Reactions have trailed the award of a N678 million contract for the reconstruction of the Sango-Timi Shrine and Grove at the palace of Timi of Ede, Oba Adesola Lawal, by the Osun State Government.
A document sighted by OSUN DEFENDER showed that the Sango-Timi Shrine and Grove was one of the contracts awarded by Governor Ademola Adeleke’s administration.If You’re Reading From Phoenix Click On Read Original To Read Full Article
Reacting to the development, the Coordinator, Centre for Social Justice and Public Protection (CSJPP), Akin Akanji, slammed the state government for awarding such an amount to the reconstruction of the shrine.
Akanji said other critical sectors needed the attention of the state government, accusing Governor Adeleke of not getting his priorities right.
He said, “It is indeed sad. This government is drifting away from reality day by day, and unfortunately, the people of Osun are the ones suffering the consequences.
“The state education, agriculture, and youth sector is begging for a major revamp, and while the government is shouting that there is no fund due to the seizure of local government allocations, it is awarding over N600 million to reconstruct a shrine.
“The question we should ask is, would Adeleke have approved that contract if it were in another town? His over-concentration on Ede is getting out of control.
“Adeleke should not forget that he is the governor of Osun State and not Ede, and people are watching. This is Osun taxpayers money, and he is behaving as if Ede is the only town in the state. He should be cautioned by those who genuinely love him.”
