APC Warns Makinde Against Further Demolition Of Property To Avoid Citizens’ Revolt

The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Oyo, has warned Governor Seyi Makinde against further demolition of property in the state.

APC noted that the warning became necessary to avoid citizens’ revolt.

The party made the call in a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Wasiu Olawale Sadare on Thursday.

The APC in the statement noted that many people whose property have been demolished, marked for demolition as a result of the ongoing Ibadan Circular Road are currently lamenting.

The party then advised the governor to stop further demolition of property across the state, explaining that the citizens are being pushed to the wall.

The party maintained that it is natural that people would consider the self-help option.

The party in the statement advised the governor to halt further demolition of property in the state.

It concluded that this is necessary to avoid citizens’ revolt across the state.

The opposition party said, “The lamentations coming from the victims of the ongoing demolition of citizens’ properties along the road stretch anticipated for the Ibadan Circular Road Project are so deafening that no sensitive government should ignore. Property owners express their frustrations everywhere around Ibadan and on social media as lives are being lost on account of disappointment and shock Gov. Makinde seems not bothered or concerned.

“To make the matter worse, the state government has not been able to convince the whole world on why it must render several thousands of families homeless just because a 110km road project is to be delivered. Questions have asked regarding what the governor planned to do with the over 500,000 plots of land being forcefully taken from the rightful owners majority of whom are poor citizens but there are no answers coming from the government.

“Now that the citizens are being pushed to the wall, it is natural that people would consider the self help option. The signals are so loud that mammoth crowd of victims should be taken for granted again. We do not want any crisis in our dear state and this is why we are appealing to Gov. Makinde to reduce the set back or corridor on the road to 100metres as against the 500metres (on both sides) being implemented.”
