"What sense is therein, for a executive which is yet to make a pronouncement on the acceptable minimal wage for its worker's as initiated via the federal govt, to toy with the plans to construct 5 flyovers in the state at a time?
"All concerned stakeholders within the Osun venture should carry up their voice to be able to condemning the apparently gang-raping of the economy of the state through some disgruntled aspects who are parading themselves as political leaders within the state."

On sources of funding for the initiatives, Bisi mentioned that the governor disclosed on the event that he created a mission account into which mark downs from leakages, refunds, and infra-connected interventions were being lodged.
The PDP chairman remark additional read, "studying through the APC observation, we see a party it is in bewilderment and extreme ache at the ingenuity, innovation, and monetary engineering of the Adeleke governorship.
"The PDP government inherited a state with over 95 infrastructural deficits as of November 2022. Our inside state infra audit when PDP took over printed that the infrastructural decay cut throughout all sectors schooling, health, roads, and water amongst others. We then developed an preliminary emergency plan that resulted in the complete renovation of 31 schools, forty five kilometers of roads, 332 functioning boreholes, the graduation of rehabilitation of water works, rewarding intervention within the fitness sector, and most important actions on such roads as Osogbo-Ikirun and the Osogbo ring street among others.
"We call on the APC to study the total speech of Mr. Governor in which he spelt out the recommendations, the initiatives, the funding plans, and sources of such funding. The APC may still get informed that not all Governors are interested in diverting public money as turned into the practice when the opposition holds sway."
