Lanlehin donates buses to Oyo Accord

Less than a week after visiting a flood scene in Ibadan, Olufemi Lanlehin, Senator representing Oyo South senatorial district, has donated two brand new buses to the Oyo state chapter of Accord.

The Senator, who delivered the new buses at the Ibadan resident of Rashidi Ladoja, former governor of the state and leader of the party, said the gesture was part of his contribution to the party's growth.

He noted that the vehicles could be used to boost party activities as the nation approaches another round of  elections.

Lanlehin had earlier in the week paid a scheduled visit to the Apete community where dozens of people were killed when a bridge collapsed after a heavy rain.

He regretted the incident, saying it was avoidable if the relevant authorities acted promptly.

The lawmaker also distributed relief materials to other victims who lost properties to the incident, pledging to do more soon.

While presenting buses to the Accord party, the Senator appealed to members to strive to ensure that the party emerges victorious in the 2015 elections.

In his reaction, Ladoja enjoined other party members to be financially committed, adding that the party belongs to them all.

"Accord belongs to all of us. We should all contribute our quota to its growth. I urge you not to shirk in your responsibility to the party", he said.
