The National Vice Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and a gubernatorial aspirant in Ondo State, Dr. Eddy Olafeso has reiterated that he is prepared for governance. He spoke when he met members of his steering committee at his campaign headquarters, Akure on Tuesday.
“We understand governance is not child’s play and should not be left in the hands of persons not prepared for it. It’s a very serious business. With our experience in the public and private sectors, as well as party administration, I can tell you all that we are prepared for it.” he said.
“We have a onerous task ahead of us, and that is to make Ondo’s sun shine again. We must all be steadfast and committed to this ordained project of getting our State to move forward. Generations unborn won’t forgive us if we don’t get it right this time around as we are at the threshold of total collapse.” he added.
“We can’t all be comfortable with the appalling state of our infrastructure in this State. Our schools are in bad shape with students starved of teachers and a curriculum that’s archaic. We can not be satisfied with our hospitals having no doctors and almost empty as they lack basic equipments. We should be concerned that Ondo State till now is still dependent on federal allocations despite how richly God has blessed us.” he said.
The steering committee comprises of grassrooted politicians who serve as mobilisers for the campaign organization in their respective local governments. The event was attended by several leaders of the party across the state, several former house of assembly members, delegates and party faithfuls.
