Kolapo-Sowunmi Faults Ogun Government Over Blackout
The deputy governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State, Alhaja Kolapo-Sowunmi, has knocked the state government over the prolonged darkness being experienced by residents of Ibara-Omida Community in the Abeokuta South Local Government Area.
Mrs Sowunmi, who gave this position while receiving the PDP House of Representatives candidate for the Abeokuta, Toyin Amuzu, accused the ruling All Progressives Congress administration of misplaced priority, insensitivity and preference for extravagant political displays over genuine service to the people.
The PDP deputy governorship candidate, however, thanked Amuzu for his intervention in the Ibara-Omida community, where he supported residents in addressing the prolonged problem associated with their faulty transformer.
According to her, the development was a reflection of the difference between leaders who are genuinely service-oriented and those whose political activities are primarily driven by the desire to impress the electorate, particularly during election periods.
She further criticised what she described as the APC’s reliance on lavish spending and what she called Greek gifts and empty political shows as strategies to win elections.
