‘I’m a victim of Ibadan Circular Road project’ — APM guber candidate, Adekanmbi

Hon. Bimbo Adekanmbi, the gubernatorial candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement, has revealed his status as a victim of the Ibadan Circular Road project. This announcement came during his press conference in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital on Thursday. Construction of the project was initiated under the previous governor, Abiola Ajimobi. Numerous structures, including houses, were demolished as a result of the development, leading to protests from the affected residents.

Adekanmbi, who owns a property in Ona Ara Local Government Area, detailed the emotional toll of the situation. Despite the hardships, he emphasized that the project would serve the public interest. However, he made it clear that he would not serve as a puppet to Governor Seyi Makinde nor would he betray him. He highlighted the inevitability of some people being affected by development projects, expressing his stance against betraying Makinde's reputation.

Despite the challenges, Adekanmbi affirmed his commitment to doing the right thing and not serving as an ingrate or a stooge of Makinde.
