Barely 62 Days To Handover, Ajimobi Fights Motorists Over ‘Lone Bridge’ Usage
Oyo State Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi is very angry. His anger this time around had nothing to do with the loss he suffered during the Senatorial elections, or the ridicule his candidate, Bayo Adelabu faced when he was defeated at both the Governor’s stronghold and polling unit on the Governorship election, far from it! The Governor is angry that some drivers passed through the bridge that is ‘officially’ meant for him, his deputy and the Speaker of the State’s House of Assembly.
The bridge which according to history was constructed by the government of General David Jemibewon to ease the traffic at the round-about directly in front of the Governor’s office was freely opened to anyone and everybody going to the secretariat through the Agodi axis, the bridge was constructed to minimise the traffic and allow people gain quick access to the secretariat complex.
A source revealed to papermacheonline that during Governor Ajimobi’s government, citing ‘security reasons’, the bridge was converted to the private use of the Governor, his Deputy and the Speaker of the House of Assembly. Even the various Heads of Service, Assembly members and other aides of the Governor were denied the usage of the ‘Jemibewon bridge’.
Some days after the election, the Governor was on his way to office when he sighted some vehicles ahead of him passing the 200 metres long bridge, an angry Ajimobi stopped his convoy, rolled down the glass of his official vehicle, beckoned to the ORTHMA officers on duty, demanding the reason the bridge was opened.
An eye witness painted a mocking picture, saying ‘the Governor was just shouting, who asked you to open this bridge? who is your boss? why did you open the bridge? he was just shouting on top of his voice that he even drew attention of many passers-by, they later drove off after one of his aides wrote down the names of the officers and asked them to report to their office’.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) recently arrested prominent businesswoman and socialite, Aisha Achimugu, following allegations of fraudulent activities related to a multi-million-naira contract awarded to her company by a South-West state.
Achimugu, who serves as the Chairman of Bluewave Exploration and Production Limited, was detained last weekend after a civil society group filed a petition accusing her of involvement in dubious dealings concerning the contract. She was granted bail the following day but has been instructed to return for further questioning in the coming week.
Beyond her corporate endeavors, Achimugu is well-known in elite circles across Lagos and Abuja. Her social media presence showcases a lavish lifestyle, featuring exotic vacations, exclusive yacht parties, and private jet travels.
This arrest marks a significant challenge for Achimugu, whose business empire and social standing are now under intense public scrutiny. The EFCC’s investigation is ongoing, and the outcome may have far-reaching implications for her career and reputation.
A source hinted that Achimugu was asked by the commission to report back on the 30th of March,2025 for further questioning.
Not really bothered by the investigation, the billionaire days after her arrest launched a 30-day feeding Ramadan programme where she targets the less-privileged.
