The Ogun State chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the state governor, Dapo Abiodun, of evading responsibility and failing to address the deteriorating infrastructure surrounding the Wole Soyinka train station in Abeokuta.
This is coming as the state government cited bureaucratic complexities and the need for the Federal Government’s approval as the primary reason behind the delay in reconstructing the worn-out pathway leading to the train station.
In a statement, yesterday, the state’s Publicity Secretary of the party, Akinloye Bankole, said that the PDP condemned government’s habitual practice of shifting blame instead of taking decisive action.
He dismissed the claim as a feeble attempt to deflect accountability, asserting that the state government has a constitutional obligation to maintain all roads within its jurisdiction, regardless of their proximity to federal facilities.
“It is completely heartbreaking to witness the government’s disregard for the plight of the people.
“Residents have endured years of neglect and broken promises, while the government remains aloof and unresponsive to their needs.
“The PDP called on Governor Dapo Abiodun to abandon his alleged detachment from governance and take immediate action to rectify the situation,” he said. He, however, demanded an apology from the governor to the people of Ogun State for the administration’s failures and urged swift measures to address the crumbling infrastructure around the railway station.
