This is the summary of the publications to soil the persons of the honourable minister, " One Idowu Adepoju in his open letter alleged and claimed that the minister has not benefited Ògbomoso as a sport minister even after the late soun "Dashed" him the Agbaakin title, he went further to blame the minister for crown FC denial in hosting their matches in Ogbomoso due to the pavilion renovations taking too long by the Oyo state government, Dear mischief makers, Hon. Sunday  Dare is a friend to Crown FC, he shielded the team last season in the face of NNL Sanction to make the soun boys travelled outside Ogbomoso to host their home matches, his leadership acumen saved the team from the open disgrace.

Unarguably, the individual Idowu Adepoju is alien to Ogbomoso progress in the last few years especially to the benefits attracted to Ogbomoso by the youths and sports sector. To start with, just few weeks after the sport minister in his wisdom renovated the soun township stadium with facilities fit to host NNL matches , the Oyo state government kick-starts her stadia renovation leaving crown Fc with no option than to hosting their last season matches at the ilorin township stadium. At the punch of a bottom the minister ensured that Crown FC matches did not leave Ogbomoso not even for a day, he pushed that Lautech Sport Complex should be made available and approved by NNL to host the matches.

Who will not be proud of a man like Chief Sunday Dare who in 3+ years as the federal minister has attracted numerous progress to Ogbomoso?, the sport complex being constructed in Ogbomoso is not a push over, also is the sport arena donated to Ogbomoso by his foundation is the first of it kind, the renovation of soun township stadium and the approval of Maracana sport complex in Lautech even when the club owners at the state government level abandoned them to risking lives of players and thousands of fans to ilorin every match weekends is a gesture worthy of commendation by the minister, the facelift of other sport facilities within Ogbomoso are all efforts to help sport lovers in the valiant city and this gestures cannot be overlooked for posterity sake.

The 475 million naira Sport Complex in Ikoyi- Ile Ogbomoso is under construction with fund for 2 years being approved, Chief Sunday Dare in his capacity as the sport minister also rebuilt and expanded Lautech Basket Ball court equiped with modern facilities, the first and the only sport arena in Ogbomoso was donated by the sport minister to the youths community, in his goodwill he also got over 15 sons and daughters of Ogbomoso employments into the Nysc, the N1.3 billion erosion control project and internal road construction in Ogbomoso is not a pushover.

The absolute inclusions the ajilete youths got in the NYIF scheme is second to non, over 75 youths in Ogbomoso benefited from the scheme with FG funds ranging from N250,000 - 4 Million Naira respectively, as a federal minister, chief Sunday Dare and hosts of others sees to the actualization of Ayede Federal Polytechnic, singlehandedly he donated N7 million naira brand new Toyota hiace bus to the polytechnic and also approved and released N100 million naira to fix the take-off site of the polytechnic in Ogbomoso.

The 80-bed specialist hospital in Pakiotan Ogbomoso and  several human capacity trainings for youths across oyo state among others are his tremendous strides for the upliftment and success of Ogbomoso.

Speaking to issues, a rejoinder will not have been necessary If you had leverage on the credible information on the cyber space about his tremendous efforts and even information at your disposal by a single phone call to the residents of Ogbomoso since the writer Idowu Adepoju is a migrant in diaspora with a Far-fetched stories giving a political undertone.
