A member of the National Assembly, Dr. Abdulfatai Buhari, has sent a Save Our Soul (SOS) letter to Babatunde Fashola, the Minister of Works and Housing, over the deplorable state of Oyo-Iseyin and Igbeti-Ilorin roads.

Buhari, who represents Oyo North Senatorial District under the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, requested urgent actions from Fashola to fix the two roads within his constituency.

The lawmaker, a native of Ogbomoso, is the Chairman, Senate Committee on Land Transport.

The former Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters in Oyo state in his letter entitled, “Reconstruction of Oyo-Iseyin and Igbeti-Ilorin Roads” which was addressed to Fashola on Wednesday, said that he wrote the letter due to hardship his constituents face on daily basis on the roads.

Apart from the terrible state of the road linking Igbeti to Ilorin, Kwara state capital, a major bridge on that route has collapsed making it difficult for motorists to move freely.

Buhari in the letter, said that the two bridges that linked Oyo and Kwara states from Igbeti has already collapsed, a situation which is affecting economic activities in the area negatively.
