Sen Olufemi Lanlehin, the gubernatorial candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) on Tuesday gave an insight into how it intends to bring smiles to the face of Oyo State suffering masses immediately he is sworn in as the Executive Governor of Oyo State.
The Director of
Public Communication, New Media and Tertiary Institutions of Senator
Olufemi Lanlehin Campaign Organization, Engr Akeem Olatunji, told
reporters that Sen Lanlehin’s integrity, antecedents of his late
father who was described by Late Chief Obafemi Awolowo as loyal,
honest and incorruptible politician coupled with his own performance
as former House of Representative member, former Commissioner and
Senator of the federal Republic of Nigeria would form the major plank
of the ADC template in delivering good governance with human face to
the good people of Oyo State.
Sen Lanlehin while
on the roadshow passed through Idi-Arere area of Ibadan where he saw
the extent of carnage perpetrated by gangsters, this he described as
one of several security challenges that Oyo State has been keeping
away from the media and the outside world. While condoning with the
victims and the general citizens of the state who have been living in
fear, Sen Lanlehin vow to ensure adequate and effective security of
lives and property once he is elected as the governor of the state.
He therefore
faulted the Oyo State government over security levy they are
forcefully collecting from the people and challenge the gubernatorial
candidate of APC who also double as the Chairman of Oyo State
security fund raising committee, Bayo Adelabu, to come out clean on
his role in the disbursement of fund in relation to the deplorable
security situation of the state.
Sen Lanlehin
assured those who lost their investment in the carnage of his
readiness to compensate them as soon as he takes over reing of
governance. The ADC gubernatorial candidate, Sen Lanlehin, at One
promised to put Oje market on the world map thereby making it
attractive for international business community to patronize the
traditional wares and accessories on sale in the market.
He flayed the
Ajimobi led APC government for making an issue out of the location of
Gate Spare Part Market, he accused the APC led government of
clandestine plan to allocate the age long market’s land to top
members of the ruling party without considering the biting poverty
amongst residents of Oyo State and economic crisis it may cause.
Sen Lanlehin advise
the traders in Gate Spare Part Market to bear their present
predicament as he is poised to wipe out their tears once elected.
Good road, toilets,
portable water and health facilities and revolving loans for the
traders are part of plan he has in stock for the traders within one
year of his administration.
Lanlehin said; “We
don’t have any problem at all in ADC, We are very okay and nothing
suggest that anybody leave our party because we are even stronger,
bigger, peaceful, purposeful, well organized and more cohesive than
it was about two months ago. Everyone is a Very Important Personality
(VIP) in ADC of today and that is evident in our rallies either in
Iseyin, Ogbomoso, Oyo and Ibadan. No party can boast of arrays of
tested and trusted politicians in ADC fold. The likes of Sen Monsurat
Sunmonu, Sen Olusoji Akanbi and Bar Bayo Lawal are some of the very
few eggheads Nigeria can be proud of and that’s why we are putting
them forward as our candidates because Oyo State deserves the best
brains.
We expect the Sen
Ajimobi and APC to go to the 33 local government areas in Oyo State
and apologize profusely and demonstrate remorsefulness which they
have failed to do. And they keep going to different places to
organise campaign rallies to insult the people who they have
impoverished through nonpayment of salaries and gratuities most
especially to primary school retirees and other pensioners while the
6 state owned tertiary institutions including LAUTECH are been owed
salaries ranging from ten months to 23 months.
“The ADC
campaign is about one issue; the character of persons who have come
forward to say he want to impose a successor. We are going to bring
character of Sen Abiola Ajimobi into focus as his godson can’t be
better than the worst his government is known for and for APC guber
candidate, we won’t go too far. The best way to review who you are is
your boss, the person who is recommending you. Bayo Adelabu and APC
have failed the integrity test to continue governing Oyo State beyond
May 29 2019.
The Director
General of Senator Lanlehin Campaign Organization (SOLANCO),
Architect Bashiru Lawal, in his own speech emphasized the
determination of Sen Lanlehin administration as from May 29th ensure
that all abandoned projects are completed and the issue of
diversification is given prompt attention so that Oyo State will no
longer be relying on federal allocation for her survival.
The
State economy will be the one that you have contribution from
agriculture and from solid minerals, making solid impact in our GDP.
Hence the need to vote ADC candidates in all elections.
