The Speaker of Oyo State House of Assembly, Hon Adebo Ogundoyin has made his stance known that the people of Ibarapa geo-political zone wholeheartedly reject the All Progressives Congress-led administration in the state.
Recall the governoship and state House of Assembly elections which was initially slated for March 11 have been rescheduled by the Independent National Electoral Commission to hold on March 18.
Ogundoyin, who currently represents Ibarapa East state constituency, made this disclosure on Saturday, saying they are fed up with the APC administration.
It was gathered Ibarapa geo-political zone consists of three local government areas in Oyo state.
The speaker, who is clamouring for his re-election under the platform of the People Democratic Party, criticized some videos which went viral online a few days ago.
He said the videos are sponsored by opposition elements who are already afraid of defeat at the forthcoming governoship and state House of Assembly elections on March 18.
In a statement made available on Saturday, Ogundoyin cautioned that election should not be seen as a do or die affair.
He said, “Our people are tired of the APC Government in Oyo State and they don’t want them to return to power. The four years of Governor Seyi Makinde are not only beneficial to the people but also peaceful.
“What do they mean by neglect or abandonment of Ibarapaland when the present administration in Oyo State has projects which cut across our zone. We have Igboora/Idere/Ayete/Tapa to Igangan road project and from Igangan to Iganna. These projects cut across the entire Ibarapaland.
“In Ibarapa East alone, we have four road projects approved by Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration. Talk of Ogundoyin road, Local Government Secretariat road, New Eruwa to Maya road project and the Ido/Eruwa road recently flagged-off by his Excellency.
“I know the opposition are already counting their losses even before the election. Because as a lawmaker, I have delivered on my campaign promises”.
