“My concern is that we have done many bridges in certain areas but in some areas bridges are of no use because they were not needed at first.”

Olaleye bluntly said, “for example, if you look at the Ita-Eko pedestrian bridge, you can hardly see somebody on that bridge. I think all those money spent on those projects could have been well spent on constructing new roads and repairs those that needed urgent attention for better transportation which will definitely boost the state economy.”

When asked to rate the performance of the present administration, he said, ” I don’t think the government have done enough. We can see the high level of poverty in Ogun state and this is the area Accord party is trying to address to make sure we have social contract with Ogun citizens to promote the well being and welfare of the people in the state.”
