The only solution to the economy crisis ravaging the state is to vote bad leaders out of government, the Social Democratic Party (SDP), candidate in the November 26, 2016 Governorship election in Ondo state, Dr. Olu Agunloye has said.
Dr. Agunloye who made the observation at Emure in Owo local government during his campaign tour of the local government said, those that plunge the state into the current mess should be voted out of office through the ballot.
He told the people to use their constitutional powers by using their thumb to safe the situation and speaking with one voice through the ballot and chase out those that had lured them into economy slavery.
The SDP governorship candidate whose mother hails from Emure had a remarkable moments as he danced to the embrace of his kinsmen moving from one house to another en route the palace of Elemure of Emure, Oba Adedubaje Adeyefa.
Aside Owo people, those that received him were the Ibira, Uroboh, Igbo and Hausa communities who sang various songs of solidarity and encomiums as a sign of loyalty to the one they loved.
It will be recalled that Dr. Agunloye whose mother hails from the ancient town of Owo is believed to be the choice of the people going by the kind solidarity songs and encomiums that were showered on him as the most awaited governor of Ondo state.
While thanking the people for the warm reception, he how ever noted that he will not make vague promises like other politicians but assured that he can only make people oriented promises capable of changing lives for better.
He expressed concern over the uncompleted double lane that pass through the major street of Owo, saying, the abandoned project shall be revisited as soon as he assumed power as the governor of Ondo state by February 24, 2017.
According to him, the age long dignity that had since evaded the palace shall be returned by passing a bill that will free the Obas from Government slavery to the state House of Assembly.
He expressed concern that the least paid Oba in Ekiti state that has no mineral resources is better off than their counterparts in Ondo state, even when the meager salaries are not being paid for months.
While responding, Oba Adeyefa commended Dr. Agunloye and the SDP for maintaining a peaceful conduct of their campaigns, saying it shows the kind of integrity which Agunloye is noted for over the years.
His words, ''let the integrity flow which you are known continue to flow freely in the blood of your followers, I can give you our words that we had concluded within the community that we shall vote for a candidate that has integrity and we have found that in you''.
Dr. Agunloye promised that salaries and wealth fare packages of Obas and
Civil Servants shall top the agenda of his administration, adding that
salaries and other emoluments shall be paid as at when due.
