ONDO 2020 :
EUPHORIA, HOPE AS OLAFESO PICKS PDP GOVERNORSHIP NOMINATION FORM IN ABUJA
The 2020 Ondo State governorship contest received a boom on Thursday, as a leading contestant, within the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Olorogun Eddy Eniola Olafeso, accompanied by PDP bigwigs in the State, picked the nomination form, at the National Secretariat, Wadatta Plaza, Abuja. Olafeso is the PDP National Vice Chairman (South West) and a former commissioner of information, implementation and orientation in the State. Some out of eighteen (18) Council Chairmen across the Party in the State are part of the Olafeso’s entourage to Abuja, and he promised a total liberation of the State and its people from the claws of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Former Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Jumoke Akindele, Zonal Secretary of PDP in the South West, Rev. Bunmi Jenyo, and the Organising Secretary of Afenifere, Chief Kole Omololu are some of the dignitaries who were in attendance. While speaking, the PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus ably represented by the Deputy Chairman (South), Elder Yemi Akinwonmi who admitted the soaring popularity of Olafeso, said his hands were tied to make much comments on Olafeso’s ambition. “Everyone of us know that you (Olafeso) are very popular but my hands are tied to make further comments’, Elder Akinwonmi had said. While speaking, Dr Olafeso expressed his happiness, appreciation and assurance that he will become victorious both at the PDP Primaries and the October 10 general election in the State. “I am sure and confident that the PDP will produce the next governor of Ondo State”, Dr. Olafeso said, while thanking his supporters. Olafeso said “Today marks a critical step in the journey to redress the nepostistic and fraudulent kind of governance which have resulted into decayed infrastructure, education, social and human capital and capacity development that have dogged every sphere of Ondo State. The political experience in Ondo State, as presently confirmed in skewed in appointments and infrastructural development, abandoning a squabble chunk of the State to abjecct despair”. Dr Olafeso insisted that frivolity and indolence must be totally eschewed from the polity of Ondo State. He said, “Governance is serious business. It is not a place for learning the ropes particularly, because of the demeaning state of human and capacity development as it operates in our Ondo State of today. This is why we have developed our blueprint to stand on these agenda. HUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT, AGRICULTURE, INFRASTRUCTURE, SECURITY, JOB CREATION AND POWER”. “The narrative must be different. The ideas must be novel in the NEW DEAL that we are offering our people. We will deliver on our mandate through a new, incisive well orchestrated and highly dynamic and fluid Government policies. It is a new narrative founded upon seriousness of government without the usual rhetoric”, Olafeso said. Also, there are strong indications that other political heavyweights are showing interest to join the political train of Olafeso, going by the irrefutable fact that he is the most experienced, competent and committed to the ideals of the PDP since when he joined the party. Olafeso, an Idepe-born grassroot politician is a household name in the political landscape of Ondo who has contributed immensely to the progress of his party and the entire State in general. Ondo people are confident that he is the only man, embedded with natural environments and unbeatable antecedent to wrestle power from the incumbent Governor Rotimi Akeredolu or any other person from the APC. Also present include Chief Omole Kola, Hon. Idowu Ogunmade, former Majority leader, Hon. Akinsoyinnu Ifedayo, former Minority Leader, Hon. Adebusoye Ofaniyi, Engnr. Ogunwa Omoniyi, former Minority Leader, Hon. Akpoebi Lubi, Barr. Olatemiju Adebimpe and Dr Ogunro Kayode. Others are former Minority Leaders, Hon. Ebiwonjumi Sola, and Hon. Ade Adegba.
