As leaders and members of the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State are basking in the euphoria of Engr. Seyi Makinde’s second anniversary in Agodi Government house, the governor has come under fire for commissioning junction improvement work and car park at Challenge and Felele, Ibadan as part of activities to commemorate his 730days in office.
Governor Makinde, after the commissioning ceremony on Saturday May 29, 2021, took to his Facebook and Twitter page to share photos and video of himself with his deputy governor Engr. Rauf Olaniyan, Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin and other top government officials.
The governor via his official Facebook and Twitter pages posted:
This afternoon, we commissioned the junction improvement work and car park at Challenge and Felele, Ibadan. The project includes the installation of traffic lights to ease the traffic flow. We also built a park for vehicles and motorbikes to transit and ease movement at this junction.
Transporters and visitors can now park their vehicles without hindering traffic. The road has been expanded creating even more space for vehicular movement. We also have three modern bus stops constructed for commuters.
In another 9:53sec video posted, GSM mocked his predecessor, late former Governor Abiola Ajimobi, saying “Those who said they are architect of Oyo State only did less than 40km for eight years they spent in office. Whoever has contrary information on this should come out and speak up. Our plan is to engineer modern Oyo State”.
Intense criticism is trailing the governor’s posts and remarks on social media. Majority of social media users who reacted to the governor’s posts expressed their monumental disappointments over what Engr. Makinde tagged as one of his star projects as the Chief Executive Officer of Oyo State.
Some of the reactions read:
@TheophillusAA
The project was abandoned for months only for a rush work to begin 5days ago because Governor has to commission it today. The asphalt at the entrance of the said park is already breaking off… In less than 5hrs after it was commissioned and certified good for use.
@deeonebaba
This is so embarrassing, I always thought the SouthWest is too sophisticated for something like this, I never imagined a SouthWest Governor can do this. Never imagined there could be someone more dramatic than Fayose, and even Fayose won’t sink this low…
@3bood021: Show us images like these.
Aerial images we want.
Don’t bamboozle us.
@victoria_NG: Gbogbo eyin Omo Ibadan, congrats o! The commissioning of a walkway and traffic light is a milestone achievement. 🤭
You never regret campaigning and voting for a governor whose overall achievement is commissioning of a traffic light and walk way. 😫
@Olut17:
Please is not all.of us that would fall that mediocrity of a governor…he is a shame having such a collosia failure as a governor in Oyo state..Jide sanwoolu na my governor joo
@OladejoAdekunl8:
Oyo state is now being govern by a governor of a local government . What a milestone achievement for the whole 2 years. while a local government in Lagos celebrating with a tangible project . MEDIA GOVERNOR OF THE YEAR
@egwuonwupatrick
@sama_on_point
This is the standard of democratic dividend we are getting from political elites nowadays. Even local government chairman is not suppose to be to proud of this project
This sort of project commissioning emphasises the need for full LGA autonomy in Nigeria.
A Governor and his entourage left the office to commission this to mark his 2 Years in office? Omo!!
A fully autonomous LGA boss suppose fit handle dis kind petty projects without hassle!!!
@theotosin
Wait. Is he commissioning the bank or the building beside it? Or what exactly is H.E commissioning? I’m kinda confused here
@somoola04
The tragic light and paintings done on the road please.
@kyngkunkun
Most of the people here praising Makinde for commissioning traffic light are the ones who daily insult Buhari for doing so much that they refuse to see.
@damilara_y
Ibadan folks your governor just commissioned street lights and walk ways in this time and age. Congratulations guys. Makinde se bebe ni Ibadan ile.

Commissioning a traffic light? This country is a joke! Traffic lights that are being fixed almost daily and everywhere in kaduna and are being seen as normal in Kaduna, whole state Gov is announcing the commissioning. Wawu!
