The Osun Masterminds demanded that the Osun State Governor immediately reins in the persons claiming to be representing Government, who are bent on hijacking the said land, against existing judgment of the Osun State High Court.
This was made known by the Executive Director of the Group, Wasiu Oyedokun-Alli, while presenting the October State of the State address, where he noted that the society is aware of the rift that broke out between the Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Adewale Egbedun, and a Lawyer who was on assignment on the said land.
He said the group is aware of the series of events that has transpired on the land between the Osun State Government and the Gbaemu Royal Family, which culminated in a judgment of the Osun State High Court.
Oyedokun also condemned the ongoing construction of the overhead bridge at Oke fia and Lameco junction saying such construction is needless and worthless considering the present day economy, a stand he said the Organization also made public when the previous Government constructed the Olaiya flyover.
According to him, “when the Oyetola Government commenced the construction of the Olaiya Flyover, we made it clear that it was a needless venture and a number of our constituent organizations fiercely took the previous government on, going as far as submitting complaints to anti-graft agencies.”
While speaking on the hardship in the country, Oyedokun maintained that increment in the state’s allocation has no impact on lives the citizens of the state and however appealed to both federal and state government to intensity effort on alleviating programs that will make life easy for all.
The group again called on the Federal Government and the Osun State Government more importantly, to as a matter of urgency, intensify efforts to free the masses from the shackles of poverty.
