Governor Akeredolu teases Tinubu asking him to fix road to his radio station in Akure

ONDO State governor Rotimi Akeredolu taunted All Progressives Congress (APC) leader Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to construct the road that leads to his private radio station Adaba 88.9 FM located in the state capital Akure.

A successful businessman with his fingers in many pies, Asiwaju Tinubu owns TVC Communications and Adaba 88.9 FM is one of its subsidiaries. Speaking at a dinner and award night to mark the station’s 10th anniversary in Akure, on Friday, Governor Akeredolu advised the management of the station, to ask their boss to construct the road that leads up to it.

He added: “The moment everybody sees Television Continental (TVC) and Adaba FM, they all know who the parents are but I will not say more than that. So, if we have these two big organisations and we all know who their parents are, it could be a form of corporate social responsibility if they can help them build their road.

“We are not seeing much here in Ondo State but a lot is being done in many places. The road to TVC in Lagos was built by him, so, you can help us tell your Oga that this road is not too long for him to do in Ondo State."

Governor Akeredolu said: “It would not even take weeks to complete it because they have all the machinery in Lagos to do it and they will make the road a better one. So, what we can do, we would do, what we cannot do, we would not do. We have a lot of challenges.”

“Adaba was a child of circumstance and from what we know, it has been a voice for the voiceless in the state. Adaba FM birthed what I would call private radio ownership in the state, because I heard it is the first privately-owned radio station in Ondo State.”
