Osun State doesn't need an Airport, a motor part is enough for the people naa.
Airport with only one flight per week,

Eriokanmi:
I'm telling you. APC is so good at that..I remember when Fayose was constricting an overhead bridge in Ekiti. Apc and fayemi gave him a tough time. That bridge is serving great proposes today. It's a monument to behold. When fayemi now came, he did nothing. His only achievement was to pack the state's money to build a university in Ghana, another man's country.

Apc can spend their last card in spreading falsehood just to gain power. Tinubu is their master in the game. Sadly, people fall cheaply for it. His juju is really working.

The port harcourt refinery is simply a blending facility . Truth is coming out gradually. I talk am.

So, Fayemi did nothing in Ekiti??

APC don't archive anything in Ekiti??

U don't know anything about Ekiti.

Enemy of the country.

PH refinery is a blending facility 😁

This Osun wey dem dey talk, it's APC that brought development to Osun.

From good roads to school.

What has PDP don for Osun people??

Decision of Adeleke to relocate airport to his home town is selfish. Adeleke just want the airport relocated to Ede to benefit his family so that they can easily land their family aircrafts to ede close to Adeleke university.

All the reasons the technical committee cited are baseless and induced. It is amoral for Adeleke to cite such to his home town in ede. If truely it is due to technical issues, then relocate the airport to neutral ground like Iwo or even Osogbo for fairness instead of citing it in his own town after spending lots of money and compensation by previous administration.

Adeleke should just tell us he wants the airport to benefit Adeleke University, Davido, his father and others that have their aircrafts. Adeleke, this is serving self-interest and not public interest no matter how your influenced technical committee paint the relocation

When you politicize virtually every aspect of economy, merits are thrown out of the window. On a norm. I like to believe that when it comes to sighting a proper airport anywhere, there are some key factors to be considered, which would include: Quick and well linked Accessibility to other parts of the state, hotels, restaurants etc... How many of this does or can Ede boost of? (I don't know, I am only asking).

I know Oshogbo has this. I any case, it's best to sight first airport close to the center.

Wetin Osun wan carry airport do sef?

kunle4toyeyaho:
How much of the loan obtained by Fayose was paid back before he left office? It was Fayemi that paid major chunk of the loan.
The airport constructed on Ekiti was done by Fayemi and there is no evidence that he has private university in Ghana.Pls,stop spreading fake news on public spaces

Stop defending the indefensible!

It's on public knowledge that Fayemi packed Ekiti money and went to invest it on a private university in Ghana. That was when he ran from OBJ administration and pick up teaching job as a lecturer in Ghana.

It was in Ghana he conceived the idea of building a university because many Nigerian pupils were denied university admission by JAMB. This is to public knowledge.

Therefore, stop being political by denying what's within public space.

Pootle:
not all state need an airport an airstrip may sound better, ibadan have an airport already which is less than 30min drive to osogbo

Ibadan to Osogbo isn't 30mins, it's upto an hr drive.
Btw, I see the airport as a useless money wasting venture.

What you said is not true. It is is the airport that actually attract hotels, restaurants etc to the area. The moment the airport construction starts people will also start building hotels , restaurants etc around it. MOST hotels around airports comes after the airport not before.
One of the essence of the airport is to develop the area.
Airport can also be sited anywhere as long as the terrain is okay for example not too much of mountains.

Föolish people, I'll pick a secondary school over any airport in Nigeria any fûcking day. Who celebrates over noise pollution ?

You don't know that a project like that brings about more infrastructural development.

Aside Ekiti which was created in 1996, Osun is the poorest and most backward state in the South West.

How an airport became the priority of people who mostly don't have access to quality and affordable healthcare, education, potable water etc is a wonder.

99.9% of Osun indigenes will never use the airport. Politicians are only plunging their states into debt over projects that serve only their selfish interest

WHAT A NEPOTIC FOOL.... The IGBOS, and Igbo brazen self-centerdness always put at play in Osun state by the Ede people, and fronted always by the Adeleke family. They are Always seeking private interest over public one.... He, the governor has no morality, no education, no civility.


NO WONDER HE WAS WITH Obasanjo recently......

Moving or relocating an airport, which successive administrations have invested so much money in, to your own hometown is nothing but an act of nepotism; it's a shade of everything wrong, Mr. Adeleke! By the way, isn't Osogbo the capital of Osun State? I wonder aloud because it seems like everything is eluding that town!

Dalohad:
The Gomina has the right to put projects wherever he seems fit. It is his turn to be Governor and it is a winner-takes-all affair as Tinubu has taught us at the national level.

When an Ido-Osun son becomes Gomina, he can also do as he like.

But for now, Adeleke lo Kan.

Bitter truth!

Another white elephant project loading, either sited in Ido osun or EDE, it's another way to waste scarce resources, of what benefit is the airport to ordinary Osun people, the only benefit is to the elite and the Adelekes to fly their private jets direct to Ede instead of taking the road to or from Ibadan Airport which is around 45 km to Ede/Osogbo. We've not learnt anything in this country, waste of resources while we are still borrowing. Why not use the money to reconstruct the bad roads in the state. Elitist mentality everywhere

He should locate the airport to another place. Why destroy a school for an airport? Who does that?

IrepChrist:
As an indigene of Osun-State, the governor should come clean on this matter. Let him do what is solely in the best interest of the people.

Ido is part of OSUN and Ede is also part of OSUN State so wetin be OSUN State APC problem?

Adeleke Put the Airport where you like and let OSUN State APC miscreants continue their ranting.

MadamVanessa:



Adeleke second term is assured. Man is working.

100%

Oshogbo is 1hr 30 mins away from Ibadan.
That cleared, osun state doesn't need an airport. How many people in sound state travels by air. Even Ibadan airport that was opened in 1982, has been dormant, with festus keyamo approving its upgrade to international.


So, with wasted tax payers money, the government will start a project and not finish it.

With over 29 airports in Nigeria, only 6 are viable. Of which only 3 are international standards

So, why waste money building an airport that won't be viable economically and add more burden to FAAN and other aviation organizations?

After building, you will hand it over to the Federal parastatal that is already having problems with nonviable airports


Look at Ilorin, how many flights take off from there? Look at Ibadan too. Only Lagos and abuja seen to keep up the pace

Ibadan(airport) to Osogbo isn't 45km, it's upto or close to 100km
Someone also said it's less than 30mins, I don't know where Una dey get such figures from oo

Rahkman:
Airport for a very backward state

yes now so that they can fly forward. the roads aren't good enough it slows down their progress hence an airport would do better.

if traveling abroad has turned an achievement in Nigeria and is now CV worthy then owing an airport is an achievement for every state.

only in Nigeria.

Clarification on the Status of the Airport Land in Ido Osun - Kunle Adegoke (SAN)

Prominent Legal practitioner and a former Gubernatorial candidate in Osun State, Kunle Adegoke has weighed in on the controversial Airport relocation move by the PDP/Adeleke Administration

The legal luminary while responding to a post on a Whatsapp platform said, “I have observed some misconceptions being circulated regarding the use of the airport land in Ido Osun and its purported allocation to the Nigerian Air Force. It is essential to set the record straight for the benefit of the public and to avoid any further misunderstanding.

“The claim that the airport land in Ido Osun was earmarked for an Air Force base is incorrect. The Nigerian Air Force initially considered the location but later rejected it because it is not strategic to have an Air Force base situated beside an airport. Based on this consideration, the Air Force base was relocated and is now situated in Osogbo, near the Osun State University (Uniosun).

“As it stands, no Air Force base is being sited in Ido Osun anymore. The airport land remains intact and is more than sufficient to have an airport constructed on it.

“It is crucial to rely on verified information to avoid spreading inaccuracies, especially on matters of public infrastructure and development. The potential of Ido Osun’s airport land remains viable, and its prospects should be a focus of positive development efforts.”

— Kunle Adegoke (SAN)

You don't know that a project like that brings about more infrastructural development.

on paper ? Yes but in today's Nigerian reality, how far ? How many airports in Nigeria today are viable apart from Lagos, Abuja and maybe Port Harcourt and how developed are the surrounding communities ? My original complaint is about the noise pollution planes constitute but let's set that aside. Using Omagwa community that hosts the Ph international airport as an example, apart from access road, what fantastic development has the airport attracted in the last two or three decades ? Even the airport hotel there is in shambles and that's a major airport in Nigeria. The truth is that you don't need an airport to attract infrastructural development as long as different arms of government do their jobs of which monies have already been budgeted and disbursed already especially in the State and LGA cadre. Good roads and transportation services especially inter state buses and railways will go a very long way. I wish many nigerians will have the opportunity of travelling to Europe and Asia to see what's on ground so that this idea of worshipping bastárd politicians will be disposed of once and for all. Any airport project now by any state government either APC, PDP or LP is an avenue to loot the state Treasury to stupor and it won't benefit you or anyone in the state

Why does Osun state needs an airport? Is that the reasonable priority at the moment?

Did he hold any public office in Ekiti before 2010? OBJ had left office before Fayemi became Governor in October 2010, how could he have packed Ekiti money during OBJ time?
Fayemi holds PhD in war studies and he is a lecturer to many universities outside the shore of Nigeria,so how does taking up a salaried job amount to owning a university? What prevents you from submitting a petition to the EFCC since you are privy to how he packed Ekiti money to establish school?

Why are you economical with the Truth?


Don't you know he had brush with fayose. And OBJ helped in enthroning fayose as executive governor. Consequently,he fled Nigeria to take teaching job. The wealth he amassed as Governor helped in building a private university in Ghana. This is to the knowledge of Ekiti citizens.

So, don't defend him. He is a jumbo jet Thief!

Go and ask why they nickname fayose Mr road. Your abuse isn't necessary. Just argue what i said logically with proofs. Go to ekiti with your car. It's life won't remain the same again by the time you come back yet, oyebanji will be telling you sweet fake things about the state.When last did you visit the state?. I was there btw 17th and 22nd October.

I love Nigeria more than many of you think. Propaganda doesn't make a nation rather, it mars her

You na go just dey drag something wey no get head or tail ..Is it better to have an Airport finance and delivered or a forest with nothing .. He shall won't move it and do nothing ...

The ide- Osun people are merely looking at the domino effect of the airport in the long run. Some of the benefit stems from jobs creation to springing up of hotels outside the corridor of the airport.

But my issue is, given how Osun is, will the said airport be viable in terms of having the required traffic?
