A governorship aspirant of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Bamidele Adeleke has promised to re-engineer the State of Osun, if elected.
He noted that the current ‘mis-governance’ of the APC needs to be reworked for the unfettered progress of the state.
Adeleke stated this in a statement exclusively obtained by OSUN DEFENDER, after picking up his Governorship nomination and expression of interest forms at the PDP National Secretariat, Abuja on Friday.
The nephew of the candidate of the PDP in the 2018 governorship election in the state claims that the various policy shift and processes by the current administration which needs proper direction which he will provide.
Dele Adeleke added that he is ready to return the state to the hands of people by engaging in a mantra of true development.
He said: “PDP delivered true development. Our party made sure development was closer to the people, while resource distribution was a lot more equitable through the autonomy and effectiveness of the Local Government in the management of their own affairs. Trunk C roads that served food producing communities and other rural locations were constructed and promptly maintained. However, what we have had since 2010 that the APC administration came, has been a moribund Local Government system. This is why rural dwellers are today living like they are not part of the Osun project. I dare say, that no State can truly develop without adequate Rural- Peri Urban – Urban integration.
“One thing is clear to even the people who are in power today – Osun state needs urgent re-engineering. Financially, Administratively, Politically and Socially, we need a new direction, a new mindset, a new thinking and a new approach to solving our problems. We need a new order! This new order is what ‘Dele Adeleke represents.
“I am coming into this race with three decades of hard-earned working experience in corporate financial re-engineering, project management and human resource management. My professional qualifications and proven track record of practical industry exposure have prepared me for challenging situations like the one Osun is presently mired, I am eminently qualified, competent and ready to undertake the re-engineering and repositioning that Osun so urgently needs. Therefore, I offer myself in service to be the vessel of upliftment, the ladder of ascension to the progress and prosperity of our beloved state.
“Picking up my nomination form is the first step in the long journey towards wrestling power from the incumbent APC. Having taken this first step, I declare my readiness to do all that it will constructively take, to win the confidence of all stakeholders, leaders and teeming party faithful to be elected as the PDP Flagbearer, go on to win the Governorship election and ultimately deliver great service to the people of our dear State.
“Please join hands with me, support this movement to birth a new dawn of prosperity. Let us stand firm and undeterred in our conviction to set Osun on the path of sustainable development,” Dele Adeleke noted.
