A newly constructed road in the Aduramigba area of Ido-Osun, Osun State has been reportedly washed away less than 24 hours after its completion.
The development has attracted condemnation from the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress, (APC).
In a statement released on Sunday, APC spokesperson, Kola Olabisi claimed the incident confirmed the party’s longstanding warnings about the alleged incapacity of the Peoples Democratic Party-led administration to handle infrastructure development in the state.
According to him, “Osun State is currently undergoing one of its most precarious moments in history.
“The state’s developmental progress has suffered tremendously under the minimalist and ineffective administration of Governor Adeleke for over two years now.”
He accused Adeleke of widespread incompetence and mismanagement across various sectors, alleging that the administration lacked both sincerity and technical capacity.
“The people of Osun are witnessing the fallout of governance built on propaganda and misdirected priorities. One cannot give what he does not have.
“If Governor Adeleke isn’t undermining the judiciary, he’s disrespecting traditional institutions. The courts are now reversing some of these poorly handled decisions.
“The road which stretches from the Trade Fair Complex through Adeleke Estate to Ido-Osun Junction was tarred on Wednesday, 14 May 2025, but collapsed after heavy rainfall on Thursday, 15 May 2025," he claimed.
Meanwhile, residents of the community were said to have staged a protest following the incident, expressing frustration over the quality of the work and its rapid deterioration just one day after completion.
Governor Adeleke’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, in a statement on Saturday, confirmed that officials from the Ministry of Rural Development, Ministry of Works, and the O-RAMP Project had been deployed to the area.
