Gov Adeleke Blaming Our Party For Reflective Cracks On Newly Inaugurated LAMECO Flyover Shocking, Unfortunate-Osun APC

Osun State APC on Saturday reacted to the allegations raised by Governor Ademola Adeleke on Friday in respect of the reflective cracks on the newly inaugurated LAMECO flyover submitting that it is profoundly upsetting and shocking that the party could be accused of deliberate destruction of public infrastructure  

The party in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by its spokesman, Mogaji Kola Olabisi said the governor was unnecessarily hasty and quick in accusing the opposition of being responsible for the lapses on the failed infrastructure.

‘In order to further prove his incompetence as the state governor who has visibly been shirking in his statutory responsibility of the safety of lives and property of the inhabitants of the state, it was indeed disheartening that the confused governor could also open his mouth wide enough to unjustifiably accuse the APC members of shooting at the equally substandard and poorly constructed flyover at Lagere, Ile-Ife.

We want to tell the governor that his tale-by-the-moonlight concerning the poorly constructed flyovers that is now attracting both national and international attention for the wrong reasons has refused to dazzle any right-thinking members of society.

We wonder what the governor and his co-travellers have expected to reap when it was pungent clear that the flyover contracts were awarded to quacks as opposed to the ubiquitous qualified civil engineers who are indigenes of the state and are known to be making waves in other riverine states, constructing monumental flyovers without an iota of complaint’ the statement said..

Osun State APC also cautioned the governor against raising false accusations while urging him to ensure that he exercises self-restraint.

‘The lies being packaged by the governor and his cohorts as the APC being responsible for the failure of his projects are not necessary as such would not sink in the subconscious of any discerning minds who have been watching the unserious posture of the dancing, wining, clubbing and lying governor since the inception of his administration.

It is absurd and misplaced for Governor Adeleke to mischievously hang his failure on the APC members moreso when there is no iota of proof linking them to such a crime. It is arrant nonsense for the governor to be hiding under constitutional executive power to be frivolously accusing the APC members of pouring chemical on the failed portion of the above ab initio poorly constructed Lameco Junction Flyover and the purported shooting of the Lagere Flyover in Ile-Ife.

Has the governor carried out any laboratory test on the damaged section of the substandard flyover to confirm that a chemical was poured on it? What kind of chemical was it, and what test was conducted to detect it? And where is the report?

Without any evidence, it is absolutely wrong for the governor to just wake up from the wrong side of his bed and start pointing accusing fingers at the APC members for his road and bridge failures’ the party added.

The party also suggested better ways of handling such a difficult situation and the needed remedial measures while urging the governor to acknowledge his missteps.

‘It is apposite for a comprehensive test to be carried out by an independent engineering professional body with a view to examining whether the quack engineers who constructed the failed flyover did a competent job in the first place.

Governor Adeleke should learn how to take responsibility for his failure instead of needlessly passing the bulk to another quarters and stop playing politics with the people’s lives from now till his imminent exit from the Bola Ige House in November.

The failed flyover should be reconstructed by competent engineers, not the quack contractors that the Governor Adeleke  government is using.

It is like the incumbent Governor Adeleke is only postponing the inevitable disaster associated with the bridge as it was discovered that as at 6.15am today (25th July, 2026), the obviously embattled and rattled governor Adeleke  had re-opened the structurally-deficient bridge and discovered that some labourers  had done what is referred to as patch and join in local civil engineering parlance.

What the governor has done as his solution to the failed flyover was to introduce concrete cement (2 bags of cement mixed with 5 bags of  3/4 granite in a 1:2:1 ratio) to repair the damaged section on a road that was originally built with coal-tar. 

No sensible civil engineer repairs a road built with coal-tar with concrete cement; this is what is referred to as cut and join which is not capable of standing the test of time and it’s a recipe for engineering failure.

What Governor  Adeleke ought to have done was to close down the bridge, allow NSE, COREN and other professional engineering agencies to conduct independent assessments on it and advise the government on the quality of work done and make recommendations. 

It’s the report of the qualified engineering professional bodies that the state government should have the liver to  force the contractor who handled the project to implement. This is the standard engineering practice on a structurally failed civil project like the controversial Lameco Junction Flyover’ the statement added -Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
