Elder statesman and Afe Babalola University chancellor, Aare Afe Babalola, criticizes the deteriorated condition of the Ado-Ijan-Ilumoba-Ikole federal road in Ekiti State and calls for urgent attention. Vanguard reports that he asks President Bola Tinubu to personally inspect the road so the President can assess its condition firsthand.
Both outlets describe the road as important for connecting communities across Ekiti. The Punch frames Babalola’s request more broadly as an appeal to the Federal Government to revisit and address the problem, emphasizing the need for action to improve the roadway. Vanguard similarly highlights his advocacy, noting he lauds a supporter for consistent campaigning, while still pressing for direct federal intervention.
While the core message is consistent—Babalola urges government action over the road’s poor state—Vanguard specifically adds the call for Tinubu’s personal inspection. The Punch focuses more on the need for the Federal Government to act on the road’s condition.
