Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has reacted to a circulating video showing residents of Osogbo inspecting the Oke Fia flyover, saying it helps counter rumours questioning the quality of the project.
The project has been the subject of opposition propaganda, with critics describing its construction as a poor decision and alleging that the bridge was too narrow and of low quality.
In a post on X on Sunday, Adeleke expressed delight at the public assessment of the flyover, which has faced criticism over its design and execution.
“I have received this clip of Osogbo residents inspecting and commenting on the quality of work being delivered by the Imole administration at the Oke Fia flyover, Osogbo.
“It brings me immense joy to see our people coming out in large numbers to dispel the rumours being spread by those determined to hinder the progress of Osun State,” the governor added.
The footage showed residents measuring sections of the bridge and commending the administration, dismissing claims that the project was narrow or substandard.
Adeleke, however, urged the public to wait until the work was completed and certified safe before use.
“While I deeply appreciate this unfiltered and honest assessment from the public, I appeal to the good people of Osun to allow the contractors to fully complete and certify the project as safe before making use of it,” the governor stated.
Adeleke also thanked residents for their continued support and attention to the matter.
