Earlier, State Chairman of APC, Mr. Ade Adetimehin commended the people of the town for their support and urged them to continue to stand by the party now and in the future.

“Your continued support for the present administration during elections would enable the Governor to continue delivering more people-oriented projects across the state”, he said.

He thanked the Governor for the completion of the road linking Irele Local government with Okitipupa and other neighbouring local governments which he said had stopped the sufferings of people travelling from Ilaje to Okitipupa.

“We equally commend you on your kind approval for the construction of 1km Secretariat/Sabomi road with Asphalt overlay. This is made possible in view of your genuine promise that major towns across the state will benefit from your good road network scheme.

“We appeal that you give further approval for the construction of the remaining part of the road to make life more meaningful for our people”, he said.
