This raises serious concerns about whether the project addressed an existing problem,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The party argued that the N10.7 billion flyover, which has been completed for over four months, has not demonstrated clear value, given that residents and commuters have adjusted without noticeable inconvenience.<\/p>\n<p>According to APM, the situation calls into question the planning process behind the project and whether adequate studies were carried out before public funds were committed.<\/p>\n<p>Adebayo, who is also the party\u2019s governorship candidate for the 2026 election, recalled that he had earlier expressed reservations about the state government\u2019s large-scale infrastructure programmes.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cAs far back as 2023, we cautioned that the N100 billion infrastructure plan lacked focus. Today, the evidence suggests that its overall impact across the state remains limited.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The party also claimed that the subsequent N150 billion infrastructure programme has produced uneven results, alleging that a significant portion of completed road projects is concentrated in Ede, the governor\u2019s hometown.<\/p>\n<p>APM stated that while some areas have benefited from extensive road construction, other parts of Osun State are still awaiting comparable attention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe imbalance in project distribution is obvious. Infrastructure development should reflect the needs of the entire state, not selected locations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The party also called on the state government to make public comprehensive details of projects executed under both infrastructure plans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are demanding full disclosure of all projects, including contractors involved and the exact contract sums,\u201d Adebayo said.<\/p>\n<p>APM added that transparency would help residents better understand how public resources are being utilised and assess the true benefits of the projects undertaken.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
