If you love God, you will love men. The love of God is the pillar of my compassion for the people of Oyo State and why I have decided to present myself to serve the people.
Secondly, Oyo State is in a state where it needs an experience administrator cum politician to direct its affairs.
I have for over 32 years gathered experience at the Local, State and federal level as an administrator, politician and senior civil servant. My experience will no doubt help me in achieving my Agenda.
Local Government Autonomy:
To revive the dead connection between the people at rural level, bring the dividends of democracy to the people and also make other parts of the state simultaneously enjoy government, the local government must be given free hands to operate. This I will ensure happens, all institutions hijacked from the local governments will be returned to them. Oyo State needs me to make this work, I understand the tier of government better being a product of local government. I was Deputy Chairman in Egbeda Local Government during Governor Akala’s time.
Security:
Without mincing words, one would know that the level of insecurity in the State needs urgent attention.
Under my watch no individual or group will become a terror in the state for any reason. I have plans to restructure the security architecture of the state to ensure a more proactive (Preventive) approach to securing the state. Combative is usually more expensive and less effective. We will involve our corporate organizations, landlords, and other local stakeholders. Security votes will be well expended for productivity, Oyo state people needs me to make it happen.
Education: Right now many of our schools are delisted for national exams and the learning materials as well as infrastructures are suffering. I will ensure that the state meets up with UNESCO benchmark for education budgeting and even raise it further to ensure effectiveness of the system. Funding, infrastructure and training of the trainer are key to plans.
Vocational studies will be encouraged by my government, with support for students after graduation to set up and become employers themselves.
Practical Welfare: I will ensure that workers have bigger testimonies than timely payments of salaries. We will create a system of welfare where their will be value on salaries received by salary earners in the state. Benefits such as educational grant for their Children, launch at work plus other social welfare services will come in.
We won’t focus on government workers alone, Artisans, business owners, self employed will also benefit tangibly from my government which is why we must have data from Local government that is closer to the people.
The rate of unemployment will drop because we will create an environmental gainful for all with adequate security and policies to ensure an all rounder prosperity.
Health
Health is wealth, not just for individuals but also for a state. We will adequately equip our health facilities, and create more where needed.
Primary Basic Health Centres will be equipped to function, our markets will have health centre facilities. We will tap into WHO programmes and funds to take our health sector in the state to first class.
Ibadan will be rescued to dirtiness and diseases as well as other parts of the state. We will invest in building diagnostic centre across the zones of the state to complement the efforts of hospitals and health centres available.
Local Contents:
We will create an environment where foreign investors can come in. However, our state is blessed with talented persons, administrators and resourceful individuals. We will encourage our local businesses and our talents in the state. We will do business with the people of Oyo State who can solve problems and provide alternatives.
Infrastructural development
We will fix our roads, Trunk C roads will feel the presence of government across the state. When the local government is effective no community will suffer in terms of infrastructure. Every community deserves infrastructure and social amenities.
These and many more I will do and most importantly wastages in government will be blocked. We will ensure that our IGR increases and properly managed. Transparency and accountability will be our watchword, Oyo state can trust that I will deliver on these things and many more.
My government will listen and take actions. My Party manifesto is people oriented, my personality is mass compassionate and my conscience is alive to do the right thing always.
