“I will industrialise Osun if voted Governor” – Accord Party Candidate, Akin Ogunbiyi vows

Accord party governorship candidate in the forthcoming July 2022 Osun election, Dr Akin Ogunbiyi has formally declared interest to achieve his ambition on the platform of Accord, OSUNREPORTERS NEWS gathered.

Duriing his declaration on Tuesday in Osogbo, Ogunbiyi enumerated his agenda to move Osun forward if voted to govern the state, explaining that he would achieve great success despite problematic circumstances surrounding the country economy.

While addressing mammoth crowd of supporters at Freedom Park, Ogunbiyi said he defected to Accord Party to contest the top job in the state because he desired to create sustainable impact and responsible governance in every dimension of the lives of the people adding that “I have been contended against unfairly, cheated and even blatantly robbed, all in my desire to passionately serve my fellow citizens who I dearly love and cherish.”

He charged residents of the state against collecting money to vote during elections noting that he offered himself to bring wealth to them when elected governor.

In his words; “I have solved problems for big enterprises and conglomerates. I have helped to drive growth and prosperity for state governments and even nations. Why will not serve my own people with the talents and experience the Almighty God has gracefully endowed me with? I am a true and proud son of lleogbo in Ayedire Local Government Area of Osun State. I was born in this State and had my foundational education here. Riches do not fascinate me. I believe in wealth creation, creating impact in a leverage way. That is, earning very high returns and functioning at high capacity when utilizing resources and facilities.

“Over the years, I have earned well-deserved reputation for driving the talent life cycle diligently and to the desirable fruition. I, as your leader, will be the champion of progressive development, productive transformation, skill acquisition and drastically improved livelihood. I will build men, women and youths as well be a beacon of honour and integrity. My fellow citizens of Osun State, do not believe in the old and discredited playbook that your mind can be skewed and your actions determined by envelopes of money that is not from hard work and beneficial value-addition.

“We will have compulsory free primary education in Osun State. We are mostly the beneficiary of this project by our well respected statesman and sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo of blessed memory. I am assuring the entire citizens of Osun State of a prudent, effective and results-oriented government. We will by God’s grace, transform our State into a thriving, industrialised and modern state,” he promised.

Ogunbiyi was among other gubernatorial aspirants who had wanted to contest the ticket of PDP with Ademola Adeleke before he announced his withdrawal, about a day to the primary and cited planned rigging and bias of the party leadership for his reasons.
