YUSUF MUHAMMED

 A former Lagos State House of Assembly aspirant under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, (Alimosho Constituency 1), Prince Dr. Dauda Ewenla, has complained that the constituency has been neglected as there were no tangible projects being undertaken by the present administration except the previous projects executed by the last administration. 

In his reaction, Dr. Dauda said, “The major road that leads to Katangowa Market, where second hand clothes a.k.a Okrika, are being sold has been in a deplorable situation. Yet our public office holders are lavishing the allocations meant to develop the area and the environs. This very road is beside the Agbado Okeodo Local Council Development Area office and two caterpillars are parked in front of the LCDA unused”.

“Why can’t they use the caterpillars to at least grade the roads in Agbado Okeodo and Alimosho so that the residents can benefit from the government? Are they waiting for the State Government to come and grade a road that would not cost up to N500,000 to grade? I want the EFCC to come and investigate Alimosho and all the Local Council Development Areas. How are they spending their allocation given to them by the Federal Government and State Government? The Federal House of Representation and State House of Assembly are there doing nothing; no constituency office to locate them in case of any complain by the community.”

Dr. Dauda Ewenla continued, “If an individual wants to use his personal money to repair the roads, they will come and harass such person. Five days ago, all residents of Abule Oki parked out of their houses when they were ravaged by flood; all the streets were taken over by flood”.

A visit by P.M.EXPRESS reporter to the area, was a harrowing experience, as he found moving about the area a herculean task.
