A group identified as Agboyi Progressive Union (APU) has slammed the chairman of Agboyi local government, Hon. Dele Osinowo for trying to take praise where he deserves none.
The development follows a recent publication in which credit for facilitating the construction of a newly constructed vehicular bridge in Agboyi community was given to Hon. Osinowo.
Agboyi Link Bridge
Reacting to the development, APU, set the record straight insisting that Hon. Osinowo’s claim is nothing but a fraudulent one.
Furthermore, the group added that Osinowo had no inputs in the facilitation of the bridge nor did he show up during the construction, adding that he only came to take photographs on the bridge as a mere ‘tourist’ after it’s completion.
The union commended the federal government for initiating and completing the long-overdue project, appreciating the Lagos State government for its supervision role.
APU also acknowledged the Olu of Agboyi, Oba Monsuru Ladega, SSA, the former President on SDG, Her Excellency, Adegoke Orelope Adefulire, and Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu for their roles in actualizing the project.
Also, the group commended Hon. Femi Saheed for raising the matter of the bridge on the floor of the Lagos House of Assembly and not denying others who participated in the struggle their credit.
On a final note, APU thanked Dele Osinowo for the water project he executed in Agboyi. It was also advised that the project should be powered by solar energy since that is the only commissioned project he can boast of in Agboyi in the last seven years.
Reacting to the incident, the Secretary of APU, who doubles as the Administrator of Agboyi Town Hall Community Management, Comrade Adebisi Musbau, berated Osinnowo for making a false claim, thereby asking him to desist from such an act.
“It’s misleading for an online media platform, Agboyi Voice, as sponsored by Mayor Dele Osinowo Agboyi, to have reported that Osinowo input was responsible for the conceptualization and completion of the Agboyi link bridge. We want to use this opportunity to ask them to desist from such acts.” Musbau warned.
In the same vein, Adebisi buttressed the claim that Osinowo knew nothing about the link bridge by relaying his (Osinowo) statement to prove his ignorance of the project. According to Adebisi, Osinowo’s said Agboyi link bridge would pass through Church Street in Alapere, while in actual fact, the bridge passes through Agboyi-Araromi-Ilaje, which is the layout that has existed for decades and was aligned solely in the survey, which serves as the blueprint till today.
He added that from the stage of the proposal to meetings and visitations by the federal government-constituted committee and the relevant agency in Lagos State, as well as the submission of surveys and dialogue on the project’s MOU, Mayor Osinowo was not in the picture as he knew nothing about it.
