He explained that the money the federal government owned the state on federal government project that were already approved and been certified for payment.

According to him, PDP constructed a lot of roads especially intra-city roads, Akala did wonderfully well in the area of road especially the road linking Ogbomoso and Osun state, “Ajimobi cannot measure up to what Akala did; akala went across the state in all the projects he embarked upon throughout his tenure”.

On the assessment of Governor Abiola Ajimobi since his assumption in office Engr. Babalola said based on what he is doing, he does not deserve a second term, “there poverty, the masses is not feeling his impact or the effect of government in the state currently. He said that he competing with the former governor Adebayo Alao-Akala, thinking roads are the only necessary thing, he is channelling all his energy on road, adding that people of other state are the ones benefiting from government contracts”.

He lamented that Ajimobi government is dualising roads where they are not needed explaining that the roads built in isehin are not as important as pipe borne water knowing that there is usually an outbreak of cholera in that part of the state.

He said his government will concentrate more on industrialisation and revive all the dying industries in Oyo state.

On the low power supply in the country, Engineer Babalola said that the only way out of power shortage is to privatise the sector. “private sector is the way out of low power shortage in Nigeria just the way the telecommunication industry was privatised and is now working well”.
