The calculation of Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, the Governor of
Ondo state to pick a candidate from the Central Senatorial District for
the coming Governorship election is a wrong calculation, the Rebuja of
Osoro land, Oba Gbadebo Bajowa has said.
Oba Bajowa who passed the judgement in his palace at
Igbotako in Okitipupa LGA while receiving the Governorship candidate of
Social Democratic Party (SDP), Dr. Olu Agunloye in his palace said, a
Senatorial District can not be watched to rule the state for 16 years in
succession.
According to him, no one can allow Dr. Olusegun Mimiko who
is from Ondo town in the Central Senatorial District to install Eyitayo
Jegede SAN an indigene of Akure, in the same District as his
successor after eight years in office.
He therefore described the choice of Dr. Olu Agunloye who
is from the Northern Senatorial District and his Deputy, Erelu Modupe
Akindele Martins from Ikale land in the Southern District by the SDP as
a welcomed development and a balanced equation.
He noted that the problem of economy hardship the state is
facing today is because people like Dr. Agunloye, a talented manager of
resources has not been privileged to rule the state.
The Kabiyesi how ever assured that people of Osoro land
will come out to vote for Dr. Agunloye, being a tested, trusted and a
man of integrity now that he is contesting for the number seat knowing
full well that he shall turn things around for better if given the
mandate to be Governor.
He how ever appealed to Dr. Agunloye to consider Igbotako/
Aye and other roads which had been abandoned by the Contractor and the
reconnection of the community which has been in darkness for the psst
two years to National grid.
Other requests include the reviving of Oluwa glass industry
and Palm oil settlement, which were major source of revenue for
Okitipoupa Local Government and Ondo state in particular, the effective
deduction of five percent to tradition Rulers and the University of
Science and Technology which had been suffering neglect in the last
seven years.
The Kabiyesi lamented that the non remittance of the five
percent to local governments by state Governors had brought untold
hardship to traditional Rulers and their Chiefs, as most them receive as
little as N3,000 in a month.
While responding, Dr. Agunloye assured the people of Osoro
land that part of his agenda is to uplift the status of Royal fathers by
removing them ''from the apron'' of state Governors to enable them
offer useful advises and air their views on issues that could be
beneficial to their people at all times.
He disclosed that his administration will invite foreign
investors and Sons and daughters of Okitipupa in diaspora shall be
invited to come home and establish industries to improve the economy and
create jobs for the Youths
