…Pledges Govt’s Intervention
The governor of Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde, on Thursday commiserated with families of a 28 year old boy, Abiodun Adeleke, who died in a recent flood at Onilu-Moniya.
Adeleke, a resident of Onilu-Moniya, lost his life last night during the heavy downpour while helping some bike riders to cross the Asanmajana River. He was swept away by the torrent.
Makinde expressed his sympathy when he visited the Onilu Central Landlord Association, over the recent flood recorded in the community.
Represented by the Chairman, Oyo State Road Maintenance Agency, OYSROMA, Hon. Kamil Akinlabi Mudashiru, Makinde assured the residents and people of the area that government’s intervention would soon be felt in the area.
The governor said, “We are deeply sorry for your loss and trauma occasioned by the demise of your son, Abiodun Adeleke, while trying to help some residents of the area to cross the Asanmajana River last night. May Almighty God continue to uphold and protect the family he left behind.”
Appealing to the residents and people of Onilu-Moniya and Akinyele Local Government Area to exercise patience, Makinde said that the long awaited intervention would soon be felt in the area.
In his address, the Chairman, Onilu Central Landlord Association, Mr. Bukola Akintola, thanked Governor Makinde for his quick response and visit to the area.
Noting that many government officials have visited the area in the past without any positive impact, Akintola expressed the optimism that Governor Makinde will fulfill his promise to the residents of the area.
