Mr. Ajayi, said Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa was spending N1.2billions monthly in the name of security vote, lamenting what he described as backwardness of the State. He said that having adequately prepared himself for governance, he was ready to address security challenges square without depleting State resources, if elected, in the forthcoming poll.
The PDP candidate spoke during his campaign tour of Iju and Ita-Ogbolu communities and some other towns in Akure North Local Government Area of the state on Tuesday.
His words, ” We are going to strengthen the Amotekun; we will create forest guards that would work together with Amotekun Corps in all the forests across the state. We will end kidnapping, our farmers will go to farms with peace of mind. We will empower the farmers.
“I was one of those who created Amotekun, so we have ways to reshape it. We will end kidnapping in this state, and our farmers will be empowered so that there will be sufficient food across the state.
“If I get to power, we will form policies to develop the state, and within 10 months, we will change things for the better. We know how to run the government. We won’t be wasting time before we kick start our programmes. APC has destroyed the country, they have caused hunger, so let us vote for PDP. I will ensure free and affordable education. We will employ more teachers.
“Governor Aiyedatiwa is collecting N1.2billion security votes monthly; I don’t need that much money for security; in that money, I will take about N600millon from it to create employment if there are employments for the youths, crimes would be reduced drastically.”
The Director-General of the PDP Campaign Organisation, Clement Faboyede, charged the communities to go and collect their Permanent Voters Cards to enable them to exercise their franchise in the November 16 election.
Mr. Faboyede said,” Please go and get your PVCs to enable you to vote to chase the APC out of power. This is the only power you have to send them (APC) away. We know how hard the country has turned to under the APC government and the only way to send them away is to go out on November 16 to vote for the PDP. Make sure you protect your votes. Don’t allow them to steal your votes.. ..ALSO READ FULL FROM SOURCE ↔️
