THE University don cum politician, Professor Adeniyi Olowofela has called on Nigerians to vote for President Muhammadu Buhari for his second term in office, saying his continued infrastructural initiative will drive a rapid and laudable development in the country.
Prof. Olowofela who is also contesting for House of Representatives, Ibarapa East/ Ido Federal Constituency under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), also enjoined them to keep faith with the Buhari/Osinbajo led administration to enjoy better standard of living and good governance.
The former council boss stated this over the weekend while speaking with electorates in Ido local government area of Oyo State.
According to him, God wants to favour Nigerians, a reason he spares life of President Buhari because his adversaries’ mission was to kill him. “We can conspicuously see the rail line by the president along Olowofela village in Ido local government and this leads to Akufo farm settlement axis and other areas.
“For Nigerian youths seeking greener pasture in London, America, Germany and other developed countries, what enhances their developments is infrastructures because infrastructure such as good roads, transportation system, electricity and others enhances rapid development.
“You can see companies like Exide Battery, Dunlop tyres and others that have left Nigeria for Ghana. If we can allow President Buhari to maintain this developmental tempo, companies, both local and international will come here to invest in our economy because we have an enviable population, the key driver of the economy, if well utilized.
“So, this place will develop rapidly, our youths will be gainfully employed but if we don’t build our infrastructure just like Buhari is doing, we will continue with the economic challenges. We have all the best economic resources but we lacked good leaders to help us administer them”, Olowofela said.
He further extolled the virtue of the incumbent governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi for his dedication to serve people of the state.
” I even pity him most times because sometimes after we finished meeting with him at about 1 am midnight, it was this time the governor will start attending to mammoth visitors. He may not leave office until dawn, meaning that he has little or no time for his personal life and this means he has not misused the privilege to serve people of the state. He also has courage to serve and this has led to infrastructural developments and peace in the state.
“In time past, there would have been hullabaloo during electioneering period like this, but this has become things of the past and we know that it is peace that drives developments.
Olowofela, however urged the people of the state to vote enmass for the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the forthcoming elections slated for February and March, 2019.
