The Ruling Peoples Democratic Party PDP Ogun State Chapter has berated the All Progressive Party APC, for criticizing the planned expansion of Iwo-Road interchange in Ibadan with N8 billion.
PDP noted that the criticism showed that the APC was insensitive to the plights of commuters.
The state PDP Publicity Secretary Akeem Olatunji, revealed this in a press statement released on Sunday in Ibadan.
Olatunji noted that APC’a criticism was borne out of ignorance, adding that, the quick response to the criticism was to enlightened the party on the measures the Governor was taking to solve the issue.
The statement reads “Let us place it on record that Iwo Road is not just a segment of a road located within the Oyo state capital; it is an interchange that has become the melting point of all travellers within Nigeria.
“It brings those coming from the North face to face with travellers across the South-West, South-South and South-East as well.
“The criticism by the APC shows a clear insensitivity to the plight of commuters who daily waste lots of man-hours trying to wade through the sea of traffic around the interchange.
“Makinde is not only on point with the decision to reconstruct Iwo Road but has also shown his humane character by choosing to directly explain the developmental objectives to the people around the area.
“It will shock the APC to note that the people who worship at the Adogba mosque and others who will be affected by the demolition exercise have gladly adopted the governor’s decision, following the interface.
“We are reassured by the fact that the PDP government has, in less than five months, designed and started implementing a holistic solution to the perennial Iwo Road traffic problem.”
