Senator
Olufemi Lanlehin, Oyo State ADC governorship candidate, has charged
voters in the state, to use their index finger to vote out bad
governance, and bring in the ADC, which he said, represents goodness,
and love for the people.
Lanlehin, who spoke in Igangan, Tapa
and Ayete, all in Ibarapa North Local Government Area of the state,
reminded the people to recall his good deeds and antecedents, hence
repay him kindly with their votes come 2 March, 2019.
Introducing
Hon James Adesokan and Hussain Akinlabi, candidates for Ibarapa
Central/North State and Federal Constituencies respectively, to the
enthusiastic crowd at Igangan, Lanlehin called on voters to vote the
ADC in all elections come Saturday, 16 February, 2019.
“I’ve
once been senator, and without being immodest, there are testaments
as to one’s credible performance.
On that score, I know when
a senator has performed, and I can boldly say Senator Adesoji Akanbi
has. So, vote for him come Saturday,” Lanlehin said.
At
Tapa, Lanlehin reeled out his people centred plans and programmes,
which includes free education, affordable healthcare, revitalised
farm settlements complemented by cottage industries, and above all,
the introduction of transparency and accountability in
governance.
“Our people deserve the best of life, that’s
why once we’re sworn in, a new dawn begins immediately,”
Lanlehin said.
At Igboora, in Ibarapa Central Local
Government, Lanlehin called for a minute silence for those killed
during APC’s campaign rally in the town, telling the people that the
best way to avoid such occurrences was to vote in pro people
political parties, whose love for the people was without doubt. The
ADC, Lanlehin added, was that party.
“Once we get the
reins of power, our people become the centerpiece of governance.
Meeting their needs becomes government’s top priority.”
On
Lanlehin’s entourage was former Oyo State deputy governor, Amb
Taofeek Arapaja, Senator Gbenga Babalola, Chief Lowo Obisesan, Hon
Wale Adegoke, and two former commissioners, Alh Asimiyu Ado and Fatai
Aborode.
The campaign tour later touched Ibarapa East Local
Government Area comprising Eruwa and Lanlate, where Lanlehin promised
to provide adequate funding for the towns’ institutions, and indeed,
all state owned institutions, to ensure the economies of those towns
receive life.
“A situation where tertiary institutions
are instructed to be self funding is inappropriate, and we shall
reverse such. All state owned institutions will be adequately
funded,” Lanlehin added.
A roadshow was later done round
Maya, Lanlate and Eruwa, where Lanlehin received positive
commendations from members of the public who trooped out to welcome
him and his entourage.
At the Eruwa Town Hall, ADC candidates
for Ido/Ibarapa East Federal Constituency, Hon Sunday Adepoju, and
Ibarapa East State Constituency, Hon Mark Akinyode, were also
introduced to the excited crowd, while Lanlehin solicited support for
the duo in the forthcoming National Assembly polls.
