July 24, (THEWILL) – The Speaker of Osun State House of Assembly, Hon Timothy Owoeye, has been accused of repossessing a transformer donated to Odi Olowo community in Ilesa East Local Government Area of Osun State.
The Odi Olowo area had been thrown into darkness for a while due to the fact that the transformer supplying light to the area became faulty. It was gathered that the residents of the area have been crying out for help from the state government for a couple of months without any positive response. However, some influential members of the community were able to get the attention of the honourable speaker and he eventually went to their rescue by buying a new transformer for the community which was installed a few days after Owoeye made his promise.
A card carrying member of the All Progressive Congress (APC), he came to power on the platform of the party and has served his first term in office. He was also able to retain his ticket as the APC candidate for ILesa East House of Assembly in the primary election that took place a few weeks ago.
However, after the result of the governorship election was announced on Sunday and APC was ousted out of the state government, it was gathered that the speaker ordered that the transformer be removed from the local government. Many have been attributing his moves to the fact that the election did not favour his party that was why he withdrew his gift.
