A governorship aspirant on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo state, Dr. Azeez Adeduntan, on Tuesday, made his case as the best candidate the opposition party can field if it intends to wrestle power from Governor Seyi Makinde.
Adeduntan added that he is the only aspirant who has what it takes to defeat the Seyi Makinde-led PDP government in the state.
The APC chieftain said this at the world press conference and formal declaration of his intention to contest for the governorship of Oyo state, in Ibadan.
He officially unveiled his seven-point agenda that would turn around the state, if voted for in the forthcoming election.
Expressing the essential features of his agenda succinctly, Adeduntan noted that security of life and property would be the top priorities of his government, lamenting that hoodlums are now on the prowl in the state.
Other critical areas captured in the policy thrust include: health, education, Youth unemployment, infrastructure, social welfare for the aged and unemployed, and agriculture.
He said, “I have decided, like the great American President John F. Kennedy, not to continue to wait for what my state can do for me, but to challenge myself on what I can do for my state. When I look back at my experience in the public sector, I realise that God has prepared me for this moment.
“I present myself as a capable, competent, and tested hand to make Oyo State greater. I am fully exposed locally and internationally- a Harvard university-trained board-certified cardiovascular surgeon, a general surgeon, a former professor of surgery at Morehouse school of medicine Atlanta, an entrepreneur, and a kind hearted philanthropist.
“Looking at other competitors, I am the best to wrestle power from Governor Makinde and give Oyo state back her pacesetter status. If elected, I shall immediately embark on the full restoration of the glory of Oyo state and make the people the pillar of our government.
“I promise the people of Oyo state to restore effective security of life and property, that is daily becoming a cause of serious concerns to residents of Oyo State”, Adeduntan reassured.
The former Commissioner for Health, however, urged members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the State to come out with their membership cards and slips to vote for him at the primaries billed for May.
