An opposition politician from Ogun Central, Dr Abayomi Arabambi, has cried out over the worsening state of road infrastructure in the state. He recently said that the Egba Alake and Egbaland risk becoming inaccessible due to the deplorable roads in the Senatorial District. In an open letter addressed to the Senator representing Ogun West in the 10th Senate, Solomon Olamilekan Adeola (YAYI), Arabambi urged the lawmaker to do something about the bad road challenges confronting Egbaland.
According to him, the Senate Committee’s intervention has become necessary and inevitable as it is now obvious that none of the lawmakers representing the zone is prepared to take any step to address the pathetic roads situation in Ogun Central.
He further appealed to YAYI, the Aremo of Yewaland, who is vying to be Ogun State Governor in 2027, to look beyond party line or senatorial constituency and use his goodwill and political clout to attract the federal government’s support to tackle the worsening road challenges once and for all.
He concluded by saying that if the roads are rehabilitated or fixed, Ogun State indigenes and residents will be forever grateful and loyal to everyone who heeds their cry.

Distinguished Senator,
We, the people of Ogun State, write to you with deep respect and a heart of appreciation. We are proud of your enviable record of service and the transformative touch you have brought to governance.

proud of your leadership, as you continue to deliver projects, empower lives, and drive meaningful change.
We are also aware that it’s expedient for our Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun to spend more to develop roads and other infrastructures in ogun east because of the Airport already in operation there so as to attract investors to Ogun State which is been complimented by the Distinguished Sen and Former Governor of Ogun state His excellency Otunba Gbenga Daniel(OGD).
However, Distinguished Senator, we appeal to your large heart and your well-known love for the entire Ogun populace to please extend your benevolent political and developmental gestures to other parts of the state, particularly Ogun Central Senatorial District, where many of our roads have become a death trap , nearly impassable and which is gradually pushing Egba Land into extinction
