Resign now, Bayo Adelabu advises Makinde over admittance  of failure

…speaks on developmental plans for Oyo State

The Governorship candidate of the Accord Party in Oyo State, Chief Bayo Adelabu, has called for the resignation of SeyiMakinde as governor  of Oyo state

Adelabu stated this while responding to questions in a radio interview at the weekend.  According to him, any government that admitted failure in the discharge of his duties to citizens the way Makinde did should resign especially when it concerns insecurity, environmental sanitation, education and infrastructural development .  Gov Makinde had acknowledged that the present dirty environment in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State should not be a surprise to anyone as Ibadan had always been a dirty City.

“Refuse collection process is no more in place. We need more out of town dump sites in Oyo State. We can also convert waste to wealth. Refuse is now being converted to wealth in other states

Adelabu attributed the failure of the  Makinde administration to lack of sincerity and competence.

“Seyi Makinde stopped me from reconstructing the destroyed police station in Oyo State. Nothing has been done about it up till this moment

They appropriated our solar street lights idea, they copied it and started using diesel that they themselves supply, now they want to be using gas to power solar light in 2022.”

The former CBN deputy governor, therefore, reiterated his 7-point agenda aimed at reawakening the economy with agriculture, improved security, quality education, qualitative health care, improved social infrastructure and industrialization.

”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.

Chief Adelabu, dismissed the possibility of dropping his ambition to return to the All Progressive Congress while also confirming that he has the support of chieftains of other political parties in the state who had pledged their support for 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, with its own structure across the state is now at merger with about 70 percent of the APC .

Accord is the most superior party in this coming election in Oyo State. All our candidates are superior, they are achievers in their private capacities with good character and integrity”, he said.
