"Alleged Sabotage at Olaiya Flyover: A Desperate Attempt to Discredit

The recent damage to the Olaiya Flyover appears to be a deliberate act of sabotage aimed at tarnishing the structure's integrity. This incident follows the APC's press conference, where they alleged that the state government planned to damage the flyover to justify the impending failure of their own projects at Oke-fia and LAMECO.

The APC party chairmen who praised the quick and prompt condemnation by the state chairman of the party, Prince Gboyega  Famodun, of the needless outbur...
