Gateway to the grave - The Nation Newspaper

Yet through its miseries, the “Gateway State” heaves to a smorgasbod of political orgasms, because its all that truly matters to vested interests within and outside the state.

Thus by such pricey words and a patronising smile, Buhari ennobled Amosun’s “legacy projects.” So doing, he ignored the fact, that, the Adire Mall at Itoku market, the Judicial Complex along Kobape road, the amphitheatre at the city centre and the renovated old Governor’s office at Oke-Ilewo, are mere powder blur, Amosun’s esthetic dressing of the gashes and sores inflicted on the state by his ineffectual leadership.

That Buhari publicly acknowledged the “shrewdness” and “foresight” of the immediate past governor of Ogun State is simply one way to look at the issue. The president could, however, be forgiven for failing to see through the smokescreen of Amosun’s “legacy projects.” Having landed in the state via the presidential chopper, NAF 540, Buhari was spared the horror of travel on Ogun State’s death roads.

There used to be a death trap at Owode junction, just before you get to Ifo. Today, that dangerous pothole has birthed numerous craters, incessantly claiming lives and property in ghastly auto accidents. Ugliness subsists in Lafenwa, Aiyetoro, Olugbode and various communities along Itele road. More roads present an eyesore at Oju-Ore, Ilo-Awela and Oke-Aro, Toll-gate junction, Joju, Temidire and environ, because these hotspots and scenes of multiple deadly accidents were inconsequential to Amosun’s “legacy” venture.

Your article could have sounded well and unbiased if it was published some months ago. He is just a chicken-hearted writer, punto.
