Flooding: Gov Oyetola is a disaster – Osun PDP

By Musa Baba Adamu

The Osun State chapter of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration led by Adegboyega Oyetola, is fast turning out to be a big disaster and an obscene embarrassment to the state.
The party also stated that it was time for the Governor to throw in the towel and tender his resignation for his lack of proactive acumen and capacity to manage the state, instead of compounding the woes foisted on it in recent years.
In a press release signed by Ayodeji Areola, the state Publicity Secretary of the party, the PDP noted with concern the increasing deterioration of the state’s public infrastructures and notable assets, latest of which is the collapse of the perimeter fence of Government House at Okefia GRA, Osogbo, the state capital.
The party lamented that the disruption of economic activities of residents by government officials, who have blocked the road leading to the Government House, in an attempt to shield the ugly scene from public glare, is very disturbing.
“This to u as, is all time low in a compact state like Osun. As things are, our party felt ashamed as many portions of township roads in Osogbo, the usual poster center of performance of this clueless administration were heavily submerged in heavy flooding yesterday night, just after a 30-minute rainfall.
“This as we speak, has led to massive loss of means of livelihood of many residents worth several millions of Naira in the state, including a reported loss of life at Awosuru Area of the state capital.
“Many residents around Oke-Ayepe, Rasco, Dada Estate, NITEL, Okefia and several other areas of the state capital were agonizingly trapped in the preventable flooding, such that many had to abandon their efforts to access their individual homes out of frustration.
“This certainly is not a good deal for our people. It is certainly the lowest point in the history of our state,” the release said.
