Osun APC commends FG for halting airport project

Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has commended the Federal Government for its decision to halt the MKO Abiola International Airport project in the state.

DAILY POST had reported that as part of its second year anniversary, the Ademola Adeleke administration revealed that it was relocating the airport from Ido-Osun to Aisu in Ede South local government area of the state.

On Tuesday, the Federal Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development announced that it was putting on hold the turning of the sod of the proposed airport in Ede pending the determination of some unresolved issues.

Reacting on Wednesday, the Osun APC through a statement by Kola Olabisi, its Director of Media and Information, said the futile relocation of the airport by Governor Adeleke to his town has been causing a series of crises in Ido-Osun, the host community.

The party also described the relocation efforts as an act of executive recklessness and oppression.

DAILY POST also reported that residents of Ido-Osun community had been protesting and demonstrating against the state government decision.

The statement said, “The unpopular relocation bid of the airport by the governor to his town has always been attracting negative comments from within and outside the shores of this country as no tenable reason could be adduced for the relocation of the airport other than an unfair desire to exhibit a wicked attribute of favouritism and nepotism.

“The relocation saga of the airport had heightened tension which had enveloped the state and proved to be a focal point for the urgent need by any serious government at the centre to have intervened at the right time to douse the tension over either the building or relocation of any airport by this time in the history of the state that can hardly grow its Internally Generated Revenue (IGR).

“This bungled airport relocation saga has, to a large extent, exposed the administration of Governor Adeleke as deviously lacking in planning but prioritizing the running of government by impulse which has caused the state a lot of havoc since the intervention of the PDP-run government into the political theatre of the state about 26 months ago.”

The party also described the action of the Federal Government as prompt as it will checkmate another visible action of alleged financial recklessness by Governor Adeleke.
