The Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has suspended the ongoing campaign in local governments of the state until further notice.
The governor, who made the announcement shortly after flagging off the 10 kilometres Omi Adio-Ido road in Ido Local Government Area on Friday, said he could not be campaigning as the people are faced with undue hardship.
The governor, however, noted that works on the Omo Adio-Ido Road, which he flagged off, will continue.
Speaking earlier at the flag-off of the Omi Adio- Ido road, Governor Makinde told the people that the project was meant to ease transportation to the Ido Train Station, adding that residents of the area would experience hike in the value of their properties when completed.
He advised residents and land owners in the area not to sell their lands anyhow, as according to him; the development efforts being put in place by his administration would certainly influence the standard of living positively.
He also declared that his administration was seeking approval from the Federal Government to enable it to dualise the Omi Adio-Apata road, while also applying for a train station in Ologuneru axis to further ensure that the Lagos-Ibadan train service is fully enjoyed by residents of Oyo State.
