South West Major Highways: Akogun Lere Oyewumi rejig National Assembly Priorities. - Says Ibadan/Ikire/Ipetumodu,
Ile-Ife/Ilesa/Akure/Owo roads need urgent revisit 

Abuja, February 13, 2022.

The Senator representing Osun West Senatorial District in the Nigeria Senate, Hon. Olalere Oyewumi has again raised the importance of the Ibadan-Ikire, Ipetumodu-Ife, Ilesa- Akure-Owo link road during plenary session.

Senator Oyewumi's submission was based on the importance of the roads which linked the South West land locked States beginning from Lagos to Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ondo and Ekiti States.

In his observation, Senator Oyewumi reminded his colleagues of the need to make sure that the roads linking these five states to the other parts of Nigeria are as important, even more important, than the coaster road which he said would in no way benefit the users of these land locked States while not condemning the importance of the coastal road as well to the people of the states in the Atlantic Ocean belt.

Oyewumi therefore urged his colleagues to, as a matter of urgency, give the same urgency placed on the coastal road to the roads linking the South West and other regions of the country together for smooth motoring.

It will be recalled the Senators from the South West have raised their voice on the deplorable conditions almost all major roads in the South West have been subjected to die to neglect and poor maintenance by successive past administration in the country.

Oyewumi added that these abandoned roads are the only major roads linking the Northern and Southern regions of Nigeria from the South West and they have become practically not motorable and sorely dilapidated.

He therefore said he is fully in support of the motion brought by one of his colleagues on the urgent need to reconstruct the major South West roads.

Signed.

Akogun Lere Oyewumi,
Deputy Minority Leader of Nigerian Senate.

NEWS RELEASE

NEWS RELEASE 10 - 2 - 2025 The Osun State House of Assembly has expressed grave concern over the sinister plot devised by the opposition party, the APC, aimed at inciting violence across the state. In response to this alarming development, we call upon the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to ensure that his officers uphold the highest standards of professionalism, remaining neutral in their essential role of maintaining security in Osun. We are aware that Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola is exploiting his ministerial influence and his familial connection to the President to manipulate security leadership, thereby fostering an environment of unrest. It is crucial to emphasise that the Appeal Court judges have not issued any directive reinstating the chairmen from the contentious Yes/No election, and we firmly reject any attempts to subvert justice. We urge the Inspector General to take into account the Appeal Judgment delivered on January 13, 2025, which reaffirmed the O...

Over the past few days, Osun State has witnessed an unprecedented escalation of political tension, threats to law and order, and a blatant disregard for the rule of law. This crisis stems from a coordinated, illegal attempt to forcefully seize control of our local government councils by individuals who have no legal or constitutional right to those offices. Today, members of the opposition party in the state, the All Pr...
