The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Ondo State chapter, has
lashed out at Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa for his alleged stance against the
completion of projects initiated by his late boss, former Governor Oluwarotimi
Akeredolu.
With the opposition party describing government as a
continuum, PDP emphasised that Aiyedatiwa, who was a key part of the late
Akeredolu’s administration as deputy governor, ought to prioritise the
projects.
Ondo State PDP in a statement issued by its Director of
Media and Publicity, Leye Igbabo, stated that the action of the governor could
be likened to political vendetta against those within Akeredolu’s
administration who moved against his moves to assume the position of governor
while his erstwhile boss was incapacitated.
Igbabo, who revealed the abandoned projects to include Ijoka
Road construction project, Alagbaka Extension Road project, Onyearugbulem
Junction Flyover bridges, among others, stressed that nothing ought to have
delayed the completion of the projects with the resources at Aiyedatiwa’s
disposal.
While also describing as illogical the decision of
Aiyedatiwa to not to complete the road project on his street at Alagbaka,
Akure, the state capital, the opposition emphasised that the governor is
displeased with those handling the project within Akeredolu’s camp.
The party urged the governor to exhibit large-heartedness
like the biblical David, who overlooked the action of his brothers against him,
particularly considering the circumstances that brought him to power.
“The available facts showed that Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa
was not ready to go on with the projects because of his clear intention to
destroy his predecessor’s legacy on the altar of political vendetta against the
late governor and his camp.
“We can feel this level of animosity towards his
predecessor’s camp such that the governor even refused to complete the ongoing
3 km Alagbaka Extension road project in front of his own house.
“We view such a stance as puerile, immature, and ungrateful,
and therefore caution the Governor to exercise restraint in the use of naked
powers, as absolute powers belong to God.
Meanwhile, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the
state has described the position of the PDP as false, admonishing the
opposition party to stop spreading misinformation and focus on internal issues
confronting the party.
According to the Director of Media and Publicity of Ondo APC,
Steve Otaloro, “It is nonsensical for the PDP to suggest that Governor
Aiyedatiwa would undermine the legacy he helped build by neglecting ongoing
projects.”
