Gafar Amere visits Collapsed Idi-Iroko Bridge

The bridge linking Iwo, in Osun State and Oyo, in Oyo State has been washed away as a result of heavy downpour of yesterday.

The bridge breaking down at the Idi-Iroko has now made journey of about 45 kilometres to almost 80 kilometres as motorists now go through Agoro, Lannite and kieseni road.

The Honourable Representing Iwo Federal Constituency at the National Assembly Abuja, Honourable Akintayo Gafar Amere yesterday visited the place to commiserate with the people.

Honourable Gafar Amere while addressing the people assured that he would bring the attention of the relevant government agencies to the plight of the people plying the road which he described as Federal Road.

Some daring people living around the villages now carry the motorcycle to cross the water and they said that it would not be easy to travel almost thirty kilometres to get to their destinations instead of just crossing the bridge.

Other people on the entourage of the Honourable Amere include, Alhaji Gafar Alani Rabiu, Alhaji Oyebamiji Yago, Alhaji Olambamiji, Mr. F. A Aremu among others.

Dear ladies and gentleman, as you can all see, this is 551KM away from Anambra state.

I bet that bridge was drawing like hydraulic soup before it collapsed

This would surely reduce commerce in that region as interstate skull mining activities cannot access their counterparts
