Reacting, the general chairman of the residents association, Mr Tunji Alabi who appreciated the politician said the condition of the road had made many residents to relocate from the area.

While assuring Akintunde of the support of the residents, Alabi advised politicians to emulate the attitude of the Oyo-born politician who volunteered to put smiles on the faces of the people despite the fact that election had not been conducted.

With a grateful heart, the Baale of Ayegun Oleyo community, Alhaji Olajide, applauded the gesture saying it was indeed a prayer answered.

Speaking, the APC chieftain who sympathized with the people of the affected areas after seeing the condition of the five kilometer road, appreciated them for their perseverance promising that when elected, people of Oyo central will enjoy dividend of true democracy.

“Don’t nurse any fear. Before I threw my hat in the ring to represent you, I have been assisting people and communities. This isn’t the first time. In fact,I didn’t have ambition when I started. I am just grateful I had the opportunities of assisting and I did it and grateful for the mileages it has given us. I am not contesting because of anything but to better the lots of our people. So be rest assured that I am coming to do more,” he added.
