THE governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the
2012 governorship election in Ondo State, Chief Olusola Oke, has said he
joined the race for the forthcoming governorship election in the state
in order to take it back to the path of excellence.
Oke, who stated this in Akure, the Ondo State capital, during formal declaration of his governorship bid on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said the state had been relegated to the background in all areas.
He stated that the present administration in the state had failed to fulfill its electoral promises, saying there was no meaningful projects put in place by Governor Olusegun Mimiko-led administration.
The former PDP legal adviser said he was encouraged to contest on the platform of APC because of the assurance from the leadership of the party that there would be no imposition, no zoning arrangement and promised free and fair primary.
He said he remained the best man for the job in the state, with a pledge to reposition the state within his first six months in office if elected.
Oke said: “I need no introduction in Ondo politics and if I eventually win the APC ticket, I am very sure Mimiko will vote for me and I promise to resuscitate all the moribund industries in the state and create 3,000 jobs within my first six months.
“No new industry, unemployment everywhere, all projects initiated by previous administration have been abandoned but the only thing we see around are cosmetic projects.”
“Nothing has been added to the state in the last seven years, but what I see everywhere is poverty, penury, hunger and anger written on the faces of the people. This is the time to decide and vote for APC in the state.
He said the change phenomenon that started at the center and other South-West states would soon berth in the state, adding that “the battle is not won until PDP is chased out of government in the state.”
Oke noted that the large number of aspirants jostling for the APC ticket was an indication that the party was vibrant in the state.
