Ogun Governor Gets multiple knocks over claims of constructing roads with many angry residents accusing him of abandoning their areas
Angry residents of Ogun State have expressed their displeasure over the comment made by the state Governor, Dapo Abiodun claiming that his administration has done more in term of roads construction than previous administration in the State.
The likes of Segun Osoba, Gbenga Daniel and Senator Ibikunle Amosun had ruled the State.
According to Abiodun on his Twitter handle, he boasted that 80 major roads, including federal ones, have been constructed since he came on board in 2019.
Abiodun said the roads, totalling 400km, were constructed, reconstructed and rehabilitated by his administration.
With this feat, the governor maintained that his administration in the last three and a half years, has more kilometres of road done than what his predecessors could lay claim to.
“Over 80 major roads and others (Federal roads inclusive) totalling 400km have been constructed, reconstructed or rehabilitated across the State.
“This administration in three years and six months has done more in terms of kilometres of roads than previous administrations in the State,” Gov Abiodun tweeted
However, reactions have trailed his claim as some of his followers and residents of the state in their various responses challenged the Governor.
@DayoIge5 said the governor can’t justify the 400km road construction he claimed his administration has done.
“You practically can’t justify the 400km road construction you are tabling to the public.
The whole of Agbado, Oke-Aro, Alagbole, Akute, Ajuwon,Mowe, Ofada. Did not see any touch of road work. How will you claim you covered 400km without a path seen in all those areas. Joke right?”
@remmy9112001 said lie is an understatement, as he asked the governor to drive himself around to see what people are going through.
“Lie is an understatement @dabiodunMFR please drive yourself through Sango – Abeokuta road and let’s see how you will score yourself.
“Take a good look at Ojuore – your exposure should tell you that place needs a good 🚦 traffic light, removal of traders and bike and transporters park.
“You all will be redesigning Abeokuta main roads alone as if that’s where your mandate is. There are more productive parts of Ogun than the dead Abeokuta generating nothing to the economy of the state.
“Egbon, let’s know what we are doing o. I don’t know where these roads are because the ones you started in Denro since 2021 is abandoned. Only recently is Ojodu-Alagbole Road is having a resurface. Hopefully not a charade,” Asiwaju Olusegun Awofeso wrote
In his own reaction,Sola Taiwo wrote,”And those milage can’t be referred to as 400km of good roads. The rot in infrastructure within Ogun state is calamitous, the governor should stop lies and face governance and development of all area, not selective inner roads to nowhere.”
@OlaadeCaleb wrote,”Governor Dapo, you are a LIAR!
How do these people lie so effortlessly? Oh just because you have Cole to pour some asphalt on the project Amosun started in Mowe now, you have suddenly done more than Amosun? You haven’t even done half of Gbenga Daniel’s own… You are a BIG LIAR.”

@Passing009 said,”Your excellency sir, you need to set up panel of supervision to check all work done, so many areas you claimed completed are bad within 3 months. Meanwhile we have other places your administration didn’t touch which shouldn’t be, you failed us.”
@morganbounty said people living in Ajuwon,Alagbole and other areas have terrible experience in those areas due to bad road
“You say ? Akute, Ajuwon, alagbole, Lambe roads are terrible! Very very bad! Maybe u need to start checking this roads urself,” he said
@DareHandy09 said Mowe,Ibafo axis has never felt the impact of the governor especially in road construction
“Mowe/Ibafo / Magboro / Makorgi / Akute etc are part of Ogun state and your presence has never been felt there so it’s either you work in those areas and stop giving their false figures probably your team isn’t telling u all these,” he wrote
@lekeyor challenged the governor to list out those roads adding that the road constructed at Ojo-Ore to Sango has failed again within three months of construction.
“List them out the road that link Oju Ore to Aango that never reach 3 months are spoilt. All your engineers don’t know Sabi their work.
“Let speak out not that he will be coming online and start typing that they have done this and that yet u did not do anything,” he tweeted
