"We are deeply worried over the evident shabby treatment the government of Ogun State has been giving to us since the last administration of Senator Ibikunle Amosun. For eight years of Amosun's administration, regular preponderance of fictitious media sponsored claims of invisible projects and achievements in our local government rented the air." the group posited.
"In this such an imbalance representation in the State Executive Council, how would our interest be protected when issues that affect the State are being discussed? We are very sure that government or Governor would not say that wants of capable and competent hands is our problem." the group queried.
"For instance, the Abeokuta-Ayetoro-Imeko road, which is the main artery to our local government and Imeko-Oke-Agbede-Moriwi-Iwoye Road are major link roads that deserve urgent Government attention and priority. We understand these are federal roads as they link the neighbouring country of Republic of Benin".
The group added that towns and villages in two wards of the local government i.e Oke Agbede/Moriwi/Matale and Iwoye/Jabata have been completely cut off from the rest in the local government as the people now access their various towns and villages through Ilara and Republic of Benin i.e Ilara(Nigeria)-Ilikimu-Dinrin-Akpotopku(Benin Republic)-Jabata-Iwoye and then Oke Agbede, adding that bad road network gives flips to insecurity in their land ,subjecting their people to fear of survival.It also called for the immediate correction of the obvious imbalance in appointment and evident marginalization of Imeko/Afon in the State Executive Council and the urgent declaration of State of emergency on Abeokuta-Ayetoro-Imeko and Imeko-Oke-Agbede-Moriwi-Iwoye Roads to address the untold hardship and incessant insecurity that have bedeviled the people of the area.
