Chief Bayo Adelabu, the Accord Party’s candidate for governor in Oyo State, has demanded that Seyi Makinde resign from his position as governor.
Any government that confesses failure, like Seyi Makinde’s administration, should quit, according to Cheif Bayo Adelabu, especially when it comes to insecurity, environmental sanitization education, and infrastructure development.
“Refuse collection process is no more in place. We need more out of town dump sites in Oyo State. We can even convert waste to wealth. Refuse is now being converted to wealth in other states” He noted
Adelabu blamed the Seyi Makinde administration’s failure on a lack of competence and sincerity.
“Nothing has been done about the demolished police station in Oyo State up to this point; Seyi Makinde prohibited me from rebuilding it.
They copied our idea for solar street lights, started using diesel they provided, and now they want to use gas in 2022. They stole our idea for solar street lights “Adelabu declared
In light of this, the former CBN deputy governor restated his seven-point plan to resurrect the economy through industrialisation, agriculture, enhanced security, high-quality education, and healthcare.
”We will employ more teachers, train them more and reintroduce the Inspectorate Division for the ministry of education for proper monitoring. We will improve welfare of students, provide good libraries and laboratories of high standards and improve the school structures.”
Adelabu lamented the continued delay in payment of backlogged arears of pensions and gratuity to retired workers, stressing that he would ensure they are promptly paid if elected.
“I’m an accountant, I know how to source fund, we will promptly pay all workers. Workers will not only be promptly paid but properly trained in order to qualify for due promotion and other emoluments.”
Adelabu also hinted on the possibility of a coalition towards the success of all Accord candidates in the forthcoming 2023 general election.
Cheif Adelabu, dismised the possibility of dropping his ambition to return to the All Progressive Congress APC, confirmed that he has the allegence of chieftains of other political parties in the state supporting his ambition and those of other candidates of Accord in the coming election .
“Accord is in the election to win overwhelmingly. Accord has been voting since 2011. It is a grassroots party. Accord already with its own structure across the state is now at merger with about 70 percent of the APC
Accord can merge with APC or PDP if they are ready to support my candidature as Accord guber candidate along with our other candidates.
Accord is the most superior party in this coming election in Oyo State. All our candidates are superior, people who are achievers in their private capacities with character and integrity.”
