Akeredolu: If we have good roads, our economy will skyrocket

Rotimi Akeredolu, governor of Ondo state, says with good roads, the economy of the state will receive a boost.

Speaking when his campaign team visited Adebori Adeleye, Olubaka of Oka, on Tuesday, the governor said he knows the importance of road to the people.

“If we have good roads, our economy will skyrocket. Roads are imperative, and We will continue to cater for our farmers,” he said.

The governor appealed to the monarchs to support his reelection bid.

Akeredolu said Akoko, Ose and Owo maintain a unique relationship, expressing optimism that the monarchs will not let him down.

Responding, the traditional rulers from Akoko south west local government area of the state assured him of their support for another four years.

Reeling out the projects of Akeredolu led government, Adeleye said the bridge linking Ikun and Oba community was revamped after it became a death trap for commuters plying the environs.

He said Akeredolu worked tooth and nail to ensure that the state-owned tertiary institution in the local government, Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba (AAUA), remains a 21st century university, noting that erstwhile administration kept Osustech at arm’s length.

His words: “The Governor is not an alien here in our town, he doesn’t promise what he won’t fulfill. In Akoko, he constructed Owo to Akoko road, he repaired the bridge at Ikun. The Governor also awarded the Ikun to Idoani road, he reconstructed Ayegunle to Oke-oka road.

“He revamped moribund schools, he also supported the Akoko farmers, he also resolved the crisis in the forest reserve. We monarchs are in your support.”
