Osun gov election : Cast your votes wisely, Ilobu indigenes counselled

AS the governorship election in Osun State draws near, indigenes of Ilobu-Osun in Irepodun Local Government Area of Osun State resident in Akure, Ondo State, have urged their kinsmen to consider the development of the community in casting their votes in the election. The people, while speaking in Akure through Kasali Akande and Yisau Kareem, regretted that the community had suffered neglect from successive administrations in the state. They contended that the people should not consider party interest or any other sentiments in the coming election, but to cast their votes for any of the candidates who has plan to develop Ilobu community. While recalling that Ilobu is blessed with large expanse of land, the people appealed for the establishment of a higher institution in the town. They also called for the reconstruction of the bridge connecting the town with neighbouring communities. According to them, the bridge, which was constructed during the colonial era, had become an eyesore as motorists
compete with one another to pass through it. Apart from this, the Akure-based Ilobu residents want the incoming administration in the state to take over the reconstruction of the major road that links neighbouring Oyo and Kwara States, noting that the era of classifying certain roads as belonging to the Federal Government was over. They, however, warned sons and daughters of the community to refrain from being used as political thugs, advising that political gladiators should play the game according to the rules.
