermon.
He would also have noticed that the “Igbeba Road- to -Talbort Road Junction to Yidi lane and flood control” project was awarded to the same contractor by the Ogun State Government, and is to be executed within a six-month timeframe.
OGD has absolutely nothing to do with the projects. In this era of fake news where unscrupulous writers easily breed conflict, clarifications such as this are crucial to maintaining public sanity.
It surely can’t be the case that Senator Daniel is so bereft of projects to attach to his name that he has to appropriate state roads and ascribe them to his person.
