Governor Dapo Abiodun has slammed his critics, calling them barking dogs.

Disclosing this at the commissioning of a 3.5-kilometre Laderin-Prof Wole Soyinka, Train Station Road in Abeokuta, on Tuesday, said he would only respond with a weekly road inauguration in the next two months.

“We are a very deliberate administration. We will not pay attention to any barking dog. Like they say, nobody throws stones at unripe fruit,” Mr Abiodun said. “So, anybody who decides to attack us on social media, we appreciate the fact that it is because of how intimidating this administration is. So, we have no response for them. I will respond to them by commissioning roads every week for the next two months.”

Mr Abiodun stated that he had constructed about 1,600 kilometres of roads since assuming office in May 2019.

“In the last six years, my administration has constructed, at a minimum, 1,600 kilometres of roads, and that is not a joke. Then, I make bold to say that, at the risk of sounding immodest, that’s more roads than the two administrations before me constructed,” the Ogun governor explained. “They can come and contradict me because facts and figures don’t lie. As we speak, we have at least 20 roads ready for commissioning across the three senatorial districts.”
