The Ogun State part of the Nigeria Labor Congress (NLC) has depicted the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, as a liar and an adversary of the state, notice him not to visit the state.
The NLC said Fashola had visited Ogun a few months prior, promising to begin reproduction chips away at the imploded segments of the Sango street.
In any case, the laborers, during one more dissent on Wednesday, communicated disillusionment that “Fashola neglected to satisfy his guarantee” months after.
Review that the NLC had on October 6 raged the Sango piece of the Lagos-Abeokuta thruway with a danger to close down the state in case nothing was done inside 21 days.
As the 21 days final offer passed, Ogun laborers and inhabitants assembled at Sango again for a dissent, conveying notices with different engravings like, “Enough of awful administration”, “Dapo Abiodun, let us partake in the profits of majority rule government in Ogun”, “Dapo, this enduring is excessively”, “Hear our cries, Ogun individuals are languishing”, “Dapo fix our streets, it is our right,” and others.
Talking, the NLC Chairman in Ogun, Emmanuel Bankole, said Ogun laborers had proclaimed Fashola a “persona non grata”, saying, “we would prefer not to see him, he deceived us, he tricked us.”
Bankole said: “21 days prior, we were here. We gave a final offer to the public authority that we are not satisfied with the condition of the streets; especially the Minister of Works coming here to guarantee that palliative works will initiate promptly and a little while after nothing was finished. That was the reason the 21 days final offer was given.
“Strangely, a couple of days prior, they began a few works. We can see a few heaps of stones by the state government. Yet, this isn’t yet what we requested. The Minister was here and he vowed to initiate quick palliative, which is yet to occur.
“Accordingly, Mr Babatunde Raji Fashola, for coming to deceive the residents of Ogun State, he is being pronounced ‘persona non grata’ in Ogun State. We are proclaiming him an adversary of Ogun State. We would prefer not to see him in Ogun State for coming to trick and hoodwink us that palliative works will initiate and nothing was finished.
“We saw what is in ground which is the work of the state government. The Federal Government can’t be gathering all the cash and be incurring torment for us. That is the reason we are here to offer the expression uproarious and clear that Babatunde Raji Fashola, the Ministry of Works and furthermore the FERMA in Ogun State are being announced persona non grata.
“At the point when we leave this spot, we are going to the FERMA’s office in Abeokuta and furthermore Ministry of Works to send message to their settle in Abuja that we are not satisfied with what they are doing.”
Bankole clarified further that the underlying arrangement was to close down the whole state, yet for the endeavors of the Governor Dapo Abiodun government.
“Usually, the choice was to close down this spot completely, yet the endeavors that we have seen by the State Government, the spot won’t be closed down. We are touchy, we are not here to incur torment for the residents of the State. The residents are as of now in torment. We are not here to add to it yet to say something noisy and clear that we will not permit them to ruin us, very much like Raji Fashola coming here to let us know that work would begin quickly and nothing was finished over two months. This is unsatisfactory to us and we are prepared to make a move.
“Our kin are on ground here to screen the condition of progress. We have our organizations all around the state. We would not permit them to come and do window-dressing and leave this spot. We need to screen everyday advancement out and about, I can guarantee our kin regarding that,” he submitted.
