Dr Akin Ogunbiyi, the Accord Party candidate in the July 16 Osun State governorship election, has called on the electorate in the state to vote for someone with a proven track record of achievements so that the state can get better.
Ogunbiyi said this while playing host to some community leaders over the weekend.
According to him, the quality of the person elected as governor would determine the quality of the life of the people.
He said, “No one can give what he lacks. If we elect a governor who has not grown any business before, it will be impossible for him to grow our economy. If we elect a governor who is frivolous, he will not take matters that concern us seriously. If we elect an unimaginative person, he will leave us stranded. If we elect an illiterate as governor, he will destroy our education system. So, this election is not just about parties, it is about our future as a people. We must therefore elect a governor that represents the future that we want.
“I am bold to tell you that I, Dr Akin Ogunbiyi of the Accord Party, represent the future of Osun State. I have done quite a number of great things in my life and I know that if given the opportunity, I will do much more for the people.”
While reeling out his plans to improve the economy, education, healthcare delivery and agriculture in the state, Ogunbiyi said the electorate should avoid selling their votes as doing so would result in the people being tied down for four years.
“Why should anyone offer you money for your votes? A person who offers money for your vote is already telling you not to expect anything from him should you vote for him.
