Against the backdrop of the deplorable Okeoffin-Ayede-Olle_Iluke road, and worsening security situation across Bunu land in kabba Bunu lGC, stakeholders have charged state government and Security Agencies to urgently fix the road and restore security to the area.
National President of Bunu Development Association (BDA), Pastor Kolawole Johnson, appealed on the sidelines at the birthday celebration of Olubunu, HRH Oba Joseph Ikusemoro.
The National President urged Governor Ododo to urgently commence the rehabilitation of Kabba-Oke-Offin-Olle Road and also to improve security of lives and property across the district.
Pastor Johnson pointed out that most roads in Bunu land are currently in a deplorable condition, hence criminals taking advantage to perform their evil act.
In his words, “Your Excellency, Like Oliver Twist Bunu people will continue to ask more from your government in the area of security for the protection of lives and properties in the district. Another paramount request is the reconstruction of Edumo-Okeoffin-Ayede-Olle_Iluke road,
According to him, the Igbo-Odogbo-Iluke and Ihale-Taki roads are presently a death trap and impassable by vehicles, especially during this rainy season, calling for urgent attention to be given to it.
“Your excellency, it is very disheartening to mention to you that Ihale-Taki road is not motorable every raining season which has limited and deprived the resident from transporting their farm produce to the market. The height of the matter is that ceremonies are being put to halt during the rainy season due to the condition of the road.
“We would be happy if you can give an express directive to Kabba/Bunu Local Government to commence immediate grading of Aiyegunle Ighun-Aduratedo Ape-Igori-Aherin-Eshi road as well as Ofere–Ihale-Taki road and Edumo-Okebukun-Okeoffin bye pass road.
The BDA President added that “Bunu people appeal to Your Excellency to kindly use your good office to appeal and mount more pressure on the Federal Government for the completion of Suku-Akutupa-Ike-Abuji road.
The dignitaries include; Kogi State Governor, Alh. Ahmed Usman Ododo, represented by his Deputy, Elder Joel Salifu Oyibo, member representing Kabba-Bunu/Ijumu Federal Constituency, Arc. Salman Idris, members of Kogi State House of Assembly, Commissioners, Traditional Rulers as well as sons and daughters of Bunu land.
