A commuter driver, who simply identified as Alhaji Sodiq said: “I’ve been on this road for two hours, I’m so stressed. It’s just so annoying. Just from Owode-ede to Olaiya. This makes no sense to me.

“Why should they inconvenient residents because of a programme. It’s not even today but tomorrow” .

However, CityMirrorNews gathered that there would be a stakeholders meeting and the inauguration of newly elected ward executives on Friday ahead the Saturday Local Congress.
