One of the top media centre in Ondo state, Citadel Towers, in a PRESS STATEMENT gave a detailed explanation to debunk the rumor going around.

Our attention has been drawn to a laughable insinuation making the round like a wild fire that the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar was responsible for some solar street lights in Okitipupa local government area, in the Southern Senatorial district of Ondo state.

This is to state, emphatically , that the former Vice President has no hand in the said solar street lights. It's on record that Atiku has left government when the solar street lights were put in place.

This clarification became necessary so as not to give a false impression that Atiku can lay claim to a project he knows nothing about in Ondo state.

The people of Ondo state are unique personalities. They do not enjoy pampering external actors who was part of the problem that has crippled the commercial activities of the southern senatorial district.

Throughout the tenure of the former President Goodluck Jonathan, a PDP man, the Southern Senatorial district of Ondo state was thrown into total darkness. For over 10 years now, the people had lived in darkness.

The Muhammadu Buhari administration through the intervention of Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, an APC governor, has just mobilized the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) to the area to install damaged power installations and restore power to the southern Senatorial District of the state.

It's on record that the APC led Akeredolu government has also provided solar power to some homes in Igbobini and Igbotu to cushion the effect of total blackout in the area.

It is, however, worrisome that a Party / government (PDP) who looked away from the plight of the people is now busy spreading outright falsehood that its Presidential candidate facilitated or installed solar street lights in Okitipupa local government. We are just setting the record straight.

Signed
Citadel Towers (OndoForBuhari)
