The aspirant of All Progressive Congress APC in the forthcoming local government election in Ogun State, Comrade Desmond Olujimi, has pledged to run an all-inclusive government in order to move the state forward if elected.
Speaking to newsmen in Abeokuta, Olujimi said that good governance would be better achieved when the local government administration is broad-based.
He said his administration would make use of technocrats within the party. “When you say ‘all-inclusive’ it doesn’t mean that you will go and give these jobs to people who did not work. “There are enough technocrats inside our party APC, “It will be suicidal for any elected chairman to abandon people that have worked for he/her success.
He also promised to tackle poverty, hunger and squalor in the state through policies and programmes that would address indolence among the youths.
“I will not allow people to be living in hunger every day. All of us will work together to secure our lives and properties.
“There will be food on the table of everybody and we will develop a homegrown mechanism that will naturally end poverty,” he said.
So all-inclusive that I’m talking about means that even an illiterate will be part of the government.’’ To prove his point Olujimi said he would open the gates at his house free so that the people could move in and out freely to tender their ideas on how to make Abeokuta South secured for the residents.
Olujimi also promised to pay attention to education and environmental sanitation noting that only a society with informed citizens could attain meaningful development.
