Don’t quote Tinubu out of context, Aiyedatiwa clarifies flyover comments

Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has clarified President Bola Tinubu's comments on the construction of flyovers by state governors. According to Aiyedatiwa, Tinubu did not condemn necessary projects like the 2.38 kilometre Oyemekun-Oba Adesida flyover in Akure, the state capital.

The governor stated that the flyover was a necessity due to constant traffic congestion along that corridor. He maintained that the project was not a vanity project but a practical response to solving a decades-old problem.

Aiyedatiwa urged that Tinubu's comments should not be taken out of context, adding that the President said governors could build flyovers where they are necessary. The governor made these remarks at Cathedral Junction, where the flag-off of the flyover was done, according to the Daily Post Nigeria.
