FACEBOOK POSTS OF FEMI PHILLIP MORGAN CALLS ON OGUN STATE TO RAISE THE BAR IN PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE

 

Governor Dapo Abiodun I will love to call your attention to the suffering of people living on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway axis.

When you were campaigning, you promised major developments for people living in Asese, Magboro, Redeemed, Ibafo, Mowe, Arepo. There is absolutely nothing happening there in terms of development.

Dapo Abiodun For Governor Ogun 2019

was great for you. You have not fufilled any of your promises to the people living there.

A lot of my friends who live in that area are bold to say that the only time they feel government presence is when local government sends in their people to demand for taxes or when some huge hooligans begin to demand for monies from tippers who carry stones, sand for private building developments there (I doubt whether such monies go to the government), and the NURTW's shenanigans.

No good road, no public water, every infrastructure ever built or managed were done by CDAs, Churches, Mosques and NGOs. Even the grading of the roads on a monthly basis is done by the people who live there through a weekly contribution system. Security is managed by the residents as well.

It takes time for anger to brew into a major protest like it is playing out at the #EndSARS protest nationwide, It will take sometime before these people get angry.

, take note o. The youths in those areas don't even have any idea of your government's empowerment programmes. It is a zone where government does not care, at all, yet it receives taxes from the factories, markets, shops and homes in those areas. For God's sake, once rain falls, people drown and die on the roads going to work in some of these areas.

The fact that you gifted an entertainer 5M Naira angers people. You need to see the roads in Ogun State. You need to take a development tour of your state, you need to see the public schools outside Abeokuta. I have seen some of these schools, hell is better than them. Dear governor dapo, Abeokuta is not even the entire Ogun State. Restricting you attempts to make Abeokuta look good is minimalist and dangerous. By the way, mention 5 major interventions you have done even in Abeokuta?

Ogun State despite the constraints should compete with Lagos in ways that will make people migrate from Lagos to Ogun enmasse, bringing their ideas, their businesses to an emerging landscape. The Lagos-Ibadan Expressway axis is a place of great potentials for industry, technology hubs, start-ups, new businesses, tourism, but the governor is sleeping.
