contractor before we stopped the work. what we have seen for the worth 368 million are these reinforcements and concrete over there. Well they did some piling, because we saw they had a piling rig in this place that was dying and waking up, once you may see it working and then for the next two weeks no work, all you will see is mechanics will be losing and xing it. Well, now that 1. 64 billion is Money Of the Day 2017. Have things not gone up in price or not since then? It has gone up (crowd responded). Good. We in 2021, have awarded the contract again, take a listen, we awarded it for One billion and Fifty-Eight million only, million. Following the award, the government will not pay a dime until they have done up to 20% milestone, we will now start to pay every month for a year before we pay it up. From the money of the day 2017 we saved 40 million naira for Oyo state Government, since 2017, now four years – all they have done is what you are seeing here. But on my honor, as I stand in front of you today that with reduce amount of 2021 that we awarded, we will go across this bridge in the next six months. They have wondered that are we using charms or local magic. You remember the song we were singing during our campaign - The God who has the burden – will help us carry it. (Crowd carries on with the song). What we have been doing is that we are sitting down to analyze what we need to do for the people of Oyo State who have tasked us with governance that their livelihoods can be improved. So we want to beg you not to be afraid, - Are you afraid? (Crowd responded no!) Yes, we give them credit for starting the project, but it is not only who started, but who nishes. We are all children of salvation. So this project will be completed in six months and all of us are the supervisors on the project, should you be passing-by and notice anything that you think requires attention, let us know so that we can instruct the contractor accordingly. It is not only the yover bridge that we will be here, but we will also put Street lights. We have started the lights from Idi Ape. Also Mr contractor awarded this yover bridge, If you look at the original bridge that is behind us you will see that they wrote S on it, Do you know what the S stands for? Strabag, it stands for STRABAG. When I was growing up, my paternal father whenever we returned from school, and we had been asked to buy books, buy pencil, and submitted bill. My father's response was ok. I will give you the money when I return from work, He will then leave clothes for us to wash and iron before he returns. We would have gone out to play and forgotten about the chores, when our father returns and we to remind him of the money for books, money for books!! He will say – oh so you have seen STRABAG that will be working for you to come and demand for money for book from Abi, money for book indeed. Peculiar you also put P so that's when you are working in Oyo state… so that some fathers can later be telling their children, have you seen Peculiar abi! (crowd laughing). So on these note, I am happy to gaoff the yover bridge (crowd clapping. Thank you and God bless you. Seyi Makinde March 17th 2021
