The Ondo State PDP Governorship Candidate, Mr Agboola Ajayi, says the state and its people have not fared well under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the last eight years.
The PDP candidate said this at a media parley on Friday in Lagos.
He said that Governor Lucky Ayedatiwa and the APC governorship candidate for the November 16 gubernatorial election had not delivered on promises.
Ajayi, a former Deputy governor in the state, said: “The primary objective of governance is the safety and welfare of the people.
“Any political party that deviates from this avowed principle of governance will definitely get it wrong and become a liability to the people. I have a clear vision of how to make it work.”
He said late Gov. Oluwarotimi Akeredolu left many problems behind, and that those problems had worsened under Ayedatiwa, the former late governor’s Deputy, who took over after his demise.
“The Nov. 16 governorship election in the State therefore calls for serious consideration as this will determine, shape or mar the fortune of the State in the next four years,” he said.
Expressing disappointment in the conduct and outcome of the Sept. 21 governorship election in Edo, Ajayi said democracy would not thrive where a simple exercise of election turned to imposition.
According to him, those who are constitutionally empowered to protect Nigerians and ensure that the right things are done during the election at every given time must not disappoint voters.
