Ogun State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship
candidate, Prince Gboyega Nasir Isiaka has described the
neglect of the rural communities in the state as "irresponsible
and insensitivity" of the current administration to the plight of
the majority of the people in the state who are rural dwellers.
Isiaka, who also blamed Governor Ibikunle Amosun for the
strike being embarked upon by the teachers in the state
wondered why the government could not honour agreement
with them and other civil servants in the state.
He, however, pleaded with the teachers and workers, who he
noted had been dehumanised by the government not to lose
hope as his government will accord them their rightful place
in his government.
Reacting to the demands by the Council of Baales and village
heads at Yewa South Local Council in Ilaro, Ogun State on
Friday that met with him at Orona Hall, Isiaka assured them
that development of rural communities especially rural roads
will be giving priority by his administration.
The Chairman of the Council, Chief Olubisi Akinola had
expressed their concerns over the deplorable roads in the
rural communities which he said had crippled economic
activities in those areas and responsible for rural-urban drift.
Akinola pleaded with Isiaka to help develop rural
communities in the state and reduce the suffering of the rural
dwellers. He said, "there are maternity centres that nurses
and doctors have stopped working because of lack of
accessible roads".
While assuring them of looking into their plights, Isiaka said,
"We cannot develop our economic potentials in the state if we
abandon our rural communities especially the roads that link
them to the cities. It is irresponsible of any government to
think all that is necessary is to build bridges where they are
not necessary.
"We shall run a responsible government that takes people's
input and do projects that are desirable for them"
Isiaka, who also prayed with Moslem faithful at Ilaro Central
Mosque said, he came to the mosque to thank God for
emerging as the PDP candidate, promising to return to the
mosque after May 29 for a Special thanksgiving when he
would have been sworn in as the governor of the state.
The Chief Imam of Ilaro Central mosque Alhaji Tajudeen
Adewunmi urged Isiaka to remain a God-faring politician and
stand by the people. The cleric, who said he could attest to
the humility and integrity of Isiaka and his ability to turn
around the fortunes of the state, urged him to remain focused
and put God first in all his endeavours.
