“It is worrisome that the road is still not completed 19 years after.
“I remember that there was an incident, I was driving and there was an accident which involved students. 18 of them and all of them died. We were shielding tears. The following Tuesday, I moved a motion at the chamber on the issue. But, the only thing that they did was that they came and do some palliatives on the road. They promised that they will do the main express.
“But, the good news is that from Oyo now, it has reached Elega, it remained from Elega to Ogbomoso now to link Ilorin road.

“ What they always tell us is that it is fund, fund, fund. We will not relent, we will continue to consolidate efforts, we will continue to put pressure on them till when the road is completed.

“I am doing this for the benefits of my constituents only, there are some people who will benefit today. May be this is the only thing that they will benefit in a democracy. So, I am proud that I am doing it.

“There is no way you can satisfy everybody, even with this, there is no way you can satisfy all constituents. But, I am happy that many people will be happy today”, Senator Buhari stated .
