The Senate President said this at the grand finale of the Yewa Cultural Festival in Ilaro in the Yewa South Local Government Area of Ogun State on Saturday, 14th of October, 2023.
Akpabio, who was accompanied by 70 senators to the event, revealed he insisted on driving to the venue for him to have first-hand experience of what people go through on the road every day, adding that it took his team more than two hours to drive to Ilaro from Lagos.

According to him,
“When I was coming, I decided to pass through the Lagos-Abeokuta, Papalanto-Ilaro road to experience the pain you people are facing on the road.
“I spent about two hours in traffic along Papalanto-Ilaro road because two tankers fell on the road. I really sympathise with you. I went through what you people are passing through on daily basis.
“I am giving Governor Abiodun the Senate support in rehabilitation of these important roads.
“I was determined to go through the road that you go through. Now, I have seen what you have been seeing. From today, I prophesy that your roads are done.
“Yewaland has the greatest number of industries that local government can ever have in Nigeria, just five local governments.
“Therefore, we recognise the need to use the best set of contractors to do your roads because of the wear and tear. I assure you that we will be working with our brother, Dapo Abiodun. Your lives will not be the same again.
“The 10th Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is going to get the list of things you want us to do here.”[CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>
