Gov. Dapo Abiodun visit Imeko-Afon LGA

Last Monday, the governor was in Imeko-Afon to flag off the Local Government Election Campaign Tour. For the crowd, the governor’s presence presented an opportunity to express their appreciation to him for some of the promises he made to them that had been fulfilled. And, like Oliver twist, perhaps, ask for more. But they didn’t even need to ask; as the governor, with the benefit of prescience and self-awareness, made more heart-warming promises that speak to the people’s needs.

Accompanied by members of his cabinet and chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the governor said his administration had executed 52 projects in Imeko-Afon within two years, which further animated the atmosphere. According to the governor, chief among the projects is the construction of Oke Ola Road in Imeko, which he said will ease the hardship being experienced by travellers on the road.

For the governor, apart from campaigning for the party’s candidates in the forthcoming LG elections, it was also an opportunity to assess other impactful projects in the community like the rehabilitation of public schools, rural electrification and primary health centres, among others. He promised, “Before my next visit to the local government, the deplorable condition of the Abeokuta-Olorunda-Imeko Road will be a thing of the past, as we are set to give that major road the attention it deserves.”

While affirming the supremacy of the party in the council, Governor Abiodun urged the people to come out in large numbers to show their supremacy in the forthcoming council elections by ensuring victory for the party’s chairmanship and councillorship candidates.

“We have seen that our party, the All Progressives Congress is the only party here. We could have decided against coming here for this event because we know Imeko-Afon belongs to us, but our coming here has given us the opportunity to see the state of the road here.

“On July 24, two weeks and two days from now, I want you to go out en masse and vote. Even though we know that Imeko-Afon and Yewa belong to us, I want you to come out to vote and let them know through your votes that they truly belong to us. Let us all come out and vote in Yahya Fadipe and Gabriel Ogunyomi,” the governor stated.

The campaign train moved to Yewa North local council where the reception was equally as robust and rousing. The governor reminded the crowd that his administration had completed 76 projects in their domain in the past two years.
