Minister Assures Offa of Developmental Projects

He urged the "people of the town to key into the ruling PDP and the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan to be free from bondage, injustice unfair treatment and lopsided development saying "the PDP of today stands for justice,fairness and development."
He added, "we believe in our search for liberation for the people of kwara
state,we must start from Offa. Offa is assumed as the strong hold of opposition in Kwara South, they are not just in the opposition for nothing's sake,they are known to be progressives because they don't condone injustice, tyrants."
Responding the Oloffa,who said he was short of words because the minister had captured his feelings particularly on the deplorable condition of the Ajase-Ipo road offa road lamented" that we rest our case with God."
The monarch recalled that "successive administrations had made promises to fix the road with out redeeming it, at a time they said is a federal road,today we cannot even come out of our houses because of the bad portion of the road for us we have rest our case with God
